Senate negotiators on Friday reached a deal on a proposal to overhaul the asylum system at the U.S. border with Mexico, clearing the way for Democratic and Republican Senate leaders to begin the difficult task of convincing Congress to pass a national security package that will include tens of billions of dollars for Ukraine and immigration enforcement, as well as funding for Israel and other American allies.
Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, the lead Democratic negotiator, posted on social media Friday that a deal had been reached and that text of the bill would be released over the weekend. Senators are still working on finishing the rest of the package, which was initiated by a request from President Joe Biden for $110 billion for wartime aid for allies, domestic defense manufacturing, humanitarian assistance for conflicts around the world, and managing the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

And all these boondoggles are connected how? The nation is run by demons.
The way out, is everyone, everywhere, everything, every 4 years. Right down to the state / local level.
One, you would starve perpetual campaign slugs like Rick Wilson.
Two, you would starve the MSM for funding perpetual campaign slugs like Steponallofus and MSMNBC.
Three, you would give the Republic what it wants when it wants it, and then be forced to live with that choice. The amount of vitriol built up in four years would be fantastic, like a powder keg.
Four, that vitriol would cause the pendulum to 'snap back' consistently, and you would have actual conservative majorities, even trifectas, from time to time.
Five, an actual conservative trifecta could achieve real election reform, including strict election-day voting.
Where is the text of the bill?
I know but the bill will allow nearly 2M illegals per year (5K per month).
Which is very very very strange to “allow” illegal immigration.
Ah, apologies—I thought you were referring to the last three years.
Bull Crap Deal from The Traitors.
SOOOOOOO, WHAT IS IN the damned deal? HOW does it shut down the damned illegals invasion. The damned damages have already happened as we have millions of undocumented illegals in this country now. Thousand of possible muzzie terrorists, other terrorist groups and Red Chinese troops.
Does the USA own its side of the border?
Do we have enforcement personnel on our side of the border?
Do we already have laws on the books regarding the border?
Why do we need a “border deal”, just close the damn thing.
5,000 a day, not a week.
The U.S. Senate is a brood of vipers. Nothing they do can be trusted. Our only hope appears to be in the House. Will Johnson get a backbone and table the bill?
No. We don't need to do anything.
We can tell Joe Biden that we won't send Ukraine anything until the border is closed. If the border is closed for 30 days, we'll send Ukraine one billion dollars. If it remains closed for another 30 days, we'll send Ukraine another billion.
That'll encourage Joe Biden to be on his best behavior and keep the border closed.
Anytime Democrats pimp a “bipartisan bill” you can be sure they rolled the Republicans.
