House GOP Pass Immigration Bill, Biden Vows to Veto

(11 May 2023) House Republicans passed a sweeping bill Thursday to build more U.S.-Mexico border wall and impose new restrictions on asylum seekers, creating a hard-line counter to President Joe Biden's policies just as migrants are amassing along the border with the end of coronavirus pandemic restrictions. (May 11)

We can’t even figure out how to take care of the people who exist on the system now, how is adding more people we have to pay for a consideration by either party?

El Pasoan here, the people coming in are not even Mexicans, they're all Venezuelans Cubans and Ecuadorians according to Mexican officials and border patrol accounts, saying they're all coming from these three places the most which Juarenios are also tired of seeing. Their offered jobs in Juarez Mexico and the entirety of Mexico but apparently the illegal migrants rejected them because they said it's better to receive donations than work in Mexico which annoyed me. Trust me us Hispanics are annoyed because we can't travel to Juarez Mexico anymore because of these people.

You know how difficult it is for the people of Europe or Asia to immigrate legally to the United States? While at the same time they keep granting asylum and letting in illegals from the southern boarder in (not just Mexicans). Make illegal immigration harder and legal easier, that should be the goal.

I'm more than a little sick of both Corporate Parties pointing at each other, & blaming the other for getting nothing done. Except for war. They agree on war. There's always plenty of money, & will for more war👿

And so Does Congress. Nothing like talking something to death.

I want to read the entire text of the bill before making a decision.

I'm just surprised anything gets passed these days.

Do not give a dime not a penny to fund anything until he signs a bill.

Report what's in the bill or you're failing to be a reputable news source

[jeffbarron]

Both sides knew the deadline and how long they could drag it along before, it burst into flame. Funny congress is always in the home stretch

[mikerundell]

Why isn't Congress doing more than passing one bill

[MG-ygsp]

And this is why Joe Biden has an approval rating in the '30s

Raise your hand if you are still a biden supporter. Where you guys at?

[muhammadsaeed-pwvz]

What is the text of the bill? If the bill curbs the illegal immigration and bring out those in shadows serving the country paying taxes obeying the law and following proper path to get legal status by meeting all requirements the bill must be passed in both houses and be signed by the president. Law abiding immigrants must be given some relief and way forward to get legal status

The biggest challenge is, who prints our money. The higher the debt, the more sovereignty, from us the bankers demand.

[noahtaylor]

The president doesn't make law, That's congress's job.

I’m glad it was passed and I’m a legal American with Mexican parents
