Overview of the Border Deal
Senate negotiators have revealed a comprehensive border deal that covers national security emergencies and includes foreign aid funding. The $118 billion package provides funding for Ukraine, Israel, and addressing China's growing reach, as well as $20 billion for changes to the US migration system. The bill aims to close asylum process loopholes, fund judges and border patrol agents, limit parole for migrants, and grant the president authority to shut down the border when attempted crossings are too high. However, the bill's future looks uncertain, as House Speaker Mike Johnson has declared it dead on arrival, and former President Donald Trump has criticized it.
