Biden administration tussles over illegal immigration, funding for Ukraine

According to a comprehensive report by “Le Figaro” and AFP, on Friday, January 26, the dispute between US President Biden and the Republican Party over the ongoing discussions in Congress on Ukraine and immigration policy heated up sharply, showing that the election campaign Signs of increased activity.
Under pressure from right-wing parties, the two topics of providing new aid to Ukraine and strengthening immigration controls are being discussed simultaneously, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on delivering key weapons and equipment to the Ukrainian army.
On Friday night, the Democratic president issued an appeal to conservative lawmakers, asking them not to block the immigration plan under negotiation. Biden emphasized that this immigration plan is the “toughest, most stringent and strictest” to ensure U.S. border security than any in the history of the United States. A reform that will make all times more equitable.”
Biden’s statement was a response to Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Johnson warned on Friday that any vote on new funding to aid Ukraine and strengthen the U.S.-Mexico border would be “stillborn.”
