Congress scrambles to agree on emergency border bill as White House, liberal Dems clash
Fox News ^ | June 25, 2019 | Adam Shaw

A bill to provide $4.5 billion in emergency funding for the escalating humanitarian crisis at the border was on the rocks Tuesday as the White House threatened to veto over restrictions that would "hamstring" immigration enforcement -- and liberal Democrats complained the bill did not go far enough to rein in the administration's efforts on that front.

Both the House and the Senate are scrambling to vote on funding ahead of the July 4 recess, amid reports of poor living conditions in government shelters and even deaths of child migrants as growing migrant flows flood across the border.

More than 144,000 migrants were encountered or apprehended at the border in May, many of them unaccompanied minors or family units, severely complicating efforts to house or deport them. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says the money to address humanitarian concerns at the border and in detention facilities runs out at the end of the month.

The NY Times has a front page article on a Guatemalan family who borrowed $2,600 to head north being told by their smuggler that Mexico had increased border security.

“Simply close the border to illegal immigration.”

Canada has a leftist Prime Minister who would let them cross the Canadian/US border.

Walling off our money by constitutional amendments is what needs to happen.

“the Mexican army herding migrants north”

These migrants would steal the US jobs Mexicans have stolen.

It’s in Mexico’s interest to stop Central American invaders.

This! Why we let them cross the border in the first place is simply mind boggling.

Okay, you line up on one side of the street, I'll line up on the other side of the street in the woods where you can't see me, at night. Do you think you could you could detect me and detain me before I got to the middle of the street. Fat chance. And once I set foot past the line in the street, I have hit US soil and by law, I'm in. We need the laws changed AND THE WALL.

GHWB’s “Compassionate conservatism” was what we thought it was.
Liberalism.

I might add, W, after all, turned out to be nothing more than a Connecticut Democrat.

New Haven, in fact. A big sanctuary city.

Here’s one of his garbage paintings:

Here’s another one about Ehud Olmert

https://static.timesofisrael.com/www/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-04-at-7.55.26-PM-e1396630624463-640x400.png

Ehud Olmert is known for seeking “a covenant of peace”.

The Antichrist will bring false peace (Daniel 8:23-25)

The Antichrist will confirm and then break the 7-year covenant (Daniel 9:26-27)

Now I don’t know exactly who the Antichrist is (just seen some good imitations, LOL) but when Olmert said that Israel sought a “covenant of peace” and then the United Nations elders said they wanted “a man of peace to rule for 7 years” (some time later) .... well that grabbed my attention.

He certainly hates our anti-New World Order President.

And he loves the pro-New World Order folks.

Hmmmm. How about that.

Having done business with Mexican companies and individuals, I would respond it is in Mexico's interest to appear to be doing whatever they agreed with Trump to do. At the moment, Mexico has perhaps a disturbing number of migrants in its country; ask its citizens in and around Tijuana.

IF Trump were serious about the border he could order the US Military to seal it and shoot anyone who tries to cross.

So I deduce he is not serious.

The House version has a poison pill that would force the United States to tell illegal alien border jumpers that if they bring children, even if not THEIR children, they will NOT be subject to immigration actions nor criminal prosecution for human trafficking, etc...

What kind of Mickey Mouse on cocaine is that?!?

If Dems don't agree on the GOP language, any further issues at the border will hang around their necks politically.

Trump out maneuvered them again.

One of the reasons Trump would never sign a bill with all of the triggers in favor of the invading hoards breaking into out country

The Dems put things in a bill that go COMPLTELY against the Constitution and the Rule of Law

They should submit this bill as an amendment to the Constitution, not legislation.

[UN coinciding with God’s Word]

Yep, which is why I’m SCREAMING - LOL

It could be that:

1) Israel is back
2) Jerusalem is a hot-spot -which could result (and WILL result) in Armageddon
3) Technology makes the Mark of the Beast possible (controlling buying and selling)
4) They are using the exact phrase the Bible (RSV, etc.) says they will
5) They want to divide Israel for peace
6) The Globalist, New World Order, United Nations wanted a man for a SINGLE TERM to rule for 7 YEARS
7) He must bring “Peace and Security” as the council wants

It COULD all be coincidence....Or maybe, just maybe the God of Israel and His Holy Word are right on target? (crazy idea).

I already know you agree. :)

I know you’ve already seen this by now but in case others on this thread have not.

http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3759271/posts?page=45#45

The United Nations Elders (2015) were seeking a man to implement “Peace and Security” and to rule for a SINGLE 7-Year term.

Whatta a coincidence (for the thread)

Congress needs to get their act together and focus on defending this country.

There's only a handful of congressmen that want to actually defend the country.

Trump is playing them. He knew they would refuse to work out ANY sort of compromise. The deportations will start in a few more days.

Why are the Dems pushing a $4.5B emergency funding bill to solve a manufactured fake emergency crisis?

They need the money, votes, sex/indentured slavery, organ harvesting, lab rats, adrenochrome, sacrifices and probably several more reasons. POTUS is choking off all their funding pipelines.

Use the 4.5 billion to Build The Wall, presto, no “humanitarian” crisis.
