With Congress at a standoff, it's possible that funding for the border crisis won't be approved before lawmakers leave for their Fourth of July recess.
House Democrats and Senate Republicans have dug themselves into a standoff over funding to respond to the crisis at the southern border, raising the possibility that new money will not be approved before lawmakers leave for next week’s Fourth of July recess.
Instead the Senate is expected to pass its own bill with overwhelming bipartisan support. The bill was approved in a committee earlier this month on a 30-1 vote. The competing bills both have about $4.5 billion in humanitarian aid – the vast majority going to the Department of Health and Human Services, not to law enforcement agencies.
