PLEASE, WRITE YOUR SENATORS

      Today, I wrote to my elected Senators.  I included a paragraph, from the N.Y. Times, of House Republicans' demands for immigration policies, in order to pass military aid packages, for Ukraine and Israel.  My phone and apps are hacked.  I can't find the article.
     I agreed with all three demands and asked that military aid packages be passed, with urgency.
     From a different, N.Y. Times article:

What Republicans Want

Republicans have said they want to make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States — a demand that the White House has signaled it is willing to consider.

But Republicans say that is not enough.

They also want to restore policies that would either rapidly turn people away at the border or force them to wait in Mexico until their asylum case is heard. Former President Donald J. Trump used those methods to effectively shut the border to migrants during his administration.

Republicans are seeking to expand a policy known as “expedited removal” to rapidly deport undocumented immigrants. They also want to restrict the use of an immigration policy known as humanitarian parole, which has allowed thousands of Afghans, Ukrainians and others fleeing war and violence to come to the United States.

Republicans say the overhaul is necessary to contend with crossings at the border that have surpassed 10,000 per day recently.
