The supplemental funding request could come as soon as this week.
The White House is expected to soon ask Congress for billions of dollars in emergency funding to deal with the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to multiple sources, although none of these funds will be used for a border wall.which has been under discussion for about a month inside the White House, could come as soon as this week, said the sources, although the timing is still unclear.
In addition to more money for the Homeland Security Department, the White House is also expected to seek additional funds for HHS and the Justice Department — “every stage of migrant processing,” said one source familiar with the request.There has been a record surge of migrant families arriving at the U.S. border this spring, and DHS has been forced to reassign employees to deal with the influx. Trump has ordered roughly 3,000 active-duty U.S.
Getting a border funding bill through Congress is going to be difficult, note GOP and Democratic aides. A disaster aid supplemental package has already bogged down in a dispute between Trump and Democratic leaders over funding for Puerto Rico, and a new border supplemental request could follow that same path.
Instead, Democrats say they're willing to consider doling out cash for only certain programs within DHS, with no new money for enforcement.
