Biden would veto GOP’s border security bill: ‘Make things worse’
Fox News
The White House announced Monday that President Biden would veto a GOP-led border security bill it described as "inconsistent with our Nation’s values."
Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The bill, sponsored by Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and Tom McClintock, R.-Calif., would require renewed efforts to build a border wall, more border patrol agents and more financial incentives for them to do their job, an end to catch and release policies and other initiatives intended to better manage mass migration at the southern border.
Biden's promise to veto comes as the so-called "Title 42" policies are set to expire on Thursday – they allow border officials to more easily keep immigrants out of the country as a way to prevent the spread of COVID. The president will send 1,500 troops to the border to counter an anticipated flux of migrants.
