Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Signals Retreat From Border Bill

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to hold a procedural vote on a bipartisan border security bill, but it has been rejected by several top Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Some Republicans criticize the bill, claiming it accepts too many illegal immigrants and asylum recipients, while others see it as a solution to long-term issues and loopholes in the asylum law.
