Pelosi Chokes Back Tears Over Photo, Presses for Changes to Border Bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi choked back tears over the photo of a migrant father and daughter killed crossing the Rio Grande River as she pushed for stronger protections in a border crisis funding bill. Pelosi says it is a “shame that this should be the face of America around the world.” Congress is at a standstill over a $4.6 billion funding package to prevent the border crisis from worsening. House Democrats want changes to the Senate-passed bill to better protect migrant children.
