The Republican-led Senate on Wednesday passed a $4.6 billion bill to address the migrant crisis at the southern border, setting up a clash with House Democrats, who have passed a different version of similar legislation.
Republican Senate leaders have said they won't negotiate with House Democrats over differences in their chambers' emergency funding bills for the border, essentially daring the House to take or leave the Senate bill, which has bipartisan backing and the expected support of President Donald Trump.
It's unclear whether the Senate and House can reconcile their bills before Congress breaks for a month-long recess later this week. Earlier Wednesday, Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke earlier Wednesday in an attempt to reconcile the two bills, with the President describing their chat as a "good conversation." But asked if House Democrats will take up the Senate bill, Pelosi firmly said, "no."

Yeah, because compromise is weakness. Reagan said that.
Oh, wait. He actually said the opposite.
We need to get shit done. Digging in on everything is getting nothing done. Letting everyone win a little is not horrible.
Bullshit. We’re in the predicament we’re in now because McConnell let the Democrats have their way the last time this came up.
Pelosi firmly said, “no.”
MR President, this is your Cue to ORDER the DEPORTATIONS to begin immediately.
Fund the Wall or NO deal.
I thin Republicans already gave a little to get the Dem senators on board. This is enough.
No money given to our veterans or even homeless people crapping in the streets of various cities in CA.
Whatever the direction President Trump takes it the one to take.
“[The President] may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper....”
ARTICLE II, SECTION 3
Has the photo of man and child on the bank of the river been verified as real? Reason I ask is there are so many fake, staged photos like over in Jerusalem with Hamas and dead people only to show them later in other photos alive.
Have a bad feeling Repubs in Senate will cave.
I regret premature deaths. Had the father and
daughter stayed home, they could still be alive.
You cannot fix stupid.
“I hope Republicans stay strong and won’t give in to the Dems. “
The Rinos feel a quiver down their legs anytime a COC lobbyist approaches.
Compromise does not mean capitulation.
That's like idiots who still say, "the US is a Christian country" when the Bible says we can know Christians by their fruits. Look at the fruit the US is bearing as a society and the fruits from fifty years of compromise with democrats.
That's proof that compromise to, "get shit done", means helping to dig our own graves.
Exactly. And round em up ship em out. This is bullchit. They’re gonna pay in 20!
You are right, except not in this case. Dems are being totally obstructionist and completely crass and hypocritical.
First they spent months saying this was a ‘manufactured crisis’ invented by POTUS for political advantage.
Now they are playing politics, making campaign stops and publishing photos of themselves in tears at what they call ‘concentration camps’ and calling POTUS a Nazi and accuse him of abusing children!
The House Dems need to eat crow and pass this bill to provide funding to supply food, shelter and medicine to the border. If not they can eat their words for voting it down.
MR President, this is your Cue to ORDER the DEPORTATIONS to begin immediately.

The deportations should happen anyway.
These are people who already have been ordered deported.
If we fail to remove those with final removal orders, then court orders become meaningless, as do the laws.
Have a bad feeling Repubs in Senate will cave.

Is that because Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Daines, Romney, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans?
As long as Trump doesn’t listen to the toddlers he brought with him to the White House, I’m good with Trump. Hopefully Hantity talks to him tonight.
