Biden urges border deal as Johnson calls plan ‘dead on arrival’

On Friday, President Joe Biden urged Congress to embrace a bipartisan Senate agreement that pairs border enforcement measures with aid for Ukraine.

However, House Speaker Mike Johnson hinted that the compromise on border and immigration policy might face significant opposition in his chamber, stating it could be “dead on arrival.”

In a late Friday statement, the Democratic president expressed that the proposed policies would constitute the “toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country.”

Additionally, he committed to utilizing a new emergency authority to “shut down the border” as soon as the legislation could be enacted.

Biden’s endorsement of the deal, coupled with Republican resistance, has the potential to signal a shift in the politics of immigration in an election year, the Associated Press reported.
