Republicans Battle Themselves on Illegal Immigration
House Republicans are reviving a bill that aims to address the issue of family separation at the border, but some Republicans are concerned that it will be seen as amnesty for illegal immigrants. The Hill noted that this is the second attempt by the GOP to pass a border bill, as the first one failed to gain enough support. As always, there are differing opinions among Republicans, with some members calling for stricter border security measures and others pushing for a more comprehensive approach that includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

The most vocal Republican opponents are Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). The Hill reported:

Roy and Gonzales have taken public swipes at each other over the one firm proposal introduced by Republicans to address the border.

Roy contends that the border restrictions proposed in his bill simply amount to enforcement of existing laws, and do not restrict asylum.

“My bill is pretty simple in that you shouldn’t be releasing people into the United States. You got to detain or turn away or use Migrant Protection Protocols in order to stop the flood,” Roy said.

Gonzales says Roy’s proposal, H.R. 29, would gut the asylum system while failing to resolve border security issues.
