House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that the Democaratic controlled House will bend the knee, and has agreed to pass the Senate’s immigration bill.
In a Thursday letter, Pelosi said that while the House is “gravely disappointed” in the Senate for passing their own immigration legislation, “the children come first.”
“Therefore, we will not engage in the same disrespectful behavior that the Senate did in ignoring our priorities. In order to get resources to the children fastest, we will reluctantly pass the Senate bill,” the letter continues.

Senate Dems put us in a terrible position. Senate bill does absolutely nothing to hold a rogue administration accountable for cruelty. It has no provisions to ensure $$ goes to the children or that for-profit agencies are held accountable. I am a giant no vote on that bill.
