Title 42 immigration fight stalls mammoth $1.7 trillion spending bill in the Senate
Fox News
A fight over immigration policy stalled Senate consideration of a giant, $1.7 trillion spending bill Wednesday night, and left in doubt whether it could be passed this week.
One of those amendments was proposed by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to maintain the Title 42 policy under which millions of immigrants have been turned away at the border to limit the spread of COVID-19. That policy is expected to be phased out any day now, which has Republicans, border states and others worried that the immigration crisis could become even worse. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
Late Wednesday, Senate Republicans accused Democrats of refusing to allow a vote on Lee’s amendment and allowing it to be attached with a simple-majority vote. Lee said he thinks Democrats are worried it would pass under those conditions.
