Senators are working on an immigration agreement that would limit the opportunities for migrants to seek asylum. It should be adopted in exchange for new military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Journalists of the publication note that it "has a good chance", although the Republicans "put forward tougher conditions".

Thus, the American leader, who practically didn't participate in the fight for immigration reform, has to compromise with Congress. According to the WSJ, this is related not only to the provision of aid to Ukraine, but also to the criticism of the President among Americans.

Recall that the United States suspended military aid to Ukraine until Congress approves new funding.
