They have a veto proof majority. It will breeze through the house and Trump will most likely pressure those in the Senate. Let's not forget that even if he loses 5 Republican senators they're are still 10 Democratic senators running for re-election in deep red States. Trump can simply persuade them to vote for any type of border enforcement if they plan on keeping their seats. It's definitely possible. Specially if Mitch McConnell goes nuclear. He is also up for re-election and so far it looks like he wont even last during the primary.
Alot is at stake here and I do believe President Trump will act one way or another. Don't underestimate him.
