House GOP's Nehls Vocal on Rejecting Border Deal to Undermine Biden

Republican Rep. Troy Nehls has expressed opposition to any border security deal that could potentially boost President Joe Biden's approval ratings, stating he will not support measures that aid Democrats politically. Nehls is holding out for a proposal similar to HR 2, a stringent immigration bill that previously passed the House without Democratic support. This stance comes as senators are negotiating a bipartisan border security deal, which is less extreme than HR 2 but aims to garner enough support to pass. The issue underscores the political tension surrounding immigration policy and border security in the U.S.
