"Border Politics: Biden's Pledge and Trump's Plot"

President Biden's shift on immigration includes seeking new powers from Congress to "shut down" the border, aligning with a bipartisan deal that pairs border powers with military aid for Ukraine and Israel. This move reflects a political shift as Democrats distance themselves from a pathway to legal status for undocumented immigrants, while Republicans, led by Trump, aim to keep the border crisis a campaign issue. The proposed deal includes additional border agents, immigration judges, asylum officers, and inspection machines, but faces opposition from both parties. Despite public disapproval of Biden's handling of the border, Americans remain broadly supportive of immigration.
