WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday approved $4.6 billion (£3.64 billion) in largely humanitarian aid to address a surge of migrants at the southern U.S. border with Mexico, with a vote expected in the full Senate next week.
The legislation does not contain money for Republican President Donald Trump's border wall construction, and Democrats said it included provisions that would keep the Trump administration from raiding the funds to be used for the wall.
