Bipartisan consensus: A deal is emerging in the Senate, supported by both Republicans and Democrats, that would reduce the number of migrants granted asylum and beef up immigration enforcement. Republicans have stipulated that a border-securing package be agreed to for Democrats to get additional Ukraine funding passed. More proof that whenever both parties agree on something, the resulting policy tends to be suboptimal from a libertarian standpoint. "It will be, by far, the most conservative border security bill in four decades," Sen. James Lankford (R–Okla.) told NBC News.
The bill will most likely restrict the president's ability to admit asylum-seekers via what's called "parole."
