House sends $70 billion immigration enforcement bill to Trump after razor-thin 214-212 vote
House Republicans muscled a nearly $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill to President Donald Trump's desk on Tuesday, clearing the chamber on a 214-212 vote that required near-total party unity and zero Democratic support.The legislation funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol for three years, a timeline designed to take the fight off the table through the next election cycle and beyond.
Not a single Democrat voted yes. One Republican, Rep. Kevin Kiley of California, sided with the opposition. Every other GOP member held the line.
The bill caps a monthslong standoff in Congress that began when Democrats refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Republicans responded by using a procedural maneuver to bypass the Senate filibuster and pass the package without a single vote from across the aisle.
The Senate cleared its version last week during an overnight session, 52-47, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska the only Republican to break ranks. Now the bill heads to the president, as the Associated Press reported, for what is expected to be a swift signature.

Donald Trump said "I love the inflation." So why does it feel like Joe Biden is the one who made another gaffe?
