Senate’s $61B for Ukraine Could Build Wall Across Entire U.S. BorderJohn Binder 13 Feb 2024
This week, the United States Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package which will send another $61 billion to Ukraine despite prior funds going unaccounted for.
While Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Peter Welch (D-VT), and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) were the only non-Republicans to vote against the funding, 22 Senate Republicans joined Democrats to pass the package.
Sens. John Boozman (R-AR), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Mike Crapo (R-ID), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Kennedy (R-LA), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), James Risch (R-ID), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), John Thune (R-SD), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Todd Young (R-IN) voted with Senate Democrats for the Ukraine funding.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), though, has said he has no plans to put the package on the House floor for a vote.
The $61 billion in American taxpayer dollars to Ukraine included in the package could build a new wall across the entire U.S.-Mexico border where hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are pouring across every month, 85 percent of whom are being released into American communities by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
On average, each mile of border wall costs the federal government anywhere from $20 million to $45 million to build.
