House Republicans prepare major border bill after months of infighting – By Anna Giaritelli (Washington Examiner) / April 2 2023
As Republicans near the 100-day mark since taking control of the House, the party has nothing to show for its hallmark promise of ending the border crisis, thanks to an early attempt in January that never coalesced, as well as infighting stalling any progress.
Five GOP aides directly involved in border security legislation efforts spoke with the Washington Examiner this week about the state of affairs, including the party’s next big attempt to move on legislation.
In mid-April, the House Homeland Security Committee will introduce a comprehensive bill that targets a slew of border issues, going far beyond a series of seven bills put forth by members in January that have failed to move out of committee.
“There are no quick fixes, and the Committee is looking to offer long-term, workable solutions,” a committee spokesperson said in a statement.
