cecelia munoz made the point that congress should be debating the money needed to help deal with bringingimmigration judges to these border areas to decide on these cases, with transporting children. and so she said that congress, though, right now is focused on attaching any moneys that will go to the administration to a change in this 2008 law that would allow the u.s. to stop treating children and immigrants from guatemala, honduras, and el salvador differently than those who come from border countries like mexico and canada, that changing that law would allow the administration to more quickly deport those children. that's what house republicans want to see as part of any money that gets approved. i can tell you that with this one last week before the break, it is looking very, very unlikely the house can pass a bill and the senate can pass a bill that will be reconciled, get to the president's desk and deal with this issue, a pressing issue. >> athena jones reporting live from the white house this morning. >>> it is the political fight that just won't let up. a republican push to try
