Speaker Johnson: Ukraine funding depends on ‘transformative change’ to border security
The Hill ^ | 12/05/2023 | RAFAEL BERNAL

House Republicans are digging in with their demands to link aid to Ukraine to permanent changes to U.S. border policy.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday wrote Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young, pushing back on the Biden administration’s requests to hurry Ukraine aid.

In the letter, Johnson recalled an October meeting with administration officials including Young and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, during which the Speaker laid out preconditions for Republicans to support further aid to Ukraine.

If Zelenskyyy wants to continue getting pallets of taxpayer dollars, he needs to lend the U.S. some of his soldiers that we can use to defend our southern border. They are doing a hell of a job keeping the Ruzzkis out of the Ukraine, imagine what they could do on our southern border.

The DC deep-state empire’s borders are in Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Somalia, Taiwan.

Definitely not in Texas or Arizona.

Border Security does not mean millions for processing and transporting illegals all over the country. That has been the BS the rats have been calling increased funding for border protection and Kevin the cuck let them

That is a great point:

- no shortage of Ukranian volunteers wanting to get out of that part of the world,
- they are not USA citizens so ROE imposed on our BP, LEOs, etc should not apply (weapons free?),
- other incentives may imply.

Better yet, quit funding Ukraine. Biden will never enforce any kind of border security.

They will lie to get Ukraine funding, but they will never protect the border.

This is a good way to put off funding but that is about it.

Right. It’s just like A’stan and all the money America sent there

I mean if you can’t defeat your enemy with THAT kind of equipment, training and money, then it’s not about money

Zelensky had more than enough money and US stuff by now, and likely a serious ‘accounting’ problem

I think Biden has made his bed, Russia gets the sections of Ukraine in conflict, and Russia allows Iran to to be dealth with by the US. Venezuela and Iran are in our cross hairs in South America.

Exactly. Republicans could have shut down the border 3 years ago.

Sending anymore money to Ukraine to be laundered is absolutely unacceptable.
