Republicans, Democrats Clash Over Linking Border Security to Aid for Israel and Ukraine
- Republicans stormed out of a classified Senate briefing on aid for Israel and Ukraine, upset it did not address border security.
- The briefing grew heated as Senators argued over discussing immigration amid talks on the aid package.
- Democrats accused Republicans of hijacking the briefing to talk about the border instead of aid.
- Republicans said they want border security measures passed before approving more Ukraine aid.
- The clash shows how far apart the parties remain on immigration ahead of a vote on Biden's aid package.
