The massive surge in illegal immigration at the southern border, which topped 144,000 apprehensions in May, has prompted bipartisan agreement in Congress that it’s time to pass an emergency spending bill to help deal with what everyone now acknowledges is a crisis. The Senate will attempt to advance an emergency supplemental spending bill next week, but first, both parties will have to strike a deal on what to include in the measure.

“We’ll have to have a supplemental because the needs are so great,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said. “But we’ll have to come to an agreement.”
