"Biden Vows Border Shutdown with New Authority Deal"

President Biden is urging Congress to pass a bipartisan bill addressing the immigration crisis at the southern border, vowing to shut down the border the day he signs it into law. The deal, which would provide emergency authority to shut down the border when overwhelmed, is tied to further assistance for Ukraine, but negotiations have been complicated by Republican demands for changes to immigration and border policies. Biden's statement reflects the urgency facing his administration to take action on the border, particularly during an election year.
