House Democrats are intensifying their efforts on immigration reform, urging candidates in swing districts to proactively address the issue, while also pushing for executive action from President Biden. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has proposed a rule aimed at expediting the deportation of asylum-seekers deemed a public or national security risk. This move has garnered support from several Democratic representatives who view it as a positive, yet insufficient, step towards addressing border security concerns. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is attempting to revive a bipartisan border security deal previously blocked by Republicans 93 days ago. On the other side, Republicans criticize the administration for not doing enough to secure the border, pointing to the stalled Secure The Border Act, HR 2, which has been sitting in the Senate for a year without a vote.
One year ago today @HouseGOP passed HR 2, the Secure The Border Act. A lot can happen in a year… Except Chuck Schumer allowing the Senate to vote on the strongest border bill in history.

It’s been 94 days since Donald Trump and the Republicans blocked the strongest, most comprehensive border security bill in a generation. And they still don’t have any plan except exploiting the border for Trump’s political gain.
The House passed the Secure the Border Act on May 11, 2023. REAL border security has been sitting on Senator Schumer’s desk for 365 days. The border crisis is on purpose. https://t.co/03uVd44lzB
One year ago today, the House GOP passed H.R. 2. It’s been sitting on Chuck Schumer’s desk ever since. Democrats refuse to do anything about the border invasion Biden created because it’s exactly what they want. https://t.co/PK8dx8vZat
My joint statement with @SteveScalise, @GOPMajorityWhip, and @RepStefanik on the Anniversary of Passage of H.R.2: Over the past three and a half years, President Biden has ceded operational control of the southern border to drug cartels and has welcomed untold millions of…
Americans waiting for Chuck Schumer to allow a vote on HR2 (Secure the Border Act) to undo @POTUS’ mess, one year after it passed the House. https://t.co/mQsaOttjiq
FACT 1: @POTUS created our border crisis with 60+ executive orders FACT 2: one year ago TODAY, @HouseGOP passed HR2 to end his mess FACT 3: @SenSchumer has sat on HR2 for one full year & refuses to pass ANY House border bill including those passed with bipartisan vote
After making 60 reckless policy changes that opened our border to criminals, gang members, drug smugglers & even terrorists, this one rule change is hardly enough. @POTUS should reverse all his disastrous border policies. If not, @SenSchumer should pass @HouseGOP’s HR2 to force… https://t.co/ROvdM8n9fj
Since the fall of Title 42, I have repeatedly urged the Administration to address the border crisis, and this announcement is a needed step to help relieve the pressure on our frontline border communities and swiftly remove those who pose a threat to Arizonans’ safety. https://t.co/vDUl2I8BNA
The President's proposed rule changes at our Southern Border are simply not enough. He needs to utilize his full authority – and Congress needs to pass bipartisan legislation to fix this crisis. Today, my colleagues and I are urging him to do more. https://t.co/B9Wln1XUqa

This proposed change in asylum policy would remove individuals that pose a national security or public safety risk more quickly. I've called on @POTUS to take executive action on the border, and this is a step in the right direction—but we must do more. https://t.co/vN14Yc4ugw
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has unveiled a proposed rule that would allow DHS to more quickly determine whether certain asylum-seekers pose a public or national security risk and, if so, deport them. https://t.co/HiTzV0idsa https://t.co/xN1QmUOH3R
House Democrats' campaign arm is urging candidates in swing districts to take the offense on immigration, arguing republicans don't want to solve the problems at the border. Comes as schumer wants to bring back up the bipartisan border deal in the Senate> https://t.co/DlxYemNPAZ
Vulnerable House Democrats try to enhance their border bona fides, by calling on the President to take executive action. My take: https://t.co/0B1zp3rjG0
