TL;DR Summary

The Biden administration is working to reach a last-minute deal with Senate Republicans on providing aid to Ukraine by agreeing to bolster U.S.-Mexico border policies. The urgency comes as Congress prepares to depart Washington without resolving the impasse. The proposed policies include allowing Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum if the number of crossings exceeds capacity, detaining people claiming asylum at the border, and quickly removing migrants who have been in the U.S. for less than two years. Advocates for immigrants and some Democrats have expressed concerns about the return of hardline border and immigration policies.
