GOP proposal aims to address border issues while providing aid to Ukraine

  • Senate Republicans release border security proposals as condition for Ukraine aid
  • Proposals include resuming border wall construction and curbing asylum qualifications
  • GOP proposal unlikely to win immediate Democratic support
  • Democrats looking for compromise on spending bill and Ukraine aid
  • Republicans hope Democrats will accept some border proposals due to increasing migrant numbers

Senate Republicans have outlined a set of border security proposals as a condition for providing aid to Ukraine. The proposals include resuming construction on the U.S.-Mexico border wall, curbing humanitarian parole for migrants, and making it more difficult for migrants to qualify for asylum. The GOP proposal, released on Monday, is unlikely to gain immediate Democratic support. However, it could serve as an initial offer as Democrats work on legislation based on President Biden’s aid request. Democrats are also seeking compromise on a spending bill and Ukraine aid. Republicans hope that Democrats will feel political pressure to accept some of their border proposals due to the increasing number of migrants crossing the border. The GOP proposal includes measures to make it more difficult for asylum-seekers to prove persecution claims, detain families at the border, and require asylum claims to be made at official ports of entry. It also renews some of the border policies pursued by former President Trump, such as building walls. Majority Senate Democrats are expected to introduce legislation based on Biden’s funding request soon, but it is unclear what they will include on the border. Negotiations between the White House, McConnell, and Democrats are ongoing.
