Trump selected to advance in Bills' sale process

In this May 27, 2014 file photo, Donald Trump speaks at a National Press Club luncheon in Washington. Trump says he'll submit a bid to buy the Buffalo Bills but that it's unlikely his offer will be the winner. The billionaire businessman told Fox News that's because he's "not going to do something totally stupid" to make the team his. Trump spoke on the eve of Tuesday's, July 29, 2014, deadline for prospective owners to submit initial bids for the National Football League franchise.

US lawmakers postpone recess to deal with immigration

A group of children and seven mothers arrive in Guatemala after being deported from the United States on July 22, 2014In a last-ditch effort to schedule a vote dealing with a influx of undocumented Central American children, the US House of Representatives postponed its summer recess. The move came after the Republican-controlled chamber scrapped a vote earlier in the day on a bill to provide $659 million in emergency aid for the humanitarian crisis at the border. "We'll stay until we vote," said Republican Congressman Darrell Issa. US officials have said that almost 57,000 unaccompanied children have arrived this year from Central America, fleeing poverty and violence at home, and hoping in many instances to reunite with relatives already in the United States.
