Senate's Border Reform Bill Faces Challenges

The Senate's newly unveiled $188 billion National Security Deal, aimed at providing aid to crane, Israel, and Palestinians, as well as U.S. border security funding and reform, is facing opposition. Democrats in the House Hispanic caucus object to the bill's border reform measures and its omission of a pathway to citizenship for dreamers. Former President Trump also criticizes the bill, calling it insufficient and advocating for it to be separated from foreign aid. Speaker Johnson plans to vote on aid for Israel separately.
