The bipartisan Senate security bill that contains aid for Ukraine and Israel will not make it to the House floor.
The Senate vote should happen on Wednesday.
The bill also does not count unaccompanied children not from Mexico in the migrant encounter tally.
We have NO money to give anyone foreign aid. It also gives Ukraine $40 billion more than it gives border security! The bill includes $2.4 billion to tackle the Houthis in the Red Sea.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told Republicans to vote on the bill because it is “crucial to defending American interests overseas.”
Make a separate bill then! I hate that Speaker Mike Johnson wanted a border bill with foreign aid. Thanks for giving the left more ammunition to use against you.
The bill also has what Sens. James Lankford and Kyrsten Sinema claimed it did not: 5,000 illegal immigrants can across a day.
The border has seen up to 4,000 encounters a day.
Plus, President Joe Biden can suspend a border shutdown.
Speaker Johnson said it is “dead on arrival.”
Before I talk about the House, a few Senate Republicans won’t vote for it.
Again, don’t demand a border bill include foreign aid. Keep these bills separate. Don’t combine ANYTHING.
