"Republican Outrage: Bipartisan Border Bill Sparks Controversy"

Republicans who initially demanded concessions from Democrats on tougher border enforcement are now vehemently opposing the bipartisan compromise legislation seeking to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, with some calling it a betrayal and vowing to filibuster it. Despite including conservative wins, such as provisions to expel migrants and restrict asylum claims, many GOP members are bowing to pressure from Donald Trump and his allies, with some openly admitting they don’t want to give President Joe Biden a victory. The survival of the $118 billion national security emergency spending package in the Senate will depend on support from the center of both political parties, but given the animus on the right, even 10 or 15 GOP votes might prove difficult.
