WASHINGTON — The White House portrayed it as a step toward compromise.
When President Joe Biden sent his request to Congress last month for aid to Ukraine and Israel, he included a request for more money to help with security at the border with Mexico, a sweetener intended to both address a crisis and win over support of Republicans.
Republicans, meanwhile, are calling attention to migration at the southwest border, which has topped 8,000 crossings a day in recent days — and become a major political liability for Biden.
Immigration advocates say the impasse is evidence that Biden never should have paired the wartime funding with immigration reform in the first place.
