Parole Cap Central to Border Security Deal Negotiations

Senate Republicans Push for Limit on Migrant Parole as Part of Agreement with Biden Administration

Senate Republicans are pushing for a cap on the number of migrants granted parole into the U.S. as part of a border security deal with the Biden administration.
Parole, a discretionary authority that allows foreigners to enter the U.S. temporarily, has been used extensively by the Biden administration, leading to criticism from Republicans.
Democrats argue that the president needs broad parole authorities to manage the border and incentivize migrants to use lawful immigration channels.
The parole issue is a sticking point in negotiations over a border security deal that would unlock aid for Ukraine, Israel, and other national security priorities.
Despite disagreements, Senate Republicans are optimistic about reaching a border security deal with Democrats by next week.
