(AP Photo\/Julio Cortez)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:46 AM PT \u2013 Friday, March 19, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>It\u2019s been less than three months into the Biden administration and an immigration crisis appears to be in full swing. Hundreds of migrants, most of them children, are seeking asylum everyday.<\/p>\n<p>This has put a strain on the U.S. immigration system. The race for a solution has led lawmakers to huddle and produce two very different approaches. Republicans have insisted the number one priority is border security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re getting ready to introduce legislation to make sure we\u2019re using USCIS to check voter rolls here in this country, but we\u2019re trying to make sure that we clamp down on the border,\u201d&nbsp; stated Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas).<\/p>\n<p>The Texas representative along with some of his GOP colleagues are working on new legislation they said will close immigration loopholes. Another bill they plan to reintroduce would designate cartels as terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In January, President Trump said: \u201cIf our border security measures are reversed, it will trigger a tidal wave of illegal immigration\u2014a wave like you\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was right.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jim_Jordan\/status\/1372701460153126915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s also a bipartisan bill that seeks to build more roads along the border to make it easier for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to secure the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to solve the crisis, you need infrastructure,\u201d Roy stated. \u201cYou need a wall, you need the bill that I just introduced with Henry Cuellar, a Democrat my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, most Democrats in Congress are pushing amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants and have approved two such bills in the House. One focuses on so-called Dreamers while the other focuses on migrant farm workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis personal to me,\u201d said Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.). \u201cMany of these immigrants, be it Dreamers or farm workers, come to this country to live the American dream\u2026come to ensure that their kids have a better way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>House Democrats argued their legislation will help immigrant communities, but Republicans warned it would only encourage more illegal immigration at a time when federal resources are spread thin and Americans are reeling from the economic impacts of a pandemic.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/surge-of-unaccompanied-minors-at-risk-for-human-trafficking\/\"> Surge of unaccompanied minors at risk for human trafficking<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Migrants who were caught trying to sneak into the United States are led by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent, second from right, at the McAllen-Hidalgo International Bridge while &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2275735,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2275735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
