With great bi-partisan support! Yeah Republicans!
The legislation also includes funds for the Citizenship and Immigration Services in an attempt to reduce massive backlogs of people crossing into the US, and distributes billions of dollars initially provided by the bipartisan infrastructure bill enacted last year for road, rail and airport projects.
