EXCLUSIVE: The White House on Tuesday said the bipartisan Senate border bill provides "a moment of truth for House Republicans," declaring that the way in which GOP lawmakers vote will "define the legacy of their narrow majority" in Congress. The border security component also includes ending "catch and release," increasing standards for asylum screenings and attempting to process asylum claims quicker. "The bipartisan border security deal is the toughest, fairest, and most significant border security legislation in decades," Bates wrote in the memo, saying it has gained support from the Border Patrol Union, the Chamber of Commerce and more. "This is a moment of truth for House Republicans," Bates wrote. "Let me be clear: The Senate Border Bill will NOT receive a vote in the House," Scalise wrote on X.
