"Biden-Harris Administration Urges Immediate Passage of Bipartisan National Security Agreement to Address Border Challenges"

The Biden-Harris Administration is urging Congress to pass a bipartisan national security agreement that addresses border security, immigration reform, and national security interests. The agreement includes provisions for temporary emergency authority to shut down the border, expedited work authorization for migrants, a more efficient asylum process, funding for combating smuggling and drug trafficking, and increased lawful pathways to the United States. It also strengthens federal law against fentanyl trafficking, provides military aid to Ukraine and Israel, and includes humanitarian aid funding for civilians in need globally.
