VTV.vn - US Congress voted on Monday to end a three-day U.S. government shutdown, approving the latest short-term funding bill as Democrats accepted promises from Republicans for a broad debate later on the future of young illegal immigrants.

he fourth temporary funding bill since October easily passed the Senate and the House of Representatives. President Donald Trump later in the evening signed the measure, largely a product of negotiations among Senate leaders. The so-called continuing resolution keeps the government funded until February 8 to allow Congress time to reach a longer-term budget agreement.

The roughly 700,000 young people were brought to the United States illegally as children, mainly from Mexico and Central America. They mostly grew up in the United States. For the White House, re-opening the government temporarily is good news, but the viewpoint of government immigration still has not changed.
