Congress scrambles to agree on emergency border bill as White House, liberal Dems clash

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.

Immigration judges issue deportation orders. Yes we need them, we need all we can get

“Career politicians cannot resolve problems.”

Career politicians create problems that they then resolve- at great cost to taxpayers- to prove that they are relevant

Yes I have very low opinion of politicians

The most caring option, would be for the parents to remain safe at home in Central America, and not endanger their children by the hazardous journey.

Maybe more conservatives and Republicans will point that out.

Amazing how the news fits the Scripture. Word-for-word in some cases.

WOW - there it is - right there - Right as the RSV and similar versions say.

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.

Yes, I can. But I do not have a problem using lethal force. Most of the southern border has a natural barrier, limiting where a person can cross. Other parts have man-made barriers, channelizing where a crossing can occur. Of those intrepid illegals that find the gaps, many are apprehended but others are not. My comment was directed to those that are caught. We should not allow them entrance into the US but mandate that they stay on the south side of the border awaiting adjudication.

Use those billions to finish the freakin’ WALL!!!

Well of course, the recess is more important!

Yesterday I was driving to work (I have to drive through DC) when a Maserati GranTurismo pulled up in front of me. My car pool buddy chuckled "Must be a Senator".

“We should not allow them entrance into the US but mandate that they stay on the south side of the border awaiting adjudication.”

I thought that was implemented

The dems must have stopped it

Needs to be done NOW!

The Syncronization of the News of the Day and the Holy Scriptures especially concerning prophecy is uncanny

Thus my screen name...

Reminds me when I was consulting at a certain popular greeting card manufacturer.

Sitting at the light in my SUV, a bright red Lamborghini Countach pulls up to his red light to the left of me.

Absolutely - great screen name

Late-night thread bump

My pastor friend told me he saw video out of Dearborn I think, Muslims with a pic of Jesus beheaded.

[Syncro]

That’s taking poking God in the eye to a dangerous level

These Islamist fanatics are asking for God’s wrath of woes to rain down upon them

Helps me understand God’s wisdom in OT times of wiping out whole areas of evil people with out mercy

[SaveFerris]

I told him about the U.N. Elders thing from 2015.

He texted me with that today.

He tried to show me on his phone at church but he couldn’t find it. Had so much stuff on there he was scrolling and scrolling.

One more early-evening bump

3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.

Believe me, I am NOT recommending this particular site, BUT they have this article and pic so I'm posting it. I just found the pic and didn't know about this event. It will take a couple of posts to get it in so hang on. (just to keep up on some current events)
