U.S. House passes longshot border security bill after months of infighting by Texas Republicans
Texas National Guard tell migrants that they are not allowed to get into the U.S. after a group cross the Rio Grande between Matamoros, Mexico and Brownsville, Texas. Groups started crossing the heavily fortified section of border on the last day of Title 42, a Trump-era COVID policy.
The bill is unlikely to go further without major changes. Democrats, who control the Senate and White House, have rejected it as"harmful, dangerous, irresponsible and just plain wrong." The bill also would significantly restrict who could be paroled into the U.S., barring the Homeland Security Department from allowing groups of migrants to enter the country, as the Biden administration has done for Ukrainians and Afghans, as well as some Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans.
"I won," Gonzales declared in an interview with Hearst Newspapers. Gonzales said he would not have written some of the bill as it was, but"I was able to take the really nasty stuff out of it, and that’s kind of the way it works up here on the Hill.
