The accord in the Senate comes after weeks of partisan fighting over how to address the crisis along the border, where more than 100,000 illegal immigrants have been apprehended each of the past several months and 675,000 have been caught at the border this fiscal year.

“Our personnel on the ground are doing everything they can to secure the border and care for these vulnerable populations,” Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said Wednesday. “But their determination has outstripped their resources.”

The measure excludes any funding for a border wall or barriers, but provides $145 million for the Defense Department, which has been deploying troops to the border.

It includes $2.9 million for the Health and Human Services Department, which is responsible for caring for the thousands of unaccompanied children picked up along the border every month, and $1.3 billion for the Homeland Security Department to provide food, shelter and medical care for adult illegal immigrants.

Another $220 million in the measure is directed to the Justice Department “to help process immigration cases and detain dangerous individuals,” according to the Senate panel.

The measure excludes “poison pills,” Shelby said, including demands from Democrats that the bill require educational, recreational and legal resources be provided for illegal immigrants.

Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who is the top Democrat on the panel, called the measure “a good faith compromise,” that will address the humanitarian needs on the border.

Democrats have been staunchly opposed to providing money for more detention beds or for anything that would make it easier for the U.S. government to detain illegal immigrants.

Leahy said the measure provides $20 million for “alternatives to detention” and $30 million for nonprofit organizations who shelter illegal immigrants released from detention.

“The package we are considering today is primarily a humanitarian assistance package,” Leahy said.
