White House & Senate Negotiators Make Progress on Border Policy Changes | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The White House and Senate negotiators continue their weeks-long border policy negotiations forging ahead on issues like immigration parole authority. But divisions among Republicans lead by former President Donald Trump deepen and threaten to derail the whole thing. The big question is what happens now. Negotiators say they're about 90% done on the bipartisan effort to introduce new border policy changes, a plan which would also supply aid to Ukraine and Israel. But Republican Leader Senator Mitch McConnell says the plan might be dead because former President Donald Trump wants to take the lead on any new immigration policy. Meanwhile, the chief negotiators are trying to remain optimistic. Senator James Lankford says, "The things that are in this bill, Donald Trump would actually like as president on this. Obviously, if he was president right now we would have a secure border right now. But he's not and we don't. But there are legal authorities that he was looking for when he was president like changes in the asylum law that is in this bill."
