"Biden Urges Congress for Border Bill Amid GOP Standoff"

During his State of the Union address, President Biden urged Republican lawmakers to pass a bipartisan immigration compromise that stalled last month, criticizing them for derailing the proposal for political reasons. The proposal would tighten asylum rules, expand legal immigration levels, and provide additional funding for border operations. Biden accused his predecessor, Donald Trump, of influencing Republicans to oppose the bill. The president's comments drew heckles from Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, prompting him to express condolences to the family of a Georgia nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant. Biden's administration has faced record levels of migration and criticism on immigration, with the president seeking to embrace tougher border policies while drawing distinctions from Trump.
