Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday he'll present a free-standing bill next week to allocate money to relieve the humanitarian crisis at the nation's border after Senate Democrats insisted on removing the measure from the recently-passed supplemental disaster bill.
"Last week or two ago we passed a supplemental (bill) for the floods, storm, damages we had in Puerto Rico, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, and Nebraska," the Kentucky Republican told Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "In the Senate, we wanted to add to it roughly $5 billion the president requested to deal, not with the wall, but just the humanitarian part of the crisis at the border. The Democrats insisted on taking it out."
He said once the bill is brought up as a free-standing measure, it will be seen whether Democrats are truly interested in dealing with the humanitarian crisis at the border.

The Dems want the "suffering" to continue unabated so that they can hammer the President and his followers with it.
How about you and your RINO friends begin to back this PRESIDENT?? You POS.
How are you supposed to solve a problem whit the position of " I will no longer work with the Democrats"? The reality is , that you need the Democrats to get something passed
Republicans need to work really hard to win total control of both the house and senate by large margins. The President and the country need it.
