Draggingtree Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Washington Examiner: Senate quickly blocks House border security billsBY SUSAN FERRECHIO | AUGUST 5, 2014 | 11:50 AM In a matter of minutes, Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a pair of House bills that would have provided nearly $700 million to deal with the surge of immigrants on the southern border and blocked President Obama from expanding an anti-deportation program. Senators left Friday for a five-week recess, hours before the House passed the border legislation in a late-night session. The Senate gaveled in briefly Tuesday, just long enough for Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., to object to taking the House bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
