Senate Republicans and Democrats are on the cusp of striking a potential deal on border control legislation.
However, President Joe Biden’s recent statement that he will sign the bill if it includes funding for Ukraine and Israel has sparked controversy within the Republican party. Led by former President Donald Trump, some Republicans are now questioning the deal, leading to an internal clash among party members. For months, Republicans have been vocal about their demand for tighter immigration policies. President Biden, aiming to please both sides, has promised to shut down the border if Congress passes the bipartisan immigration deal currently on the table. In a twist, however, Trump is exerting pressure on Republicans to oppose the compromise bill, intending to make immigration a key issue in a potential rematch with Biden in the future.
