"US Immigration Policy: Potential Changes, Asylum Reactions, and Border Security Compromises"

Congress is discussing changes to the US immigration system in exchange for providing funding to Ukraine and Israel. President Joe Biden is willing to make compromises on border policy to meet Republican demands. Some proposed changes include tightening asylum standards, restricting the use of humanitarian parole, and expanding expedited removal. Republicans argue that these changes are necessary to address the security threat posed by record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border. However, immigration advocates argue that these changes would harm vulnerable individuals and not effectively address the border situation.
