Republicans plan Senate floor 'fireworks' over surge at U.S.-Mexico border

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans plan to take their opposition to President Joe Biden's border policies to the U.S. Senate floor on Wednesday, attempting to move legislation that promises to tie up the chamber for hours, a source familiar with the matter said.

At least five Senate Republicans are expected to seek unanimous consent for a series of measures targeting Biden's decision to reverse the border policies of former President Donald Trump, including a resolution labeling the current border situation a "crisis."

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the actions could lead to some rhetorical "fireworks" on the Senate floor if Democrats block the measures, as expected. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office was not immediately available to comment on Democratic plans.

The anticipated actions are part of a mounting effort by Republicans in the Senate and the House of Representatives to pressure Biden and his fellow Democrats over a new flood of migrants, including unaccompanied children, to the U.S.-Mexico border. Republicans see an opportunity to retaliate against Democrats, who sharply criticized Trump's border policies, ahead of the 2022 congressional elections.

2. That's all they've got since the republcan insurrection, Biden's passing of the relief bill...

and his successful rollout of the vaccines. It's just a distraction from the colossal mess trump left the country in.

Like Biden after just two months in office is supposed to have already solved the mess at the border trump took four years to blow up.
