"Border Politics: Trump, Biden, and the Bipartisan Senate Deal"

Former President Donald Trump is falsely claiming to have stopped all movement between the US and Mexico in an attempt to derail a bipartisan proposal aimed at increasing President Joe Biden’s authority to curb illegal crossings. Trump and his GOP allies are opposing the bill, which would potentially prevent him from using the entry of non-white migrants into the US as an election-year issue. The White House has criticized the GOP's flip-flop on the need for presidential authority to stem migration along the US-Mexico border, pointing to previous statements from Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump himself supporting congressional action on immigration.
