House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has abandoned the House’s migrant crisis funding bill in favor of the Senate’s less radical version, which includes some of the Democrats’ many pro-migration priorities. The concession was made as the House and Senate ran out of debating time prior to the July 4 recess, amid strong support from Senate Democrats for the Senate’s migration crisis funding bill.
But the concession is not a permanent defeat for House Democrats, who will likely include many of their pro-migration, anti-enforcement priorities in the pending homeland security funding bill.
The Senate migration crisis bill provides more than $1 billion to preserve the orderly inflow of many economic migrants into Americans’ workplaces and schools, and includes no spending to curb migration.
The Senate also ensures more than $3 billion to maintain the well-organized pipeline of so-called “Unaccompanied Alien Children” from Central America to their sponsors in the United States. Most of the sponsors are the youths’ parents and in-laws, many of whom are living illegally in the United States.
The Senate bill preserves the UAC pipeline because it includes a Democratic amendment which bars ICE from deporting the illegal immigrants who sign up as “sponsors.” In 2018, President Donald Trump’s enforcement officers began deporting illegals who revealed themselves while trying to pick up their children at shelters run by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Pelosi dropped the House’s version of the bill amid opposition from swing district Democrats. According to Politico:
The House had planned to vote Thursday on its amended version of the border package. But roughly 18 moderates vowed to oppose the bill on the floor, according to multiple sources familiar with the whip count.

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
AS horrible as I think Pelosi is, she is the most sane Democrat on the national stage. She has a good understanding that politics is the art of the possible. Unfortunately, for her, and, for the Democratic party, the followers are not letting her lead. By rushing foolishly to the forefront, the “followers” are destroying the Democratic party’s chances.
I told a rambunctious subordinate, (approximately) “Learning how to lead is first learning how to follow. When my boss gives me instructions, I only question them in private and then, only to stop him from making a fool of himself. Once he makes a call, I do whatever he asks to the best of my ability. Sometimes it comes out worse than he wanted, but he remembers both that I respectfully warned him and that I did my best.”
Another billion dollars of taxpayer money down the toilet with no positive effect on border enforcement, workplace arrests of illegals, and deportations.
Fail.
Thanks a lot, Cocaine Mitch et al.
“bars ICE from deporting the illegal immigrants who sign up as “sponsors.””
How can an ILLEGAL alien be accepted as sponsoring anyone?!
Yeah, I don’t see any winning here, only losing.
Nah, I think piglosi is a lush, senile, and psychotic. You and I agree that she’s the sanest RAT extant, but she’s still as crazy as an out house bat.
Now do the deportations anyway.
Wonder how much McConnell got from the Koch brothers to keep the Cheap Labor Express rolling over the border. It really makes you want to go out and vote for the RINO whores next year, doesn’t it?
Build the f-ing wall and then talk.
The Republicans caved or were hoodwinked every single time there was an "agreement" even under Reagan,Bush and now Trump. I hate to see our country just rot away.
Good comments. While she may be falling apart physically, her political instincts are second only to Trumps. As Kenny Rogers said, knowing when to hold and when to fold is the secret of the game.
This nonsense could be stopped immediately
with lethal force at the border.
NO! Another BS gift to the illegals and keeps the Rat invasions going.
Unless they have a valid visa, they are illegal aliens, fraudulently documented foreigners, interlopers, trespassers, invaders, pillagers, plunderers, marauders, intruders, encroachers, assaulters, VIOLATORS!
We owe them nothing.
“includes some of the Democrats’ many pro-migration priorities” What the hell? So, we citizens LOSE and La Migra wins
Here's the first one ...
