McConnell expects Senate to take up Ukraine-border security package next week
The Hill ^ | 01/17/2024 | ALEXANDER BOLTON

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) told reporters Wednesday that he expects the Senate to consider a bipartisan deal on Ukraine funding and border security next week.

McConnell noted that Democrats control the Senate agenda but he stated his confidence that negotiators will unveil a deal on border security in the next few days.

“My assumption is we’re likely to be on that in the Senate next week,” he announced.

GOP leaders say the remaining sticking point is a disagreement over President Biden’s authority to parole migrants encountered at the southern border into the country.

So, they’re going to ram this past the House GOP? Given the RINOs there, it may not take much.

No deals.

Close the border completely, revoke all “paroles” and work permits or the government shuts down.

Period.

Ukraine doesn’t need any money, they need soldiers, put forth legislation that conscripts the blood relatives between the age of 17-35 of every civilian Federal Employee in to the armed forces, give them a few weeks of training and then straight to the Front Lines in Ukraine, watch the WAR end overnight. As for Our Border, 100% closed and secure, Zero out the entire budget for the Department of Education and allocate those funds for Mass Deportations.

Yep, they will secure the Ukrainian border, and do nothing with the US border. Then brag that they are trying to secure the border.

American politicians are beneath contempt.

“GOP leaders say the remaining sticking point is a disagreement over President Biden’s authority to parole migrants encountered at the southern border into the country.”

There’s far more issues than that, even for the Senate.

I expect filibuster as 40 GOP feel the heat.

Not to mention it will never see a floor vote in the House.

Johnson would be doing GOP members of the Senate a favor by announcing it’s DOA in the House.

But, he may leave them hanging and holding a bag of sh!t, which would be MY preference.

McConnell? The guy who’s brain just shuts down at random?

Why are these people in charge of anything?

Mitch only cares about one border, Ukraine’s.

Meanwhile, the average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now 49, because all of the young men are DEAD!

I’m sure the Zeepers on here are willing to step up and head on over to the front lines in Ukraine.
