House Republicans are planning to renew a push this week to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws and tighten security at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Majority Leader Steve Scalise announced the move at a press conference on Monday to mark the House GOP’s first 100 days in power.
Overall, the package is a combination of eight other pieces of immigration legislation that have been circulated by various Republican lawmakers. It would authorize the Department of Homeland Security to block any foreign national from entering the country if it is “necessary in order to achieve operational control over” the U.S. border.
“We know that if the United States fails to control our borders, the drug cartels will,” said Rep. Laurel Lee, Florida Republican.
