Border-Security Bills Pass Amid Title 42 Expiration and Political Debate.

The House passed a Republican-written bill aimed at restricting the flow of migrants across the border by investing in personnel and equipment, making it harder to seek asylum, and codifying Trump-era policies such as resuming construction of a southern border wall. The vote was 219-213, largely along party lines. This comes as Title 42, which allowed U.S. authorities to quickly expel migrants on public health grounds, expired on May 11.
