WASHINGTON — President Biden is asking Congress to approve another $20.6 billion to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, despite mounting public opposition — more than five times the $3.9 billion he wants for US border security, migrant processing and anti-fentanyl efforts.
The new funding requests were announced Thursday ahead of an anticipated budget showdown in late September, when House GOP conservatives are expected to demand cuts in exchange for avoiding a partial government shutdown.
At least some of the border-related funds would help sponsor care for migrants released at the US-Mexico frontier following New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ increasingly frustrated pleas for federal help.
The Ukraine request follows $113 billion in congressional appropriations last year to support the war-torn Eastern European country.

How about that $20 Billion goes to build the border wall, which will help control import of fentynal.
How about 3.9 billion for the Ukraine and 20 billion for our southern border. And let’s tell the Ukraine they will be not a penny more.
President Retard thinks he was elected king of Ukrainia
Government only rewards failure. It keeps expectations low and the money coming in and growing in the amounts.
If the freeloading “migrants” want asylum, WHY THE HELL DO THEY NEED U.S. TAXPAYER MONEY PAY FOR IT. They seem to have lots to spend in Walmart to buy big ticket TVs, cell phones and other luxury items.
Man, he sure does love giving away taxpayer dollars.
How much for hurricane ravaged Florida?
How about toxic Ohio?
And now burned out Hawaii...
I really wish there was an adversarial party to the demonrats, you know, somebody on the other side of the issue. If we had one in Control of, say the House, He could stand up proudly and proclaim NOT ANOTHER NICKEL UNTIL THE BORDER WALL IS FINISHED COMPLETELY.
A trillion dollars in debt and these fools still keep printing money that simply doesn’t exist.
20 billion more to stop the reassembly of the Soviet Union
Thinks it’s an open checkbook....like the bribes he took
“If we had one in Control of, say the House, He could stand up proudly and proclaim NOT ANOTHER NICKEL UNTIL THE BORDER WALL IS FINISHED COMPLETELY”
That’s a good idea both practically and tactically. Sadly I don’t see it happening.
Both sides would have to give up something, no more money for Ukraine until the wall is complete (not started or promised to start but complete) then already money appropriated goes to Ukraine. Grand compromise with the Devil for both sides.
And throw out the migrants, all, and charge them th full amount for transportation, food, and bedding expenses to the border. Nothing after.
Well, the Ukraine counter-offensive is going exactly as expected - so why not send billions more?

Two couples from Ukraine moved into apartments in our senior complex last week. VERY well dressed, so they come from some kind of money. One of the women speaks fairly good English. Other couple has relatives here. Both couples friendly. But then, why shouldn’t they be?
We were relieved that they were not more #%$# Russians who steal everything they can, need free food, are dirty and totally nasty.
Biden figures “It’s not my money, it’s taxpayer money. I won’t even take out my 10%. It’s part of buying votes.”
Yup. Seal the border. $20 billion to finish the Wall, Claymores every hundred yards, and A10 Warthogs on patrol.
If McCarthy was really concerned about the border as much as he is the Ukraine War, he could tie the two together in the bill but you know he won’t.
The Republican base and America is being played yet again.

Just as long as it not audited,
