Even though the terms of the bill emerged as an agreement between Democrats and Republicans, the regulations that would allow asylum in the United States to be temporarily prohibited and conditions to be toughened to request it could meet resistance in Congress. After it was officially presented, Republican sectors announced that they will not give their support even in the Senatewhere strong approval was expected.
The bill has already generated controversy and much debate since the first terms were publicly known. As a result of a legislative negotiation that involved both parties and that had the approval of President Joe Biden, the text was officially announced last Monday. If approved, The law would allow the federal authority to close the border with Mexico and temporarily prohibit asylum requests if a certain number of illegal entries is exceeded. In addition, it toughened the conditions for applicants in general, among other measures.
However, and as some legislators had already anticipated, Now Republican leaders assure that they will not support the proposal. This decision, which surprised many, is part of the political dispute between Biden and Donald Trump, the two top contenders to win the United States presidential elections.
Republicans will not support the project to prohibit asylum in the United States
After Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, who was in charge of the negotiations, supported the project on Monday, a closed-door party meeting changed everything, according to reports. NBCNews. Given the strong opposition that he encountered from other legislators and leaders of his party, McConnell told his colleagues at the meeting that they could vote against the bill if they felt like it..
Despite having been negotiated by both parties, the project could face Republican resistance in the United States Senate
This opposition would be promoted by Trump, who does not want to give Biden a political victory in an election year. This Wednesday, the project must reach sixty votes in favor to be able to advance in the legislative debate and if you do not do so, it will remain in that instance until that number is reached. However, even if it were to get approval in the Senate, something that seems difficult in the current scenario, it would then have to go to a vote in the House of Representatives, where many Republicans have already expressed their opposition.
