President Biden is attempting to revive a congressional border deal tied to Ukraine funding, proposing a shutdown of the U.S.-Mexico border under certain conditions.

The proposed deal includes a stipulation to close the border should illegal crossings surpass 5,000 migrants in a single day.

Ex-President Trump is urging Republicans to derail the border deal negotiations.

Biden's willingness to use emergency authority to close the border has surprised immigration advocates and caused discontent within the Democratic Party.

Record-high border arrests in December highlight the urgency of the immigration issue, with significant numbers from Mexico and Central America.

Immigration is becoming an increasingly important issue for voters ahead of the 2024 election, with many concerned about the situation.

The Biden administration is grappling with a surge in asylum seekers and insufficient resources to manage the situation, while enforcing laws against illegal immigration.

Democrats and Republicans have not yet reached a formal agreement on the border deal, with ongoing debates causing tension among party members.
