House Republicans say reconciliation, border and housing votes are imminent
Summary
A House lawmaker said Republicans expect to finish reconciliation by a June 1 deadline, plan to include funding for immigration enforcement and border security in that package, and will vote separately on a bipartisan housing bill "tomorrow" to expand supply and lower costs.
A House lawmaker told members the chamber faces a consequential week, saying Republicans are "still on track" to complete the reconciliation process by the June 1 deadline the party set. The speaker said the reconciliation package will include full funding for immigration enforcement and border security and that the House will process the measure as soon as it is completed in the Senate, with an expectation it could arrive by Thursday.
Separately, the lawmaker said the House would vote the following day on a bipartisan housing package he described as aimed at lowering housing costs, increasing supply and making it easier for local banks to deploy capital in their communities. He called the housing package "a big thing for the people" and said it received bipartisan support during drafting.
The lawmaker cautioned that the exact form of the reconciliation bill was still being worked through parliamentary and committee processes and that timing depended on that work. He framed the votes as part of a broader GOP effort to deliver policy outcomes and contrasted Republican priorities on border enforcement with Democratic opposition, as presented to members.
