Republicans to Cut Obama’s U.S. Border Funding Request

[n2doc]

Republicans will grant only enough of President Barack Obama’s $3.7 billion spending request to address the immediate crisis of migrant children at the U.S.- Mexico border, the House Appropriations chairman said.

“We’re trying to sift out of his request those items and dollar numbers that need to be done immediately,” Hal Rogers, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters yesterday in Washington. “The rest of what he’s requested we can consider as we process the regular 2015 appropriations bills.”

House Speaker John Boehner said he wants to come up with a plan by the end of this week and is waiting for Rogers to examine the president’s request. A Republican aide who spoke on condition of anonymity said the House is likely to approve less than half of the money Obama requested last week.

Obama’s $3.7 billion request for emergency spending to deal with the border crisis covers the current fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 and the next one that starts Oct. 1.
