WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - American lawmakers introduced a bill to block military aid to Ukraine until the US southern border is secured, Rep. Matt Rosendale said on Tuesday.
"Today, Representative Rosendale introduced the Secure America’s Borders First Act. This bill would prohibit the U.S. government from providing military and security assistance to Ukraine until the border wall system on the southern border is completed, and operational control of the southern border is achieved," the statement said.
The Republican lawmaker's bill is co-sponsored by Representatives Andy Biggs, Bob Good, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Jody Hice, Mary Miller, Ralph Norman, Bill Posey, and Randy Weber.
talk about empty gestures...
Yeah, but they are legislators, not cops.
I believe the latest Ukraine hype and fake news is not really about keeping Russia out of Ukraine - rather, its about keeping Germany and Russia for forming any deeper economic and political connections.
Germany’s PM Scholz is going to Moscow next week. I expect he will announce Nordstream II is finally going ahead.
Watching idiot biden, the waxman Blinken and their deep state masters respond will be very interesting.
It’s a start
Yeah, that will go about as far as a car with four flat tires and a broken crankshaft.
The controlled opposition wing of the Uniparty is worthless. Vote out every RINO.
It is NO LONGER acceptable for ANYONE to vote because the POS has an R next to their name, if we lose the seat for one cycle SO BE IT!! You can all say that ANY R is better than a Dem NOT TRUE!! If we lose a McConnell we NEED TO find a seat in another state to fight for ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Easier to replace incumbent d’s with our guys, then incumbent r’s
How many of these guys refused to cooperate with President Trump on building the fence?
$100,000,000 worth of steel rusting away at the border which cannot be sold to anyone. Such spite.
Don’t stop at Ukraine
Now if they could just work up the nerve to clean up the last election-——
“Empty gestures?”
The loaded point is what are we doing on the Ukraine border when we ignore the Mexican border.
I’m in agreement with the proposal. Secure our own border and then worry about others.
It’s a toothless gesture because Republicans don’t have the votes to make it into a bill that in any case the President would veto.
I agree that we should do it.
I get so tired of all these great bills that republicans file when they are not in power. Do they think we are stupid, yes,. That bill will never see the light of day. Does anyone think Nancy would bring that to the floor for a vote?
I don’t even know why it’s news. Maybe they think idiots will believe they are doing something. And if they win the house, that bill never be voted on.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT VOTING OUT a dem is a lot easier than getting rid of a rino. Let the dem win, it’s the only way to get rid of the rinos. The rinos vote with the dems anyway. Then in 2 years we can elect a conservative.
