Despite optimism over the weekend for the release of legislative text for a possible border security<\/a> package, no release is expected this week, a source close to bipartisan Senate negotiations tells Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The source added that there are a “thousand small things to work out.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite no forthcoming release, Fox was told the talks have not lost momentum, and negotiators are pleased with where things stand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senators are aware of the need to ship further aid to Israel and Ukraine<\/a>. There is also concern that any struggle with funding the government later this month could undercut such talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The source told Fox News that government funding “takes precedence” and has a “hard deadline.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Negotiators are expected to speak to Senate Democratic<\/a> and Republican lunches tomorrow about the status of the talks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has been directly involved in the talks as the president tries to both secure support for a top foreign policy priority \u2014 funding Ukraine’s defense against Russia \u2014 and demonstrate action on a potential political weakness \u2014 his handling of the historic number of migrants seeking asylum at the U.S. border with Mexico.<\/p>\n

Biden has faced staunch resistance from conservatives to his $110 billion request for a package of wartime aid for Ukraine and Israel as well as other national security priorities. In the Senate, Republicans have demanded that the funding be paired with border security changes.<\/p>\n

But in the House, conservatives have criticized any proposals that fall short of the strict border measures they passed on a party-line vote last year. And some House members aligned with Donald Trump, the former president and current Republican presidential front-runner, have suggested they would not support any bipartisan proposal \u2014 no matter the substance \u2014 if it means giving Biden a border bill to sign in an election year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
