San Antonio's Joaquin Castro warns about 'punitive' GOP immigration bill

San Antonio Congressman Joaquin Castro and a group of immigration experts on Tuesday blasted a new bill by Senate Republicans that would tie a draconian immigration crackdown to any further foreign aid for the war in Ukraine. Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas; and James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, on Monday unveiled a proposal that would make it harder for people to legally seek asylum in the U.S. while bringing back Trump-era policies including detaining immigrant families and resuming construction of a border wall. "Over my 10 years in Congress, I've voted again and again for border security packages, and today, we're spending more on border security than at any point in our nation's history," said Castro, a Democrat.
