Republicans in the Senate require severe changes in immigration policy to approve financial assistance to Ukraine and Israel.
In the latest news, journalists have become aware that the White House has presented an offer for additional funding worth $ 106 billion, but the issue of immigration policy remained open. The Republican group in the Senate, including Senators James Lankford, Lindsey Gramov and Tom Cotton, requires a strengthening of the conditions of asylum on the southern border of the country and other political changes as a prerequisite for maintaining financial assistance for Israel and Ukraine.
Immigration changes and a fight for financing
This requirement of republican senators signals openness to negotiations with Democrats in the Senate and the White House on immigration policy. President Joe Baiden's initial proposal included funding for border operations, but did not provide for changes in politics.
Peak of illegal border crossings and crime rise
Over the past two years, there has been a significant increase in illegal crossings in the US border. This situation has caused crime. Therefore, many politicians require US President Joe Biden to first solve the problem of illegal border crossings before asking for financial assistance for Ukraine.
Financial Support for Ukraine
The importance of US financial support for Ukraine is undeniable. Without this support, Ukrainians may find themselves in a difficult situation during the current conflict. Defense Minister Lloyd Austin and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken emphasize that the simultaneous support of the Allies, including Ukraine, is in the national interests of the United States.
