House Republicans pass new asylum restrictions as Title 42 ends; Biden promises veto

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — House Republicans passed a sweeping bill Thursday to build more U.S.-Mexico border wall and impose new restrictions on asylum seekers, creating a hard-line counter to President Joe Biden’s policies just as migrants are amassing along the border with the end of coronavirus pandemic restrictions. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy called the package “the strongest border security bill this country has ever seen,” saying in a speech on the House floor that “meanwhile, we are seeing a very different record from President Biden.” It took months, however, for Republicans to push the bill through the House amid sometimes public feuds between GOP lawmakers over the legislation. “It will build a medieval border wall that is a 14th-century solution to a 21st-century problem.” At a news conference, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says the House GOP border bill is too extreme. “And in the last several weeks, I’ve had the unfortunate job of communicating on a daily basis, sometimes even hourly basis, with the sheriffs, the Border Patrol agents, mayors and even the governor of Arizona to figure out how we can prepare to deal with this crisis.” Biden has received countless barbs from Congress, but one Texas Republican key to immigration negotiations, Rep. Tony Gonzales, is already thinking of how to get the president on board.
