"Senator Urges Negotiators to Address Southern Border Crisis and Strike Immigration Deal"
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, a Democrat, has raised concerns about the escalating influx of illegal immigrants at the southern border, urging negotiators to strike a deal on a border framework to be included in the national supplemental aid package. Warner highlighted the record-breaking number of over 12,000 migrants encountered in a single day and emphasized the need for bipartisan action on border security measures. Talks have been ongoing between senators and the Biden administration, with Republicans insisting on strict border security measures tied to additional aid for Ukraine. Negotiations are now postponed until January, as Congress failed to reach an agreement before the holiday recess.
