WASHINGTON - As the U.S. Senate prepared to vote on Thursday on a proposal to end President Donald Trump’s declaration of an emergency at the southern border, a Republican said he was gaining support for a second bill that would keep the emergency in effect temporarily.
At stake is billions of dollars in funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that Trump is demanding but Congress has refused to fully provide. That 30-day approval window would apply after Trump’s current border declaration expires in one year, meaning it could remain in place for at least one year without congressional approval.
