TL;DR Summary

House GOP leaders are facing internal opposition over their border security bill, causing the timing of the legislation's passage to be uncertain. Some Republicans are pushing to remove language that asks the secretary of homeland security to determine whether Mexican cartels are a "foreign terrorist organization," while others are concerned about the impact of expanding E-verify on agricultural workers. The bill includes provisions to restart construction of the border wall, increase funding for border agents and technology, reinstate the "remain in Mexico" policy, place new restrictions on asylum seekers, and enhance requirements for E-verify.
