Biden Negotiates Border Security Compromise Amid Opposition from Trump

Proposed Bill Would Dramatically Change U.S. Immigration Policy; United Auto Workers Union Endorses Biden's Reelection

President Biden and a bipartisan group of senators are negotiating a border security compromise that would dramatically change policy at the U.S.-Mexico border, including giving the president authority to shut down asylum processing during a spike in daily illegal crossings.
The proposed bill would require Homeland Security to reject migrants after average daily border crossings surpass 5,000 over seven days, raise the standard to accept asylum seekers, shorten the time for legal review of their cases to just six months, and expand fast-track deportations.
The deal would also restrict the use of the immigration parole authority, allocate 50,000 more immigrant visas, give status to the children of skilled workers, and offer permanent residency to Afghans brought to the U.S. after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Former President Donald Trump has voiced strong opposition to the bill, calling it a 'horrible open-borders betrayal of America.'
Despite Trump's opposition, the United Auto Workers union has officially endorsed President Biden's reelection, citing his history of standing with the American worker.
