Senator Schumer says border enforcement negotiators needed space to produce legislation

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer says in floor remarks a day after legislative text of a bill with resources for defense of Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan combined with negotiated border enforcement reforms was released for consideration that the national security appropriations bill, resulting from four months of negotiations, is a crucial bipartisan agreement addressing issues like the border crisis, defending Ukraine against Vladimir Putin's invasion, aiding Israel against Hamas, and delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, urging Senators to prioritize national security over political considerations and lead the country forward.
