But House Democrats are in no mood to simply hand over the cash after condemning Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies over the last two years.“So you create chaos, and then ask for more money?” Rep. Katherine Clark , vice chair of the House Democratic Caucus, said of the White House’s approach.

Chuy Garcia . “I’m not prepared to go there. Can’t trust them.”
