Days ahead of Congress' five-week summer recess, Senate Democrats' $3.5 billion emergency spending bill designed to help deal with tens of thousands of young migrants crossing the border illegally has yet to draw the necessary support to move forward. The inclusion of hundreds of millions of dollars to fight Western wildfires and provide aid for Israel's defense hasn't been enough to win over Republicans, who demand legal changes rejected by Democrats to return the young migrants more quickly to Central America. With polls showing the public paying close attention to the immigration crisis, House Republicans were hoping they could act on their own solution, a slimmed-down, $615 million measure that leaves out the money for wildfires and Israel but includes the contentious policy changes rejected by Senate Democrats.
