Faring far better, a bipar- tisan, $16 billion measure to clean up after a scandal at the Department of Vet- erans Affairs and a second bill to prevent a cutoff in highway funding gained fi- nal passage in the Senate and were sent to President Barack Obama for his sig- nature. With lawmakers eager to adjourn, legislation to send Israel $225 million for its Iron Dome missile defense system was blocked, at least initially, by Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma. Three months before midterm elections, the unbreakable dispute over immigration exposed not only enduring disputes between the parties, but also differences inside the ranks of House Republi- cans and among Senate Democrats. And a new outburst of harsh partisan rhetoric be- tween leading officials in both parties served as yet another reminder that af- ter 18 months in office, the current Congress has little to show for its efforts apart from abysmally low public approval ratings. House Speaker John Boehner accused Demo- crats of pursuing a "nutso scheme" of trying to seize on the border crisis to try and grant a path to citizen- ship to millions of immi- grants living in the coun- try illegally. Countering, W hite House spokesman Josh Earnest said blame for failing to fix problems at the border rested with Re- publicans. He charged they have refused to provide "the necessary resources to deal with what they them- selves describe as a serious problem." Despite Boehner's accu- sation, it was Republican unity that cracked first during the day. A few hours after Boehner spoke, Republi- cans abruptly canceled a vote on their own bor- der security legislation, a $659 million measure that also would make it easier to deport the chil- dren from Central Amer- ica now flooding into the United States. They did so after a revolt by tea party- aligned GOP lawmakers, some of whom had con- ferred with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz the night before. The veterans bill cleared the Senate on a vote of 91- 3, one day after the House passed it by 420-5. It was a response to the extremely long delays that some vet- erans experienced while waiting for care, as well as a cover-up by some agency officials. Most of the money will be used to let veterans seek care from outside physi- cians if they live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or face a long wait to see a doctor at one. The legislation also would allow the hiring of additional physicians for the VA and permit the firing of senior executives guilty of poor performance. The bill marked a tra- ditional compromise be- tween the parties and the houses of the sort that lawmakers have struck for generations. Democrats gave up their insistence on more funding, and Repub- licans agreed to let deficits rise by $10 billion as part of the agreement rather than seek offsetting cuts elsewhere. More urgent was the bill to prevent a reduction in federal highway construc- tion funding at the height of the summer construc- tion season. The Transportation De- partment set Friday as the date the Highway Trust Fund will no longer be able to provide all the aid prom- ised, and estimated that states could expect an av- erage reduction of 28 per- cent unless Congress acted by then. The two houses have played legislative ping pong with the issue in re- cent days. But with time running out, the Sen- ate voted 81-13 to pass a House-approved measure making $10.8 billion avail- able, enough to last until next May. Legislation providing money for Iron Dome, the Israeli missile defense sys- tem, had yet to be made public late in the day. In- stead, the funding was tucked inside a border se- curity bill that was drafted by Senate Democrats and opposed by Republicans. Officials said they ex- pected that the Israeli money eventually would be broken out, and that if the Senate approved it, the House would agree. But first, there was bick- ering aplenty over immi- gration, an issue that has divided Congress for years. Said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky: "It boggles the mind that the presi- dent of the United States would rather fundraise in Hollywood than ... to do something to prevent more young people from mak- ing the perilous and po- tentially life-threatening journey across the desert." Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, was no more charitable about House Republicans. She said their approach would "intensify the harm for children." Administration officials have signaled that Obama intends to use an execu- tive order to expand the program, which the presi- dent unveiled in the heat of his presidential re-election campaign in 2012. If he does, Boehner said, "he'll be sealing the deal on his legacy of lawless- ness."
