"U.S. Border Patrol Union Endorses Bipartisan Immigration Deal Despite Conservative Opposition"

The National Border Patrol Council, representing over 18,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents, endorsed the bipartisan Senate immigration deal, despite conservative backlash. The union believes the bill will reduce illegal border crossings and improve agents' ability to apprehend border crossers. However, the legislation faces opposition from House Republicans, with House Speaker Mike Johnson calling it a "waste of time." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell praised the bill's negotiator, Sen. James Lankford, but several Republican senators have already expressed opposition. The Senate is set to vote on the bill as part of a national security supplemental package.
