GOP will force Senate Dems to block border wall, migrant crime bills

• Britt will try to pass two bills through unanimous consent: One that would provide billions of dollars to build the border wall and another that would detain migrants arrested for theft.
• The second bill —named the Laken Riley Act after a nursing student killed by an immigrant early this year — was cosponsored by Democrats' most vulnerable senator, Jon Tester (Mont.).
• Just one Democrat can tank the bills' passage.

The big picture: Britt's moves are part of a broader GOP effort this week to draw attention to issues where Harris has flip-flopped as well as fight back against the series of "show votes" Schumer has forced Republicans to take — including on the border.

• Harris has backed off key policy stances from her 2020 presidential run, including her support for decriminalizing illegal border crossings, a ban on fracking and mandatory buy-back programs for assault weapons.

What they're saying: "Vice President Harris now says she has changed policy positions on some of our country's most pressing issues," Britt said in a statement.

• "Let's see if her own party believes her claims, or whether they'll defend the radical policy positions Vice President Harris has long held and the Biden-Harris Administration has imposed for these painful past few years."
