Top Biden officials are pushing Democrats to accept a deal on immigration
President Joe Biden wants Congress to approve more than $75 billion in new spending to bolster Israel and Ukraine’s war efforts, and the price some lawmakers want for their support is significant changes to immigration laws they say could stem the record surge of migrants crossing the southern U.S. border.
Among the provisions in H.R. 2 that would be nonstarters for Democrats, and even some Republicans, including mandating that all employers use the e-Verify system to determine whether a hire is legally eligible to work in the U.S. The Republican bill included changes to asylum law that Anderson said would virtually eliminate the ability for anyone to claim asylum, a move that could run afoul of both U.S. treaty commitments and the Constitution, which provides due process protections for both citizens and noncitizens. Such changes would also be unacceptable to Democrats.
Whether there is a proposal that can garner support from both Democrats and the right wing of the Republican party is another matter. Changing border dynamics “Ten years ago the majority of people who were apprehended at the border were young males traveling by themselves primarily coming for work,” he said. “Now with the breakdown of various governments in Central America, Haiti, Cuba and Venezuela you see families coming, fleeing just desperate situations and that has changed the dynamic of people trying to cross into the United States.
