Border security bill in jeopardy as House Republicans lack votes.

Several House Republicans are expected to vote against a border security package that includes legislation proposed by Rep. Chip Roy (Tex.) that would temporarily halt migrants’ legal right to asylum if any port of entry becomes overwhelmed. The opposition to Roy’s legislation has swelled since the Judiciary Committee released the bill’s text Monday, after weeks of delays. Provisions related to e-verification for workers, temporary visa updates and debates over restricting access to “parole” for certain noncitizens have irritated Republicans who represent districts with large Hispanic and agricultural communities.
