Border Talks: Dead or Alive?

Senate Democrats claim that border negotiations have collapsed as Republicans are demanding policies that would effectively close the border and eliminate asylum for those with valid claims, which Democrats refuse to accept. However, Republicans argue that talks are ongoing and they are still exchanging proposals. The negotiations face challenges in the House, where Republicans are resistant to Ukraine funding and demand stricter border policies. The impasse may lead to a vote on a $106 billion supplemental package this week, with Republicans prepared to filibuster if a border deal is not reached. The Biden administration warns that time is running out for Ukraine, urging congressional action before the end of the year.
