GOP-Held Senate Threatens to Reject $4.5 Billion Emergency Border Bill Passed by House

WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP-held Senate is poised to swiftly reject a $4.5 billion emergency border bill passed by the House. The Senate has instead teed up a vote on a similar but bipartisan alternative as Congress tries to deliver aid to the southern border before the government runs out of money to care for thousands of migrant families and unaccompanied children. The vote will put pressure on the Democratic-controlled House to simply accept the Senate measure and send it to President Donald Trump.
