GOP senators rally against bipartisan border deal, citing Biden’s power to suspend ‘emergency’ bill
Fox News
GOP senators strongly oppose the bipartisan border bill, citing concerns about its efficacy and the potential for Secretary Mayorkas to grant asylum without immigration court review.
The legislation will need a 60-vote threshold to pass, and Republican lawmakers urged leaders to give them more time to offer amendments. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said last week the Senate could begin voting on it as soon as Wednesday. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

"Senate GOP leadership screwed this up—and screwed us. Even while refusing to let us see the bill they claimed to be negotiating on our behalf—for MONTHS—they were never in doubt, insisting we’d be dumb and even unpatriotic NOT to support it. This is a disqualifying betrayal," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted to X.
