REPUBLICANS SAVAGE BORDER AND UKRAINE DEAL, THREATENING ITS SURVIVAL

The day after a small group of Republicans and Democrats cemented a plan to
clamp down on migration, G.O.P. leaders in both chambers denounced it as too
weak, imperiling its path to enactment.

Top House and Senate Republicans on Monday savaged a $118.3 billion bipartisan
compromise bill to crack down on unlawful migration across the U.S. border with
Mexico and speed critical security aid to Ukraine, threatening to kill the
deal’s chances of clearing a deeply divided Congress.

Senate Republicans and Democrats released the agreement on Sunday after more
than three months of near-daily talks, cementing an improbable breakthrough on a
policy matter that has bedeviled presidents of both parties and defied decades
of efforts at compromise on Capitol Hill. But the swift backlash from
Republicans who denounced the immigration restrictions as too weak suggested
that it had little path to enactment.

“Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time,”
Speaker Mike Johnson said in a joint statement with Republican leaders on
Monday. “It is dead on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to
reject it.”

Several Senate Republicans also quickly condemned the measure, raising questions
about whether it could even advance in that chamber, where members of both
parties have clamored for a compromise.

“I can’t support a bill that doesn’t secure the border, provides taxpayer-funded
lawyers to illegal immigrants and gives billions to radical open borders
groups,” Senator Steve Daines, Republican of Montana and the chairman of the
party’s campaign committee, wrote in a social media post. “I’m a no.”

The mounting Republican opposition was a grim sign ahead for an initial test
vote on Wednesday in the Senate, where the measure would need bipartisan support
— including a minimum of 10 G.O.P. votes — to move forward.
