Paul Kirby reports in the Daily Freeman that Rep. Antonio Delgado, a Democrat from Rhinebeck, and Rep. Paul Tonko, a Democrat from Amsterdam, are both in favor of a $4.5 billion emergency spending bill for humanitarian aid at the U.S.-Mexico border. Both Tonko and Delgado voted for the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Humanitarian Assistance and Security at the Southern Border Act on June 25. The House voted for the bill 230-195, on party lines, and the Senate declined to act on it. Republicans in the Senate prefer a $4.6 billion measure. Legislation to take care of thousands of migrant families and unaccompanied children runs out at the end of the week. “I am horrified by the reported conditions at Customs and Border Patrol facilities operating at our southern border,” Delgado said in a prepared statement. “The [Trump] administration's argument that holding our fellow human beings in overcrowded cells, forcing them to try and sleep on concrete floors without soap or toothbrushes, and denying children their most basic needs amounts to 'safe and sanitary' facilities, as required by our own laws, is unconscionable.” Read more about this story in the Daily Freeman.
