WASHINGTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - The Democratic-led U.S. Senate is due to vote later on Wednesday on an effort to advance security assistance for Ukraine and Israel, despite Republicans' determination to block the bill in a battle over immigration policy.
"The question before the Senate today is simple, yet momentous: will Senators agree to begin debate – just a debate – on legislation to defend America’s national security, on an issue so important it goes to the actual preservation of Western and democratic values in the world?" Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in remarks opening the Senate.
But Republicans said they would oppose a procedural vote to start debate on the $110 billion security assistance bill.
"Today’s vote is what it takes for the Democratic leader to recognize that Senator Republicans mean what we say. Then let’s vote. And then let's finally start meeting America's national security priorities, including right here at home," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in a floor speech.

And I doubt he'll even get all the Dim votes.
How about American taxpayer money for American taxpayers?
Chuck, you can have all the money for Ukraine that you want, just shut the damn border!!
No. Too hard to launder that.
Ukraine was a losing disaster $ 200 billion ago.
It ain’t gonna’ get any better by flushing more money down the rat hole.
Darn!!!
Ah yes, Democrats! The War Hawks!
Close the border. And that doesn’t mean a ton of money for the border that Biden can use to welcome, catalogue, feed and transport migrants.
And no money for nazis.
In 1942 the Russian military was stronger than it was in 1941.
In 1943 the Russian military was stronger than it was in 1942.
In 1944 the Russian military was stronger than it was in 1943.
Every year the war continues, the Russian military will get stronger.
Every year the war continues, Russian military R & D will get well funded.
“Close the border.”
Denounce (officially exit) the Refugee Convention so the border can be legally sealed.
It’s not that Ukraine funding is that important, this is the biggest rat money laundering op in history and it’s an election year. As long as Mitch and his little band of rino’s get to wet their beak they are on board.
Wait, Mitch realized that he isn’t a democrat?!?!? Looks like they found the right meds.
