House Approves $695M H.R. 5230 "Secure the Southwest Border Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2014" / "Secure the Southwest Border Act of 2014 " by vote of 223 - 189, with 20 members not voting.

Four Republicans voted "Nay" - Jones of NC (expected), Massie of KY (expected), Broun of GA (expected) and Fincher of TN (unexpected).

Dem. Henry Cuellar of TX voted with the Republicans.

Dems not thrilled.

DACA ("Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals") debate and vote coming up next, then possibly Iron Dome funds vote after that before going home on vacation.

At least the GOP house members can go home now for the summer break and claim they passed something to address the border issue and if it where not for the pedo leader in the senate these bills would have a better chance of becoming law.
