Senate Republicans have released a sweeping set of U.S. border security proposals as a condition for sending more aid to Ukraine, laying out a draft plan to resume construction on parts of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, curtail humanitarian parole for people who cross into the United States, and make it more difficult for migrants to qualify for asylum.
"We don't want to miss the opportunity to deal with one of our problems that won't cost much of anything," McConnell said. "At the same time, I don't think that will prevent us from doing what we need to do." But finding agreement on the border will be difficult, and could easily hold up further Ukraine aid, as immigration has been one of the most intractable issues in Congress for decades. Republicans are hoping that Democrats will feel political pressure to accept some of their border proposals as illegal crossings topped a daily average of more than 8,000 last month and as Biden, who is up for reelection next year, has struggled to manage an increasing number of migrants.
Kerri Talbot, executive director of the Immigration Hub, said in a statement, "At a time when we need concrete actions and solutions to address the challenges of global migration, the senators have offered a redundant set of recommendations that are cruel, impractical, and dead on arrival."
