Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 626) to advance commonsense policy priorities.

H.Res. 1027 is a procedural resolution designed to force a House vote on a bipartisan legislative package known as the "Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act" (H.R. 626). Because the main bill had not been brought to the floor by House leadership, this resolution uses a "discharge petition" to bypass the standard committee process and mandate a full debate.

If successful, the underlying bill would implement several major policy changes:

Border Security:* It would reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy for one year, requiring many asylum seekers to stay outside the U.S. while their cases are processed, and would grant the government temporary authority to suspend entry at the border to maintain operational control.

International Aid:* It would provide approximately $66 billion in defense-only funding to support military operations and security for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

* For citizens, this measure aims to address concerns over border crossings and national security while continuing U.S. military support for key global allies.
