Congressional Hispanic Caucus leaders criticized President Joe Biden on Monday for considering tighter restrictions at the southern border to win GOP support for Ukraine aid.
With only a week to go before Congress is scheduled to adjourn for the year, the administration is stepping up its involvement in bipartisan talks aimed at reaching a border security compromise that could unlock emergency aid to Ukraine, Israel and more.
Biden said last week he was “willing to make significant compromises on the border.” Those could include new restrictions on who can seek asylum, along with an expedited deportation process, according to reports.
