House to Vote on Border Security Bill Same Week Title 42 Expires

Lawmakers have the opportunity to pass what House Majority Leader Steve Scalise says he believes is the “strongest border security package that Congress has ever taken up.”

What’s more, Scalise said, the plan is for the House to vote on the legislation next month, when a public health measure known as Title 42 is lifted.

Scalise and other House Republicans rolled out a border security plan Thursday that includes provisions to lengthen the existing wall along the U.S.-Mexico border by 900 miles, expand use of technology at the border, end the policy of catch and release, and support Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement.

“House Republicans are fed up” with President Joe Biden’s weak border policies…“This morning at 3 a.m., the members, the Republican members, of the Committee of Homeland Security, [Rep.] Michael Guest, as my vice chair, and so many others, culminated the work of several months of stubby-pencil, backroom work, figuring out just the language that would get the job done and deliver for the American people, and we did that,” Green, R-Tenn., said.
