To deal with a surge of migrants crossing into the United States, the White House is asking Congress for billions of dollars in emergency funds. But House Democrats are in no mood to simply hand over the cash after condemning Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies over the last two years.“So you create chaos, and then ask for more money?” Rep. Katherine Clark , vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, said of the White House’s approach.
The result is likely to be a weeks-long battle within the Democratic Caucus that will expose deep splits on immigration and complicate Washington’s next big funding fight. And with Trump gearing up for his reelection campaign, the issue is only going to get hotter.Sign Up But Democrats say the Department of Homeland Security’s own policies have undermined their faith, especially as officials have“I wouldn’t support any request for funding at this time,” said Rep. Chuy Garcia . “I’m not prepared to go there. Can’t trust them.”
But Democrats say they are horrified by the humanitarian disaster unfolding at the border and recognize that some sort of action is needed.
Don’t agree with this headline
The Onion?
Hello! It’s not the Democrats in a bind - it’s the citizens of the United States that are getting screwed. Stop portraying this as partisan bickering. Russians installed an authoritarian who is dismantling our government, breaking our constitutional covenant. Report on it!
.AOC response gets it right.
Dumb.
Was this article written by a border wall?
Oh yea, he’s a real strategist 😂
Well, they do nothing, what is he supposed to do? The situation is getting worse. This will escalate, million will come! Wages went down in areas where there are lots of illegals...
Pass the wall funding It's quite possible
Democrats, just ignore the immigration problem like you do all other problems while you continue to waste time chasing a hoax.
No one cares about the border. Midterms showed that.
Stop normalizing the actions of a wanna be dictator.
Democrats should throw impeachment at Trump and shut him up.
No means no. Unlike the women you've preyed on, Congress controls the national 'purse strings' and no means no.
Trump is a destroyer. Not a problem solver. Must go in 2020.
I have to wonder why I am following you. You are turning into Breitbart
Until the US gets rid of Trump, they won't be able to fix anything.
How many times has realDonaldTrump said publicly the Democrats and his administration could fix the crisis at Border? Yet total silence from the Left, wake up America. If and that’s if a Democrat gets elected 2020 their solution is to allow them all into America. Then what?
The House of Representatives should suspend the tax cuts for the top two percent until further notice to get the fiscal house of the United States in order. Trump must stop running the country on a credit card that America's younger generations will have to pay for.
Nope
Correct. And more chaos are coming soon,if congress Dems still waiting for 2020 'big win' without the impeachment that should be started now.
Just like most things Trump has decided to 'fix', its far worse now than before he started.
Demand that Trump restore Obama's policy of catch and release. No more internment camps. Replace CBP agents with judges.
Trump made democrats go against their historical view. Dems have always been for strong borders and protecting American jobs. The modern Democratic Party has lost its soul and many of their traditional blue collar voters.
It’s not Trump that created the situation at the border...whether you see it as a security and/or a humanitarian issue, it’s still happening regardless of who’s President.
The 'position' is to pretend refugees are criminals in order to justify building a wall he always said America would NOT pay for.
No shit. Dems are for open borders. Beto said it all- walls kill people
Wonderful! Democrats will be going the way of the dinosaur. FISAGate Sweeet justice is about to be served to every one of you cockroaches.
What, another manufactured crisis at the US-Mexico border from our fake POTUS?
