President Joe Biden on Friday (26) asked congressional Republicans to approve a bipartisan bill to control migration that would allow them to “close the border” with Mexico “when it is saturated.”

“What was negotiated would be – if passed into law – the toughest and fairest set of reforms to ensure border security that our country has ever had,” Biden said in a statement.
“[The law] would give me, as president, new emergency authority to close the border when it is saturated,” he added. “And if I had that authority, I would use it the day I sanction the bill,” the Democrat added, in an unusual tone for him.
As a result, the details of the agreement negotiated by a group of conservative congressmen and government officials two months ago are still unknown.
It is worth remembering that these negotiations are an attempt to save an aid package for Ukraine that the president requested from Congress, but which the Republicans condition on a tightening of immigration policy.
