The Senate’s border spending package failed to pass on Wednesday Feb. 7, but that could pave the way for a bishop-backed bill.
The original package contained international humanitarian aid and border provisions that the bishops said would cause “potentially life-threatening harm.”
The revised version only contains humanitarian aid, which the bishops do support.
The National Correspondent for The Tablet and Crux, John Lavenburg, joins Currents News to talk more about the two bills.
