Details of the Border Bill
The US Senate has unveiled a $118 billion border bill, with only a portion of the funds going towards border security. The bill allocates $60 billion to unrelated causes, $14 billion to Israel, $2.4 billion for operations in the Red Sea, and nearly $5 billion for US allies countering Chinese aggression. Out of the $20 billion allotted for border security, $650 million is dedicated to the border wall and tighter rules on claiming asylum. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is hopeful for its passage, but Speaker Mike Johnson referred to it as 'dead on arrival' in the House.
