The House passed a sweeping border package that GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said was the “strongest” legislation on the issue to ever come to the House floor for a vote.
The package is a combination of bills that began mostly in the House Homeland Security and Judiciary Committees.
Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan specifically thanked his top immigration aide in a floor speech ahead of the bill’s vote.Loving, the committee’s chief counsel on immigration, has worked on Capitol Hill through four presidential administrations. One of the original authors of the border package, Rep. Tom McClintock , described her as the “single most important person in crafting” it.
Emmer credited Rep. Chip Roy with his “big role” in uniting the conference once the legislation had been packaged.
