The GOP's Next Anti-Migrant Manifesto

Revival of ‘Secure the Border Act’ signals Republican plans for hardline approach in the Republican-led 119th Congress.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are renewing their push for one of the most hardline immigration proposals in recent memory, as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) move to reintroduce H.R. 2, the “Secure the Border Act,” in the 119th Congress. The bill, which passed the House last year but stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate, would overhaul nearly every aspect of immigration enforcement, asylum policy, border infrastructure, and employment verification.
