President Biden is signaling that he is prepared to make significant border security concessions to secure a bill that provides funding for Ukraine and Israel. Among the factors being considered include raising criteria for asylum seekers, policy enabling swift expulsion of migrants at the border, and expanding detention capacity.
An advocate for tougher border security, Congresswoman Victoria Sparks illustrated the concern, stating that over 90% of asylum claims are legitimate. She believes that rising standards would help secure the border by providing Border Patrol with additional tools.
