Senate Approves $4.6 Billion Border Aid Bill

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Wednesday, the US Senate approved a bill that would grant 4.6 billion dollars for border aid in an attempt to stem illegal migration across the country's southern border. The legislation will reportedly need to be reconciled with a separate border aid bill passed by the House of Representatives before it is sent to the president to be signed into law. Reuters reports that the White House has claimed that Trump will veto the House's version, which includes restrictions on US immigration agencies and which does not include extra funding for the Defense Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.
