House to Debate Anti-Immigrant Bills Providing $25B to Militarize Border
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said he'll allow
debate today on a pair of sweeping anti-immigrant bills that would
severely restrict the number of visas granted to immigrants, while
providing an additional $25 billion to further militarize the
U.S.-Mexico border. The bills appear to be dead on arrival after North
Carolina Republican Mark Meadows got into a heated confrontation with
Paul Ryan over the measures-which many conservatives say don't go far
enough.
