Meanwhile, senators are looking for a narrow, bipartisan solution to address the end of Title 42.
House Republicans passed a sweeping border bill Thursday after months of intraparty sniping, a symbolic victory achieved just hours before a Trump-era migrant expulsion policy expires.
The legislation is dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Instead, several senators are focused on trying to find a narrow, bipartisan solution focused on the end of Title 42, a law that permits the U.S. to deny asylum and migration claims for public health reasons. “We all wanted to achieve the same thing, but we started off in very different places,” Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in an interview Thursday.
No Democrats voted for the bill, which they labeled the “Child Deportation Act.” Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued Republicans wanted to “weaponize and politicize the border as opposed to doing something meaningful about it.”And they still faced last-minute pushback that sparked a hectic 48 hours of negotiating that at times called into question whether they could pass a bill at all, given their slim majority.
