House Democratic leaders are close to completing a long-awaited deal with Republicans to deliver billions in emergency aid to the southern border, with plans to approve the package as early as next week
“We’ve been going back and forth with mainly some minor things to see if we can get that final okay and move forward in a bipartisan way,” Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard , who has been leading negotiations for Democrats, told POLITICO. “It’s not really a negotiation back and forth. It’s more refining some areas.”
The Senate has already taken steps toward its own bipartisan deal on border funding. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a $4.6 billion proposal on Wednesday, with a bulk of the money going to the Health and Human Services Department's program to house and care for unaccompanied children. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reiterated to reporters Wednesday that Democrats want to deliver “humanitarian resources” to the border before leaving for the next recess. But if Republicans can’t get on board, Hoyer said Democrats could forge ahead with their own proposal.
“We’d like to move on it in a bipartisan way,” Hoyer said. “If that’s not possible, I would hope we would pass our own version of what we think that humanitarian relief is.”
