From Jim's clicky:

"President Donald Trump's administration has for months warned that the US immigration system was at a "breaking point". The administration has asked for $4.5bn in emergency humanitarian funding and for Congress to change laws that would allow agencies to detain families longer and deport them more quickly.

Many immigration detention facilities are overflowing and unequipped to house families with young children, especially as the numbers of families crossing the US-Mexico border surge to record highs. The Border Patrol made 99,000 apprehensions on the southern border just in April. More than half were parents and children travelling together. "


Yet the Dems refused to fund it, for political reasons.
