		</div><p>The Republican-held Senate has passed a bipartisan $4.6bn measure to deliver aid to the US southern border.</p>
<p>The bill has been passed before the government runs out of money to care for thousands of migrant families and unaccompanied children.</p>
<p>The sweeping 84-8 vote came less than 24 hours after the Democratic-controlled House approved a companion measure backed by party liberals that was weighed down by a White House veto threat and bipartisan rejection by the Senate.</p>
<p>Republicans and the White House prefer the Senate measure but House speaker Nancy Pelosi is pressing for quick negotiations to merge the bills — promising that Democrats will not cede to demands to send the Senate bill directly to President Donald Trump without changes.</p>
<p>The Senate vote sent the must-pass legislation measure back the Democratic-controlled House.</p>
<p>Ms Pelosi dismissed speculation that the Democratic-controlled House will simply accept the Senate measure, which cleared a key committee last week with just one dissenting vote. Asked if the House would pass the Senate bill and send it to Mr Trump, Ms Pelosi said “No”.</p>
<p>Ms Pelosi called Mr Trump to discuss the measure.</p>
<p>She told reporters: <em>“There’s some improvements that we think can be reconciled.”</em></p>
<p>Mr Trump said passing the legislation was urgent as he left the White House for Japan and he appeared to leave the door open for negotiations.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“We are moving along very well with a bipartisan bill in the Senate.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s very far along and I believe the House is also going to also be getting together with the Senate to get something done. It’s humanitarian aid. It’s very important.”</em></p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Democrats should change the Loopholes and Asylum Laws so lives will be saved at our Southern Border. They said it was not a crisis at the Border, that it was all just “manufactured.” Now they admit that I was right &#8211; But they must do something about it. Fix the Laws NOW!</p>

<p>The final outcome is not clear. An impasse could imperil passage of the measure, which is needed soon before federal agencies caring for migrants are hamstrung by lack of money.</p>
<p>Congress plans to leave Washington in a few days for a week-long July 4 recess, and pressure is intense to wrap up the legislation before then.</p>
<p>Failure to act could bring a swift political rebuke and accusations of ignoring the plight of innocent immigrant children who are living in overcrowded, often inadequate federal facilities.</p>
