The House cleared a $4.6 billion emergency aid package to address the humanitarian crisis at the border, sending the bill to President Donald Trump for his signature. HHS will be out of money in a few weeks without it.
Pelosi said it’s for the children. That is hard to believe since she doesn’t care about the children who are raped on their way up to the border. However, she did seem sincerely upset about the El Salvadoran father who died trying to save his 23-month old daughter in the raging Rio Grande river.
The overwhelming vote in favor of the bill comes after Speaker Nancy Pelosi fought Republicans and members of her own caucus to push for additional language to allegedly protect migrant children before conceding to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Her House bill wasn’t about protecting children, it was about restricting border agents from doing their job. The original house bill, rejected by the Senate, included a clause to basically disband ICE.
Pelosi explained her reasons for conceding are for the children.
The truth is the Progressives demanded all kinds of restrictions but the more moderate Democrats revolted.
THE ‘PROGRESSIVES’ ARE HAVING A FIT
AOC just keeps regurgitating the falsehood that the children don’t have soap and toothbrushes, which they certainly didn’t have on their way up to the U.S. border. She doesn’t want them to have beds, just toothbrushes and soap.
AOC didn’t vote for the House bill. She wouldn’t vote for any bill.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on why she opposes the Senate’s border bill: “I believe that really, what we should ideally be doing is passing a pure humanitarian bill to get money straight to those kids. No tricks, no riders. … We need to get toothpaste, toothbrush, soap” pic.twitter.com/i9P96iPntG

She’s still lying about the concentration camps.
“We have to learn from the… slow, dehumanizing process that leads to horrible things happening to people.”@AOC defends her comparison of migrant detention centers to concentration camps, adding “we have to make sure that…never again, means never again.” https://t.co/nL8k51TLen pic.twitter.com/ic7UX2fHY3

Omar also complained with her usual smirk.
Rep. Ilhan Omar reacts to the House passing the controversial border spending bill: “We had an opportunity to put forth a humanitarian policy and we wasted that opportunity, and it’s quite sad. And I hope that Americans are as appalled as I am” https://t.co/7gKZjFnPmH pic.twitter.com/akACnywwKU

Rashida commented dishonestly, exploiting this little girl’s death.
We won’t forget in #2020. The bill that the Senate passed (with Dem support!!) does not treat this as a humanitarian crisis, but instead writes a blank check to the very administration that caused this crisis. #ForJakelin #CloseTheCamps pic.twitter.com/NBJzbF76rh

Pramila also lied.
Senate Dems put us in a terrible position. Senate bill does absolutely nothing to hold a rogue administration accountable for cruelty. It has no provisions to ensure $$ goes to the children or that for-profit agencies are held accountable. I am a giant no vote on that bill.

THE BILL IS BIPARTISAN
AOC is beside herself.
The bill was co-written by Pat Leahy, was supported by Chuck Schumer and more than half of the Senate Democratic caucus, and won support from 84% of Senators overall. Is this tweet ignorance or deceit? ⬇️ https://t.co/0lDcnrEeQA

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

MCCONNELL WOULDN’T BUDGE BECAUSE ‘DEMOCRATS’ WENT TOO FAR
The so-called Democrats had a House bill that would basically abolish ICE.
The Senate will not pass a border supplemental bill that cuts funding for ICE and the Department of Defense. We already have our compromise. The Shelby-Leahy bill is the only game in town. It’s time to quit playing games and make a law. pic.twitter.com/8Yza967L4H
