Meanwhile, the offer includes $415 million in “humanitarian relief specifically for medical care, transportation, food, and cloth” and funds “humanitarian improvements” for the McAllen, Texas, processing center and for a new El Paso, Texas U.S. Border Patrol processing center.
The spending deal attempts to reduce overall detention of border crossers and illegal aliens by limiting the number of beds at federal detention centers to only 40,250 — far less than the 52,000 the Trump administration requested.
The limited detention space will mean that current rates of Catch and Release — where border crossers and illegal aliens are released into the interior of the U.S. — will continue as they have throughout 2017 and 2018.
While reducing detention space for federal immigration officials, the spending deal ramps up what is known as “Alternative to Detention” (ATD) programs that effectively allow for illegal aliens and border crossers to be released into the U.S. with ankle monitors.
Homeland Security officials have previously told Breitbart News these programs are ineffective in monitoring border crossers and that illegal aliens who have been released put into ATD programs are rarely ever deported as federal officials lose track of them.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — tasked with deporting the 12 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. — would not receive any additional funding to add enforcement and deportation agents to the agency, despite requests by Trump.
Though Trump has yet to confirm his support for the spending, White House aides have told the media that they believe the president will sign the deal.

The GOP is a total waste...
If this is true it is total loss..we got nothing...but the 1.3 billion for the wall
Biggest piece of screw Americans!!!
If Trump signs it he is toast as his supporters find out about it, even if he closes the border and or gets border money elsewhere.
Please read it. Please call White House ro object to it.
Thanks for the update.
Shutdown 2 is the appropriate response.

"It's all Trump's fault! He is a racist and a homophobe! Orange man bad!"
So much for the Art of the Deal .
This is the Art of the Disaster .
Trump demanded a wall .
We get Catch and Reakease on Steroids and the wall a never be built in
part of the USA.
We got ROLLED .
Trump
The most violent and dangerous illegal aliens who will be released under this new betrayal should be bussed to the steps of the Capitol, Pelosi’s California estate and the location of any other prominent Congressional enemy of America. These subversives need to start feeling the pain and worse.

Or is this the President budget ?
You bet!
The White house president’s # is:
202-456-1111 note: the line is repeatedly busy and hold times are over 8 mins.
Adversaries are watching our incompetent government and divided countrymen who can’t even agree on a border fence.
Such feeble weakness emboldens enemies who become assured we would not retaliate in the event of a sunk carrier or aircraft.
Trump is surrounded by cheap labor express rats .
They dont want to hear from the base .
When the Koch Bros were dining away in Jan then I knew we are screwed .
Trump needs to rename his Book title , the art of the Cave if he signs this
Trojan Horse disaster .
He shut down the govt so he could get rolled ?
ICE is now handcuffed now while before it had mo restrictions .
The Wall has restrictions now while before the shutdown we could build anywhere .
I think it is even worse than the great case you make. No other country allows( promotes ) small armies of invaders to just walk into their country and demand services! This insanity doesn't even make common sense. It makes democracy look stupid and "freedom" look like a bad thing when your own govt. can run over you like that. It make us look craven, incompetent as well as divided.
Great post. Thanks.
There is Amnesty in this bill .
Read this
Ice has to hand out amnesty to these invaders.
Trump will be giving amnesty when all he told ud tgis was about a WALL .
I seriously do not see how Trump can sign off on this. Shame on him for apparently letting Jared and Ivanka anywhere near this. And shame on Republicans in the Congress putting something like this on paper. I’m sitting here listening to Fox go on and on how HE HAS TO SIGN IT. I want to puke. Trump is surrounded by amnesty lovers, backedstabbed by a congress full of wimps that want amnesty and cheap labor, that are desparate to not give Trump even a minor win—both Republicans and Democrats are aligned on this. My conclusions—he can’t declare an emergency because one it is a slow moving trainwreck that has been going on for a long time, it is old news today, and courts would stop it before the ink is dry. He should close the border. Simple, close it and say no one crosses. He should veto the legislation and re-spell out exactly what is needed and acceptable. Draw and line in the sand and fight/die for that. Tired of the talk and the folding, and the Art of the Deal that sees less money and more strings attached at each new sitting. Where is the great businessman turned president? Time to act.
Needs repeating again and again! But of course this is not a new phenomena. I have never witnessed a group that can continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as often as these "CINO's" (Conservative in name only) have and continue to do.
Such a concern troll! I’ve read your posts. Are you even an American? You don’t seem to be able to spell and all you spew is hatred toward Trump, Rush and others. Give it up, troll!
That being said, I hope PDT shuts the government down again by vetoing the bill.
100+ insight.
China-Russia-Islamic theocracies will all point to USA’s weak incompetent democratic republic government as a proof for the need of their strong authorian governance style,
i.e.: see! Americans can’t get sh1t done.
Democracy = a divided house which cannot stand.
Strong daddy (Putin) / party (Xi) is best for the country & people!
