The Republican-controlled House conducted a vote regarding a significant matter concerning migrants who are presently residing in the United States unlawfully.
This surge in numbers results from President Joe Biden’s immediate reversal of former President Donald Trump’s highly effective immigration and border enforcement policies.
Legislators enacted a provision that prohibits using public land to accommodate undocumented migrants temporarily during their asylum application process.
“The bill, H.R. 5283, passed with a majority of Republicans in support, 224–203,” the outlet reported, adding that the bill’s fate in the upper chamber is also certain, but not in a positive way for the GOP.
“It’s dead on arrival in the U.S. Senate, where Democrats hold a slim majority, and many Democrats criticized the bill as a messaging tactic for the 2024 elections, where hard-line immigration policies are the cornerstone of the GOP platform,” the outlet reported.
