Biden wants $20.6B more for Ukraine — and $3.9B for migrant, fentanyl crises
NY Post ^ | Aug. 10, 2023

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.

No, Ukraine owns him. Biden is bought and paid for. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

We could charge Mexico for each person that crosses over from Mexico. Add it to tariff or something. Bet they’d quickly stop letting people get near the border if there were consequences for that travel.

Problem is, the USSR isn’t reassembling and the money, our money, is being squandered on corruption because Ukes sure ain’t winning anything no matter how much we throw their way.

GOP talk of military action in Mexico sparks dire warnings

https://thehill.com/latino/4170236-gop-talk-of-military-action-in-mexico-sparks-dire-warnings/

We need to invade Mexico (yet Again...) and take control of the Mexican ports where the shipments of Fentanyl come in from China. Maybe our Military can’t/won’t be bribed by the Cartels...
