GOP sens call on Schumer, Dems to take up border bills as they tout immigration vigilance

Republican senators took to the Senate floor on Wednesday and called on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to bring several pieces of border legislation for votes in the chamber as Vice President Kamala Harris and vulnerable Democrats across the country make commitments to supporting border security.

Led by Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., the group planned to ask that a number of strict bills regarding the border, immigration, and cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) be considered, including the Laken Riley Act and the WALL Act, according to remarks provided by Britt’s office.

“Vice President Harris now says she has changed policy positions on some of our country’s most pressing issues,” read Britt’s prepared floor remarks, which she gave prior to making unanimous consent requests to advance the bills. “Let’s see if her own party believes her claims, or whether they’ll defend the radical policy positions Vice President Harris has long held and the Biden-Harris Administration has imposed for these painful past few years.”
