Minority Whip Steny Hoyer has pointed out to Majority Leader McCarthy there are still five outstanding appropriations bills to be passed by September and the Unemployment Funding since December of 2013 that once passed will provide relief for 300 million Americans.
Majority Leader McCarthy is stalling and it is unsure why. He promises to bring one appropriation bill next week and keep everyone informed about the rest of July.
Rep. Hoyer states there are sufficient numbers of votes to pass the bills in question.

By Ashley Parker WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans (click here) pushed back Thursday at President Obama’s request for nearly $4 billion to help stem the surge of young migrants from Central America to Texas and to deal with the humanitarian crisis there, signaling that they expected concessions for their legislative approval.
The Republicans said that at the very least they planned to amend a 2008 law that affords migrant children from Central American countries extra legal protections when they cross the border. That measure, signed by President George W. Bush, has inadvertently made it more difficult to quickly return these children home....
It is a start. The reason that amendment is necessary is because it will take forever before these people are processed.
There is all kinds of squawking by the right wing media about the teenagers coming across the boarder are members of M13 and very dangerous. That is a blantant lie. Gang members become members after they are in the USA and they don't surrender to Border Patrol agents. I hate it when Americans are played for fools by the right wing media. It's a stupid focus.
