Lawmakers Green-Light $70B for Immigration Enforcement #shorts
The House of Representatives narrowly approved a three-year budget plan in a 215–211 vote that could allow up to $70 billion in new funding for federal immigration enforcement, with no Democratic support. Speaker Mike Johnson kept the vote open for hours to secure enough Republican backing, amid internal negotiations that included demands from farm-state lawmakers for a future ethanol-related vote. The proposal now moves to Republicans in the House and Senate to finalize details and pass the legislation, potentially as soon as May, using a special procedure that bypasses the need for Democratic votes.
