House Republicans Spar Over Border Bill

“House Republicans had hoped to make border security legislation one of the first bills they passed after retaking the majority,” the Washington Post reports.

“But their plans to bring a bill to the floor as soon as this week have been thwarted by backlash from moderate Republicans concerned that it would threaten migrants’ ability to seek asylum in the United States.”

“The clash highlights the tensions among House Republicans over how to revise the country’s immigration laws, with some lawmakers pushing a more aggressive approach to the border than others despite agreement that the Biden administration’s policies are failing.”
