House Republicans Ramp Up Pressure on Biden with Border Visit and Immigration Reform Demands

Speaker Mike Johnson is leading a group of House Republicans to the U.S.-Mexico border to pressure President Biden for stricter immigration policies, linking these demands to support for Ukraine aid. The visit aims to highlight the surge in migrant crossings and advocate for policies like resuming border wall construction and tougher asylum rules. While Senate Republicans and Democrats are negotiating changes, significant policy differences remain, complicating the passage of emergency spending legislation for Ukraine and the potential for a bipartisan immigration deal.
