The border security bill introduced by Republican leaders in the House was quickly met with criticism from hardliners within the party, who slammed it for not going far enough and said it was a weak effort to appease them for moving forward with a separate foreign aid bill.
"That is a joke," Republican Representative Bob Good, the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, told reporters when talking about the bill. "It's the shiny object for Republicans that are saying we got to do something for the border," added Marjorie Taylor Greene.
