The White House has declared its readiness to make concessions to the US Congress for the sake of an agreement on military assistance to Ukraine and Israel
Biden is ready to reconsider border security and speed up deportation of illegal immigrants
Joe Biden's administration is considering introducing new restrictions for asylum seekers in the United States and simplifying the deportation procedure for illegal immigrants.

According to the source, this step may be a concession to Congress to approve a bill that provides additional funding for Ukraine and Israel.
The White House and the U.S. Congress are trying to conclude a deal that would provide military assistance to the two allied countries and at the same time prevent illegal immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Republicans are refusing to approve increased funding for Ukraine without additional measures to reduce the number of migrants trying to illegally cross the US border. This has led to difficult negotiations that combine unrelated issues.
President Joe Biden, who is up for re-election in 2024, said on Wednesday that he is ready to make significant concessions on border security.
The White House is ready to tighten the standards for initial vetting of asylum seekers, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Another possible point of agreement could be the expansion of the expedited deportation procedure. According to the source, this procedure will be applied throughout the country, not just at the border, as it is now.
There is a week left to resolve the issue before lawmakers go on Christmas vacation.
