The Republicans have insisted that any spending for Israel and the Ukraine HAD to have immigration reform…
So?
President Biden indicated that he would build more border walls…
NOT Enough….
Senate Republicans and Democrats sat down and began working on some sort of ‘reform’….
Now?
THAT is NOT Enough….
Back when Joe Biden was the Vice President?
His boss, President Obama in belief that he would have Republicans be serious about ‘reform’?

The lead Democrat in the Senate border negotiations warned Monday that those discussions have fallen apart, endangering a major part of President Joe Biden’s foreign policy agenda.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said in an interview that in exchange for signing off on Ukraine aid, Republicans are insisting on policies that would “essentially close the border” and eliminate asylum for people with meritorious claims. Both of those provisions, he said, are nonstarters for Democrats.
Democrats have previously indicated that they were willing to tighten up the standards under which migrants can claim asylum. Murphy said they’ve also had “very good discussions around” changing some parole policies, another potential Democratic concession that would likely anger progressives.

Even if senators were able to hammer out a supplemental deal with significant border concessions, the package would still face a steep climb in the House. Republicans in that chamber, many of whom are resistant to Ukraine money, have demanded even more restrictive border policy measures. That means Democrats would have to offer up significant support to get a bill over the finish line, if a vote is held at all.
Lankford disputed Murphy’s assertion that Republicans are demanding policies that would result in a “shutdown” of the border. He said that the GOP believes it is imperative to address the record number of migrants crossing into the United States through Mexico….
