This was reported by Censor.NET with the reference to The Hill.

The Republican leader hopes that in the coming days the negotiators will unveil an agreement on border security, although he noted that the Senate agenda is controlled by Democrats.

"I assume we will obviously take up this issue in the Senate next week," McConnell told reporters.

As a reminder, the disagreement over the president's powers to release migrants detained at the southern border of the country on parole remains a stumbling block. .

At the same time, McConnell argues that Republican lawmakers should not miss the opportunity to pass a package of laws aimed at eliminating threats to national security, reforming asylum legislation and the administration's authority to deport migrants from the country. 

"This is a unique opportunity to accomplish something in a divided government that would not have been possible under a unified government," he added.
