Week after week, @HouseDemocrats have refused to do even the bare minimum to address the humanitarian crisis on the border. Despite what @RepMcGovern is saying on the floor right now, I've been requesting and pressing for this since early May. Why wasn't hum. aide done in May? https://t.co/aRnJTFf6Z7

House Democrats have agreed to bring President Donald Trump’s border supplemental request to the floor for a vote, according to a press release from Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy Wednesday.

Trump requested an emergency $4.5 billion border supplemental in May, which aims to help the humanitarian crisis at the border. The money would be used to provide more space for minors, develop short-term processing for asylum seekers, keep the National Guard at the border and more. It would not be used to further building the border wall.

“From conversations I had today with Democratic House leadership and appropriators, I understand that earnest negotiations are underway to bring President Donald Trump’s border supplemental request to the floor for a vote,” Roy said according to a press release. “I’m told that vote could happen within a week.”
