You voted against the House bill.. so this current posturing makes no sense.

Incredible anyone would want to delay funding to address this humanitarian crisis.

Talk about gall.

Meanwhile of course the Senate rejected the House bill because it didn’t have bipartisan support, with virtually no Republicans onboard. The Senate’s bill had broad bipartisan support, 84-8.

And here’s why the Senate GOP wouldn’t go for the House bill:

Your "clean humanitarian bill" had a poison addendum that would have allowed anyone crossing the border with a minor to bypass the initial stages of inquiry — a recipe for human trafficking. If you dropped that addendum, the House bill would be almost identical to the Senate's. https://t.co/dgFLxNczqf
