The Senate will take another vote Thursday on border security and immigration legislation that Republicans blocked in February when it was part of a larger package that also included aid to Israel and Ukraine, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said Monday.
Republicans quickly panned the idea, however, with the House speaker saying it would be dead on arrival if approved.
“All those who say we need to act on the border will get a chance this week to show they’re serious about fixing the problem,” Schumer said in announcing he would file cloture to set up a vote before the Senate takes a Memorial Day recess week.
