AUSTIN, Texas — The House GOP is extremely wary about including Democratic proposals, such as a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, in any bill aimed at responding to the border crisis, according to a Texas Republican involved in strategy discussions.

Rep. Brian Babin told a gathering of conservative policymakers Friday that Republicans want to avoid being forced into a “grand bargain” — obtaining money for border security in return for amnesty — as former President Ronald Reagan agreed to in the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy promised last November that resolving the border crisis would be the chamber’s top priority come January. Two months later, the GOP has yet to pass any related legislation. House GOP leadership attempted to use a House Freedom Caucus member's Border Safety and Security Act of 2023 as the vehicle to tackle the border. HR 29 was reintroduced this session by immigration stalwart Rep. Chip Roy , the Freedom Caucus’s policy chairman.
