House Democrats Deliver Proposal To Reinstate Aid To Central America

Description

Democrats in the House of Representatives on Friday proposed reinstating millions of dollars in aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras that was previously cut off by the Trump administration. The proposal was inside a bill to provide $4.5 billion in humanitarian assistance to Central America in order to address the increase in migrants at the Mexico-U.S. border. The Trump administration cut aid to the three Central American countries earlier this week after the president said he was displeased with their immigration policies. Democrats have said the move is counterproductive because it would more likely increase the number of migrants arriving at the border.

  • You're So Lame: Stimulus Bill In Lame-Duck Session Uncertain As Americans Teeter

    White House negotiations with Democrats over another pandemic aid bill have come to naught so far. Congress left town on Tuesday without passing another one, as virus cases surge across the nation, and the economic recovery threatens to grind to a halt. Business Insider reports that the prospect of more coronavirus aid is uncertain during a 'lame-duck session.' Such a session takes place in an even-numbered year, between the general election and the first session of the new Congress. The next deadline Congress faces is December 11. It must approve another spending bill to prevent a government shutdown. President Donald Trump supports another stimulus package. But his position has veered from cutting off relief negotiations to pressing for more money than Democrats.

  • The GOP Has Far More Important Things To Do Than Help Tens Of Millions Of Americans

    President Donald Trump has changed his thinking, and now says he wants a big stimulus bill passed before the general election on November 3rd. Fed Chair Jay Powell also wants to see one passed and has warned that without one, the US economy's recovery will surely falter. But the Republican-led Senate hasn't passed a new coronavirus relief bill since April 21st, and shows little signs of doing so before the election. According to Business Insider, the GOP is far more concerned with getting the Supreme Court tilted to the right by having Amy Coney Barrett confirmed. For more than five months, Congress has held up a comprehensive stimulus package for tens of millions of Americans and left them in limbo. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell wants a so-called 'skinny' bill, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding out for far more for the American worker.
