WASHINGTON - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday opened the door to President Donald Trump’s proposal for emergency funds to address a migrant surge at the southern U.S. border, saying some money to alleviate the humanitarian crisis could be included in pending disaster relief legislation.
Democrats initially questioned whether the administration was seeking more funding to expand the detention of migrants entering the United States illegally. John Sanders, acting commissioner of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, said on Wednesday that the number of people apprehended at the border since Oct. 1 was nearly 520,000, the highest level in a decade. He said that in the past seven days, there was an average of 4,500 arrests a day.
