Senate deal on border funding:

+ $4.59 billion total

+ $2.9 billion to HHS to care for migrant children

+ $1.3 billion to DHS for food, shelter, medical care

+ $220 million to DOJ to process cases

+ $145 million to DOD — Jamie Dupree (@jamiedupree) June 19, 2019

The only 'no' vote in the Senate Appropriations Committee came from Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR).

The bill only deals with money to help address the humanitarian needs along the border - it does not address any changes in U.S. immigration laws desired by President Trump.

On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee had been scheduled to start work on a bill which would make some of those immigration reforms, but that work will be delayed into July in search of a bipartisan agreement.



“This is not a crisis - this is a disaster,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who is leading President Trump's charge to change immigration laws.

"Our immigration laws are a disgrace and the Democrats can get together with the Republicans and solve the problem quickly," the President told his campaign kickoff rally on Tuesday night in Orlando, Florida.

Break: The Senate Appropriations Committee passes $4.6 billion humanitarian aid package for the U.S.-Mexico border 30-1, with @SenJeffMerkley as the lone no vote. @senatemajldr has promised a vote of the full Senate next week. — Zach C. Cohen (@Zachary_Cohen) June 19, 2019

It's expected the full Senate could vote on the package next week.

It is not clear if the House would follow suit before lawmakers leave town at the end of June for a break during the week of July Fourth.
