Progressives say the Senate bill is not strong enough, but centrist Democrats want it to be quickly approved because it has a shot of getting to President Trump’s desk.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is urging congressional Democrats to support a bill to help migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The tweaks would also eliminate funding, included in the Senate version, for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The moves are designed to win support from progressives, who say the Senate bill is not strong enough and includes money to help President Trump continue his border crackdown. The discord between moderates and progressives has put Pelosi in the position of trying to negotiate a package that wins their support as well as the White House and Senate. She held an hour-long phone call with Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday to try to broker an accord, according to a Democratic aide.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , backed by White House support for the bipartisan Senate bill, says he will not budge.
