Loading ...$118B Ukraine Slush-Fund ‘Border’ Deal Dead In Senate Amid GOP Revolt
Apparently they like being re-elected…
The Senate’s $118 billion ‘border security’ deal – of which more than 2/3 sends money to Ukraine ($60B+) and Israel ($14.1B) – appears to be dead, after Senate Republicans have vowed to block a procedural motion. The move means that there’s zero chance that the legislation will pass the Senate without major changes – while any revisions to the absurd asylum and border security reforms (which still allow 1.5 million illegals into the country per year, hobbles states like Texas by requiring legal challenges be arbitrated in DC courts, and funds NGOs who facilitate human trafficking to the tune of billions), could further cast the deal into disarray.
