Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., talks to reporters after the Senate passed a $19 billion disaster aid bill to help a number of states and Puerto Rico recover after a series of hurricanes, floods and wildfires, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, May 23, 2019. Republican leaders agreed to Democrats' demand to toss out President Donald Trump's $4.
Much of the money would go to Trump strongholds such as the Florida Panhandle, rural Georgia and North Carolina, and Iowa and Nebraska. Several military facilities would receive money to rebuild, including Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska.After weeks of fighting, Democrats bested Trump and won further aid to Puerto Rico, the U.S. territory slammed by back-to-back hurricanes in 2017.
Schumer said the bill was virtually the same as what he and Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, proposed six weeks ago. He said the bill “could have been passed then. It wasn’t Democrats blocking it.” But border needs are increasingly desperate, and lawmakers will face intense pressure to act when they return next month. Money to house and care for migrants is expected to run out in June.
Once again Democrats are in denial that a crises exist at our border! Trump should veto the bill and Democrats what they can do with it!
So sad that politics come before aid
So much damn winning.
Oh... I guess wall wasn't important republicans!
Were can this bill be seem Is it full of pork Has to be or both sides wouldnt agree on it.
Finally. Think of all the people who have suffered for so long.
'unprecedented influx of migrants at U.S.-Mexico border' - this is a lie. the AP has lost all credebility
First of all you don't NEED money for a man made humanitarian crisis. If you did we shouldn't have given TAX BREAKS to corporations FARMERS in the midwest need $34M to clean their fields & more for LOST revenue. Farmers or Legal Asylum detention camps?
When is the VA hospital going to be addressed. The “state of the art” hospital in Denver has been sitting almost fully completed, and all but abandoned . This cost tax payers billions.
The two don’t belong together this is $$$ for people who just lost everything not a politics
Disgustingly partisan vote. Why?
Democrats insist on border chaos.
My hometown panamacity doesn’t need the money. They’re fine. And if they take it, they are weak lazy idiots. But they’ll take it because even my folks are trailer trash now
DemocratsHateAmericans DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica this is ridiculously we need to SecureOurBorders DoNothingCongress Democrats are a waste of oxygen.
Yay politics as usual.🤦♂️
Democrats are killing America. A silent Civil War.
Wow, AP really working the propaganda hard on that headline.
Finally Dems are bringing it!
So little known change to tax code as a result of the Trump/Republican tax scam. Places not declared Federal disaster areas, people can no longer deduct losses. Its calked casualty loss. Used to be there, now gone. So tornadoes? all of those places would have to be declared.
Does this mean we're gonna miss out on 4.5 miles of fence w/spikes on it.. aka wall?
As an American citizen, you can't get disaster aid from the government if you haven't signed a pledge to Israel. Look up the anti-bds laws in 20+ states.
Democrats just don’t give a damn about laws at the border.
Not true
Influx is NOT unprecedented. We had more under Bush and Obama. Fact check please.
I like a clean bill 🤷🏻♀️👏🙌
Democrats insist on a clean bill and you make it sound like they're the unreasonable ones? lol ok
Finally Democrats are learning how to play this game with traitors GOP
Democrats are failing. They will continue to try and destroy Trump until 2020 and never get anything done for America.
How can anyone not see that these Dems don't want any progress that benefits the voters, so they can blame Trump in the hopes of future self serving votes? Just how stupid are you libs? It's crystal clear.

As Trump relents on Puerto Rico and border funding, senators reach deal for $19.1 billion in disaster aidSenators reached a deal on a disaster aid package that was held up over immigration issues and President Trump's opposition to funds for Puerto Rico. The questions are: Will the House approve? And will the President sign it? More money that will not be used for what its needed.. .. more money going down the drain. I live in Puerto Rico, and the primary problem our government has, its that they dont know how to manage money. I appreciate the help, but the people of Puerto Rico will not see a dime. That's a lot of water.
