00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Senate Republicans are threatening to block a major bipartisan border security and immigration
00:06 bill they had negotiated. The threat comes just one day after the lead negotiator approved the
00:10 bill text on Sunday. GOP senators say they need more time to discuss amendments and the cloture
00:15 vote on Wednesday is too soon. Democrats are stunned, saying Republicans demanded the policy
00:19 changes and got them but are now killing the bill. Donald Trump has pressured Republicans to sink
00:23 the deal, seeing immigration as a political issue for 2024. The bill includes provisions on border
00:28 security, Ukraine aid, and assistance for Israel. Failure of the cloture vote would effectively
00:33 kill the bill for now by preventing forward debate. For all things money visit Benzinga.com
