This article doesn’t make a lick of sense. McConnell supports both Ukraine and border security. The problem is that the party that currently controls the Presidency and both houses of Congress refuses to support border security. It’s not McConnell’s fault we don’t have border security.

We should be at war with Mexico and the drug cartels not Russia. They are a clear and present danger.

True. We should. But we are not. Why? Because George Soros and Lying Joe Biden told their minions, both on and off Free Republic.com, “Ukraine must be defended”. And like the trained monkeys they are, then went into action with their chants. The danger to the United States is at the Southern Border. Not Ukraine. The only thing in danger in Ukraine is the source of Lying Joe's dirty money. Ant that The Worship Lying Joe Biden Brigade and the members of the Worship George Soros church are willing and able to defend to the last drop of yours and mine's blood. While they sit home, count their and play with their secretary's legs.

The entire premise with talking points like this article is just mind numbingly dumb. Conservatives are not able to multi task? Ridiculous.

Mexico intends to do to Los Angeles what Russia does to Ukraine. At some point they’ll just tell everyone there they are Mexican and are no such thing as Americans because “We stole their land”, etc.

Absolutely. And it’s not as if that.money would have been spent on a wall if it wasn’t sent to Ukraine. The problem with building the wall has never been that it is unaffordable. It’s that Democrats refuse to appropriate it.

“It’s not McConnell’s fault we don’t have border security.”

During the Trump’s first two years as president, the GOP controlled Senate was led by McConnell and the GOP controlled House by Paul Ryan. The House and Senate, under Republican control, refused to fund the construction of the southern border wall requested by President Trump. Trump eventually funded the wall by using discretionary funds appropriate for other purposes.

Had the wall been funded by Congress in Trump’s first year, much more of the wall would have been finished by the end of Trump’s first term.

McConnell did not support the building of the southern border wall. He does not support border security.
