Deep dives
Border security deal negotiations
A bipartisan group of negotiators is working on a deal regarding border security. While the full text has not been released, the bill would grant President Biden new emergency authority to shut down the border when overwhelmed. The deal aims to address the increase in apprehensions at the border, the backlog of immigration court cases, and the rise in encounters with unaccompanied children. Biden's approval rating on immigration is low, and negotiators are attempting to find a bipartisan solution that ties the border deal to aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
