Voting has concluded on the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill.
The measure passed 309 – 118 Wednesday afternoon, with more Democrats voting for the bill than Republicans. That fact is unsurprising, considering the legislation funded major Democratic priorities.

In this bill:
- $3.1 billion for refugee resettlement

- Increased cap on H2-B visas
- And more money for former President Obama’s priorities
Not in this bill:
- Funding for the border wall
- President Trump’s proposed cuts to domestic programs.
Several of the most conservative members of the House pledged to oppose the bill and more than 100 Republicans ultimately voted against the bill.
