Biden's Border Security Strategy and Foreign Aid Standoff

President Biden's inclusion of a request for more money to help with border security in his aid request to Congress for Ukraine and Israel has backfired, as it has ignited demands from Republicans for broad changes to border policy. This has left Biden in a difficult position, as he must decide how much to engage in negotiations and how far to give in to conservative demands to restrict the number of migrants admitted to the US. The impasse has also jeopardized aid for Ukraine, a top foreign policy priority for Biden. Both sides are calling attention to the migration crisis at the southwest border, further complicating the situation.
