Mike Johnson’s Spending Bill Includes $300M for Border Patrol — in Ukraine
Breitbart ^ | 04/19/2024 | John Binder

Posted on 04/19/2024 3:33:26 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A spending bill backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) includes hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer money for border patrol agents in Ukraine as illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border remains at record levels.

The spending bill, which 151 House Republicans helped 165 House Democrats advance on Friday, would see more than $95 billion sent to foreign countries — including about $61 billion to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia.

“ The Ukrainian border guards are a combat unit these days. Most (plus militia) seem to be holding the very long Uke-Russian border. The US variety of illegal immigrants is the least of their problems.”
*****************************************

Yes, there are military units along the Ukrainian/Russian borders. But the border guards that this money is meant to finance are involved in grabbing Ukrainian males trying to escape Ukraine and then sending them off to the meat grinders after minimum training. Folks aren’t trying to migrate TO Ukraine, they are trying to FLEE FROM UKRAINE. Just the facts, mad’m.

He’s working for Scranton Joe.

He loves to add to legislation, the president can exempt, the president can terminate, the president can bypass.

Wrong.
Ukrainian border security is solely to prevent Ukrainian males from escaping the US/NATO proxxy war against Russia

Can anyone explain how increased border funding would ever make it past the democrat senate or survive a veto from Biden?

Trump has been way too quiet on this betrayal in my view. I appreciate he has to be careful but the more we find out the worse it is. Johnson is Pence and Ryan in one in disgusting package.

The United States government is perhaps the only, certainly one of few, that actively hates its own people and tries to do everything possible to harm them and impoverish them.

They are like East Berlin Border Guards.

Their main role is to prevent draft evaders from escaping.

Pennies compared to Ukraine, embarrassing sell-out. Johnson should resign.

It is not supposed to be paid back. It is graft to the Democrat and Republican Politicians plus 10 per cent for the big guy and his piano player. As far as the Politicians of both Parties are concerned, the American Public can fornicate with themselves if they don’t like what they do. The Politicians do not even bother to hide their contempt for us now. If you think they care about what you think, you are only deluding yourself.
