The deal was negotiated by members of the pragmatic House Main Street Caucus and conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Also absent from the proposal is the White House's request for $16 billion for disaster relief.that orders construction of the border wall to resume, boosts the ranks of Border Patrol agents and tightens asylum rules. The plan included in the continuing resolution, though, leaves out a provision of the immigration bill related to E-Verify, which allows employers to confirm the eligibility of employees to work in the U.S.
Members of the two groups worked over the weekend on the deal to fund the government and address border security, Rep. Scott Perry, a Pennsylvania Republican who chairs the Freedom Caucus, said. Leaders of the House Main Street Caucus said the measure is"laser-focused on fixing the crisis at our southern border."
