Immigration Bill Teeters as GOP Awaits Clarity

New York Times: “Senate Republicans toiled on Tuesday to push forward with a bill to fund President Trump’s immigration crackdown, waiting for a clear statement from the administration that the president was abandoning the idea of a $1.8 billion fund to pay people he says have been victimized by the federal government.”

“The plan for the fund has generated an intense bipartisan backlash, and many Senate Republicans indicated last month that they would not agree to move forward with the legislation as long as it remained an issue.”
