House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer admonished President Donald Trump on Sunday for the White House's reported plan to secure an additional $8.6 billion in funding from Congress for his long-promised border wall, warning the commander-in-chief that history would"repeat itself" should he follow through with this request.
Trump has yet to confirm the demand, although Reuters and other publications reported the appropriations would be included in the budget proposal the White House is scheduled to unveil Monday. Congress approved roughly $1.4 billion for border fencing projects for the 2019 fiscal year, well under the $5.7 billion Trump asked for. The partisan fights surrounding the issue led to a 35-day partial government shutdown — the longest in U.S. history — that stretched from the end of 2018 and into January.
A resolution opposing the emergency declaration quickly passed in the House, and the Republican-controlled Senate is poised to vote on that resolution this week. A number of GOP senators have already announced plans to vote in favor of the opposition resolution. If it passes, Trump is expected to veto the measure, and send it back to Congress where it does not appear to have sufficient backing to override a veto.
