Senate Unveils Bipartisan $118 Billion Border Deal and Foreign Aid Package for Ukraine and Israel
TL;DR
Senators unveiled a border deal and foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel, including significant restrictions on illegal migrant crossings at the southern border and billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine, Israel, and other US allies. The legislation faces opposition from House Republicans and former President Trump, with House Speaker Mike Johnson declaring the deal "dead on arrival." The Senate is set to hold a key vote on the package, which also includes measures to speed up the asylum process and restrict asylum at the US-Mexico border, with uncertainty surrounding its passage and potential separation of aid from border and immigration measures.
