US President Joe Biden has agreed to strengthen immigration policies to avoid criticism and provide aid to Ukraine and Israel. The Senate is already preparing an immigration agreement that will limit the ability of migrants to apply for asylum.
The Wall Street Journal reports this. The publication notes that this agreement has a high chance of success, although representatives of the Republican Party are putting forward more stringent demands.
Biden’s willingness to negotiate with Republicans also shows his willingness to compromise. According to WSJ, this decision is connected not only with the provision of assistance to Ukraine, but also with criticism expressed among Americans.
CBS News polls earlier this month showed Biden’s ratings on immigration hit a record low, with 68% of those surveyed expressing disagreement with his immigration policies and 63% saying they want the president to strengthen those policies.
In 50 years in politics that often focused on foreign policy priorities, Biden rarely took on difficult immigration policy issues. And when he did, it was usually with a moderate commitment.
For three years, the Biden administration has tried to curb the surge of migrants at the southern border. Republicans have taken up the issue, and a bipartisan agreement is likely to end debate.
It was previously reported that the US Congress may consider an agreement on financing Ukraine and border security with Mexico as early as next week. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Democrats control the Senate agenda, but negotiators are likely to unveil an agreement within the next few days.
As OBOZ.UA reported, US President Joe Biden called on Congress to approve aid to Ukraine. According to the US President, “it’s time to act,” because making a decision will bring the United States closer to protecting important national priorities.

Will it work this time, or will the maga morons invent another demand that will prolong Ukraine aid even more?
At any rate, Biden’s decision would be good for both nations – the US and Ukraine – because it not only would (hopefully) start military aid again for Ukraine but protect our borders.
Any vote will still rest on Johnson’s decision. Will he support the majority, or cave in to the Trump crowd?
I don’t know. I don’t trust Johnson one bit. I think he’s a creep.
I hope this will get a majority. It’s only for a year and then presumably after a GOP victory the wall will be completed anyway. 🤪
“For three years, the Biden administration has tried to curb the surge of migrants at the southern border.”
That is just a straight up lie.
Unless you count “Please, please, my fellow South and Central Americans, don’t cross the border in such huge numbers.”
Yeah. My God some outlets will print anything.
On the Fox News Channel, Laura Ingraham told Mike Johnson she had just gotten off a phone call with Trump and Trump had told her that he was against the immigration deal and had urged Johnson to oppose it.
“He…was extremely adamant about it,” she said.
Johnson agreed and said that he and Trump had been “talking about this pretty frequently.”
Trump needs the issue of immigration to whip up his base for the 2024 election.
I think so, too. The border issue is his ticket to the Oval Office. Politics is already dirty enough, but Trump manages to make it even dirtier. He’s willing to harm not only another innocent nation but even our own for his egotistical goals. I hope he will see a prison cell from the inside by before the elections.
