Senate Republicans killed a bipartisan border bill that would have essentially helped shut down the border earlier this year. Now, as border apprehensions reach a new low, and with President-elect Donald Trump setting to reenter the White House in just a few weeks, a small group of bipartisan senators are trying to give a border deal a second chance.
Republicans have stated their desire to move quickly on a border package, using the budget reconciliation process to get it done. But as GOP infighting continues, and Republicans have a razor-thin majority in the upper chamber of Congress, they will need support from Democrats to breeze through their proposals.
