The U.S. Senate voted against a bill that would provide aid to Ukraine while also enforcing new border measures. Republican Senator Ted Cruz has played a prominent role in derailing the compromise, citing issues with the bill. The more conservative Senator John Cornyn also voted against the bill, citing inadequate provisions on parole authority which undermined any benefits to the asylum process. Many other Republicans, including U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, expressed skepticism about the proposal. A failed vote in the Senate is seen as a blow to the Biden administration, which is embroiled in escalating conflicts with Texas Governor Greg Abbott over border measures in Texas. Ultimately, the bill was criticized by all sides due to its perceived inadequacies, and it remains uncertain if an alternative measure will be implemented in the near future.
