US Republicans push to expand Trump's border wall

Description

Republican lawmakers pass an immigration package that would restart stalled construction of Donald Trump's southern border wall as the United States braces for a sudden increase in migrant crossings from Mexico. The Secure the Border Act of 2023, which advanced from the Republican-led House of Representatives on a roughly party-line 219-213 vote, would reintroduce several signature Trump-era measures, from completing the wall to bolstering asylum restrictions.
