McConnell to force vote next week on Trump border funding request
The Hill, Jun 17, 2019

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is pledging to force a vote on President Trump's $4.5 billion request for emergency border money, regardless of whether or not the GOP can reach a deal with Democrats.

McConnell told Fox News's "Fox & Friends" during an interview on Monday that he was planning to bring up a "freestanding" deal in an effort to force Democrats to go on the record either supporting or blocking the request for humanitarian aid legislation.

"I'm going to bring it up freestanding next week and see if they really aren't interested in dealing with this massive humanity that we have to take care of at the border," McConnell said. "What's the objection? This is not about the wall but about the humanitarian crisis."

Mr. Chao is back in action!   

What's the point?  I think we all know who is for and against border funding.  Chuckie and others have been on record in previous years and that approval has recently been brought up.  That approval doesn't mean squat right now.

The only way Trump is going to get any $$ for his wall, is if the DEMS can find a way to make it look like they're the ones that are the humanitarians and that the wall is their idea.  Not going to happen.
