US Republicans pass ‘extreme’ immigration bill as Title 42 ends

Al Jazeera  

Democrats say the bill passed in the House is a ‘ban on asylum’ and is not expected to advance in the US Senate. “It will build a medieval border wall that is a 14th-century solution to a 21st-century problem.” The bill would also scrap a program that has allowed US officials to accept or quickly turn away some migrants and asylum seekers from Venezuela, Haiti and Nicaragua. A small group of House and Senate legislators hopes Thursday’s bill could give momentum for a separate package in the works that would incorporate aggressive border enforcement with expanded legal immigration through work visas, as well as potentially offer a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the US as children. “It, by itself, would not get 60 votes to get out of here.” Any final bill would need bipartisan support to pass the Senate and agreement from House Republicans on significant changes. “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 who is key to immigration negotiations, Representative Tony Gonzales, is already thinking of how to get the president on board.
