Deep dives

Senate immigration bill includes more funding for Ukraine than border security

The much anticipated Senate immigration bill includes more money for Ukraine than border security. The bill includes $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, and $20 billion for the southern border.

The bill would also implement a temporary border shutdown if illegal entries reach certain levels.
