The White House has released the details of a $105 billion request for funding Israel, Ukraine, border security, humanitarian assistance and countering China
The White House on Friday released a sweeping set of proposals to bolster Israel and Ukraine in the midst of two wars as well as invest more in domestic defense manufacturing, humanitarian assistance and managing the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The total cost of the supplemental funding request was pegged at just over $105 billion. President Joe Biden hopes Congress will move urgently on the legislation, and he made the case for deepening U.S.
He's hopeful that combining several different issues, from border security to countering China's influence, will foster a political coalition that can move the legislation forward. But there’s equal potential for the entire package to get bogged down in various policy debates, especially when it comes to immigration, a historically contentious topic.
