House Republicans will try to pass a bill addressing the border crisis next week with a pared-back price tag of less than $1 billion, according to multiple sources.
The mood in a Friday morning closed-door GOP meeting was mostly positive, and much of the strident opposition from conservatives that GOP aides and lawmakers expected did not materialize, according to sources present. Leadership is cautiously confident that a package will reach the floor next week before the chamber recesses for its August break.
