Biden reaches out to Republican leaders for support of border bill
==========
President Joe Biden urges Republican leaders to support a revived bipartisan bill on border security, despite opposition from House Speaker Mike Johnson. The Border Act aims to reform U.S. asylum laws, hire more border agents, and combat fentanyl smuggling. The bill previously stalled in the Senate due to former President Donald Trump's opposition. Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer plans to pass the new bill this week, with the White House expressing strong support. Biden asks congressional Republicans to pass the legislation and stop playing politics. Republican leaders in the House of Representatives have called the bill politically motivated and declared it 'dead on arrival.' The previous legislation was tied to U.S. foreign aid for Ukraine and Israel, but this bill would stand alone.
