House Passes Senate Border Bill in Striking Something for Somebody
"The Congressional Hispanic Caucus issued a blistering statement calling the measure a betrayal of our American values.
This bill opposed by the Hispanic caucus and nearly 100 Democratic members of the House will not stop the Trump administrations chaos and cruelty, the statement said. What happened today is unacceptable, and we will not forget this betrayal.
Liberal Democrats were left fuming. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York called the decision an abdication of power we should refuse to accept. The Trump administration, she said, will keep hurting kids if we do.
Representative Mark Pocan, Democrat of Wisconsin and a chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, scathingly singled out the Problem Solvers Caucus, a group of 23 moderate Democrats and 23 Republicans who lobbied lawmakers to accept the Senate measure, asking on Twitter, Since when did the Problem Solvers Caucus become the Child Abuse Caucus?
