"Border Funding and Immigrant Rights: The Bipartisan Battle for Aid to Ukraine"
A bipartisan plan to trade immigrant rights for military assistance to Ukraine is facing opposition from both Democrats and Republicans. The plan, which would attach a border enforcement component to President Biden's supplemental funding request, has been criticized for holding aid to Israel and Ukraine hostage to solve a domestic issue. The negotiations, led by a group of four senators, have excluded Hispanic Caucus senators, causing further discontent. The proposed changes to asylum rights and border security have raised concerns among both right-wing groups and migrant rights advocates. The fate of the bill remains uncertain, with questions about whether Republicans will agree to fund Ukraine if Democrats agree to further restrict migrant rights.
