U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday night passed a legislation on spending and border security to avert another government shutdown, hours after the bill was approved by the Senate.
The bill now goes to the desk of President Donald Trump. White House said earlier in the day that the president will sign the bill and declare a national emergency at the same time so as to get money for funding the U.S.-Mexico border wall, his major campaign promise.
The final vote in the House was 300-128, and Senate voted 82-16 to pass the bill Thursday afternoon.
