"Latino Democrats criticize Biden's border and Ukraine concessions, Senate Democrats clash over talks, Congress weighs immigration changes for Ukraine funding, Schumer promises vote on aid package, House recesses with unfinished to-do list"
Latino Democrats in the Senate, including Sen. Alex Padilla and Sen. Ben Ray Luján, have expressed opposition to President Biden's concessions in border security talks, arguing that a return to Trump-era policies will worsen the immigration problem. They have raised concerns about the lack of consideration for pro-immigration reforms, such as pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants and protections for "Dreamers." The negotiations come as the Biden administration faces criticism from both Republicans and members of his own party over its handling of border and immigration issues. The issue is further complicated as Biden seeks a border deal as part of his Ukraine aid package, and the Latino senators warn that these concessions could have lasting impacts on Biden's support from Latino voters.
