US senators on Sunday evening released the details of a highly anticipated $118bn package that pairs federal enforcement policy on the US-Mexico border with wartime aid for Ukraine, Israel and others, launching a long-shot effort to push the bill past sceptical, hard right House Republicans \u2013 whom Democrats accuse of politicizing immigration while being in thrall to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal is the best chance for Joe Biden to bolster dwindling US wartime aid for Ukraine \u2013 a major foreign policy goal that is shared by both the Senate\u2019s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, and top Republican, Mitch McConnell. The Senate was expected this week to hold a key test vote on the legislation, but it faces a wall of opposition from conservatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe Biden urged the US Congress to pass the legislation, for the sake of immigration reform and aid for US allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill \u201cincludes the toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades,\u201d he said in a statement issued by the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: \u201cNow, House Republicans have to decide. Do they want to solve the problem? Or do they want to keep playing politics with the border? I\u2019ve made my decision. I\u2019m ready to solve the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, with Congress stalled on approving $60bn in Ukraine aid, the US has halted shipments of ammunition and missiles to Kyiv, leaving Ukrainian soldiers outgunned as they try to come out on top of a grinding stalemate with Russian troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe United States and our allies are facing multiple, complex and, in places, coordinated challenges from adversaries who seek to disrupt democracy and expand authoritarian influence around the globe,\u201d Schumer said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to overcome opposition from House Republicans, McConnell had insisted last year that border policy changes be included in the national security funding package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill would overhaul the asylum system at the border with faster and tougher enforcement, as well as give presidents new powers to immediately expel migrants if authorities deemed themselves overwhelmed with the number of undocumented people requesting asylum at the international boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tough new measures discussed among select senators for months include a new federal requirement to \u201cshut down\u201d the US-Mexico border if more than 5,000 undocumented people cross into the US daily and plans to swiftly throw out economic migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who broke from the Democratic party in 2022 to become an independent, told CBS\u2019s Face the Nation earlier on Sunday some of what she and other Senate negotiators have been working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the number of migrants crossing without an appointment with the US authorities approaches 4,000 people a day, the US government would be granted the power to voluntarily turn away all people presenting at border stations, to give time for the asylum application processing to catch up, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At other times, migrants would be taken into short-term detention as their claims for asylum were rapidly assessed. Anyone failing to meet the standards for a claim would be \u201cswiftly returned to their home country\u201d, Sinema said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe that by quickly implementing this system, individuals who come for economic reasons will learn very quickly that this is not a path to enter our country and will not take the sometimes dangerous or treacherous trek to our border,\u201d she told the Sunday morning TV show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the faster deportation provisions, the draft bill would also speed up the time needed to process successful asylum applications. \u201cFolks who do qualify for asylum will be on a rapid path, six months or less, to start a new life in America,\u201d Sinema said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The draft Senate bill meets several of the demands that have been raised by Republicans who have accused the Biden administration of failing to secure the US border. In particular, it proposes an end to the system of allowing people to remain in the US while their asylum applications are processed \u2013 a procedure Republicans dismissively call \u201ccatch and release\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
