Leading House Republicans dismissed the Senate stopgap measure out of hand, saying any short-term funding measure to pass Congress with their approval must address the flow of migrants across the U.S. border with Mexico.
"The Senate bill really just continues to fund Biden's open border plan.
The country wants to address the open border.
We need to address the open border," said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the chamber's No.
McCarthy said House Republicans would probably bring their own stopgap measure to the floor on Friday.
