WASHINGTON, Sept 20 — Republicans in the US House of Representatives will unveil plans this week to support the US energy industry, fight crime and combat illegal immigration as they seek to gain the upper hand in the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
The plan will propose increasing US energy production to address high gas prices, boosting funding to hire more police and reimposing Trump-era border restrictions to stem the flow of migrants coming from Mexico, lawmakers said. They will unveil it on Friday in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, a small city in a deep red congressional district outside Pittsburgh.
With Democrats still in control of the White House and control of the Senate up for grabs as well as Nov. 8, the parties would need to work together to pass meaningful legislation. Democrats dismissed the plan, saying it ignores serious voter concerns about abortion rights and the state of American democracy, issues that aided Democratic victories in recent special House elections in New York and Alaska and helped block abortion restrictions in Kansas. .
“We’re going to show the country how to do this,” Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, told reporters. “Then, if we get a majority, we will have a mandate to do those things.”
