A Republican Senator is working with Democrats to draft a bipartisan border security bill for 2025, potentially replacing a reconciliation bill focused on massive funding for border enforcement.
At least one GOP Senator is working with pro-migration Democrats to draft a border bill for 2025, a report in Axios.com detailed Thursday. Oklahoma Republican Markwayne Mullin told the outlet his “serious” project could replace the fast-track reconciliation bill that is now expected to massively fund border security and enforcement in early 2025. “If we can do border separately — without reconciliation — then okay with” a single reconciliation bill for tax cuts, Mullin said.
Several pro-migration Democratic Senators are working with Mullin. They include Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), according to Axios.
