| Description | House Democrats are considering adding a border security bill to the agenda when lawmakers return to vote on emergency aid for states.
Under pressure from the White House, Democratic leaders in the House were discussing on Friday the possibility of adding the Senate border security bill or a similar item to their mid-recess schedule next week.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters on Friday that the administration has been in talks with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) office, pressing the lower chamber to take up the measure when it returns next week to vote on a $26 billion state aid package.
A Democratic leadership aide said that no decision on the border security vote has been made yet. |
