On Tuesday, Republicans\u2019 sweeping immigration enforcement and border security package cleared the House, ending a months-long standoff with Democrats over funding President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown agenda. The $70 billion immigration enforcement measure passed 214-212 over the fierce objections of Democrats, who unanimously voted against the package. California Independent Representative Kevin Kiley who caucuses with Republicans, also joined Democrats in opposing the measure.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON – A bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement passed the House on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It passed by a vote of 214-212, over the objections of Democrats.<\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/p>\n

The bill will allocate $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol and another $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs.<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

The bill now goes to President Donald Trump’s desk for his signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“It’s long overdue,” said Johnson, R-La., of the bill. “We have to fund border security and immigration enforcement, and it’s sad that Republicans have to do it on our own.”<\/p>\n

Big picture view:<\/p>\n

The funding measure will fuel the administration’s deportation agenda for the remainder of Trump’s final term in office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bill is in addition to the $140 billion that Congress approved for ICE and Customs and Border Patrol Protection last year under Trump’s tax and spending cuts measure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Senate voted on the legislation last week during an overnight session. The final vote was 52-47.<\/p>\n
