Senators reach a deal on emergency border funding
CNN ^ | June 18, 2019 | Lauren Fox and Phil Mattingly

The top two appropriators in the US Senate have reached an agreement on a $4.6 billion funding package to address the influx of migrants at the southern border that has been deemed a "humanitarian crisis," according to three people familiar with the deal.

The agreement between Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican, and Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the panel, includes $2.88 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to be directed to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which administration officials warned lawmakers would run out of money by the end of this month without the emergency cash infusion.

See how much other garbage ends up being added to it to buy votes.

$3 billion to the Office of Refugee Resettlement. That assumes these people are refugees. What happens if they run out of money? They shut down?

Nothing to cheer about. This is money FOR the invaders, not to try to stop them.

Exactly and do not forget about the "get out the vote" or "turning red blue" initiatives

Exactly! Until the House and Senate both agree, and put something on the President's desk, it's just a piece of paper.

Partner, with Mitch McConJob doing the negotiations we have our doubts as what this dooooosh can produce, since the Republican Majority leader is one big Rino and a great big dooooooosh.

This isn’t good news. The Office of Refugee Resettlement funding means more “resettlement” in the USA. We need deportation not resettlement.

Wish they would spend the money deporting the invaders. Any thing left over, build the wall.

Oh. So now it’s a crisis?

I watched a snippet of NBC ‘s evening news coverage tonight. That’s a rarity for me. Haven’t watched in, oh, about 15 years, ok 14 years, other than sporadically, like tonight when it was on and I couldn’t avoid it.

Turns out the MSM has finally decided to announce that there are tens of thousands coming every day. They lamented that they are being dropped off in just a couple of places. Those places are overwhelmed!

Well, Trump tried to tell you in January that there was a crisis at the southern border. But they didn’t want to listen! Too late!

Ok, MSM, time to get the word out!
Build The Wall!!!!
