The outstanding issues are still outstanding and a deal on Biden's agenda needs to happen today
CNN
Democrats seemed to move further apart over the course of the last 24 hours, laying bare the very real risk that President Joe Biden will fall short in his effort to secure an agreement before he arrives on the global stage later this week.
In private meetings from the Oval Office to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, the message delivered to key Democrats was that the time was now for an agreement, and despite the complicated nature of things, a path could be -- must be -- secured this week.
It seems a long way off at the moment, on both policy and procedural grounds. But there's one big push to come, officials and aides say.
The Trump administration has moved with lightning speed to roll out the president’s immigration agenda, effectively closing off the US southern border to asylum seekers, severely limiting who’s eligible to enter the United States and laying the groundwork to swiftly deport migrants already in the country.
