WASHINGTON—Democrats in Congress are no longer calling the conditions at the southern border a manufactured crisis. But it has still taken Congress almost two months to even consider legislation to do anything about it.

The House is now taking its first step toward providing much-needed aid to the U.S.-Mexico border. The House Rules Committee is set to take up a bill on June 24 that would approve $4.5 billion for humanitarian relief at the border.
