Several top House Republicans on July 29 introduced a bill that targets security along the U.S.–Mexico border amid worsening numbers under President Joe Biden.

The bill, known as the Border Security Act, was signed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), and other conference Republicans.
