The plan includes raising the “credible fear” standard for asylum-seekers, curtailing officials’ ability to grant humanitarian parole, toughening penalties for illegal border crossings, and creating a new “border security trust fund” to pay for additional personnel and technology at the border. The proposal has been met with criticism from some immigration advocates, and it is expected to be a major point of contention in the negotiations over the emergency funding package.

The survey results suggest that Biden's handling of the war in Gaza could have a major impact on the 2022 midterms, and he will need to take decisive action to maintain the support of Muslim and Arab Democrats.
