Mike Johnson's Spending Bill Includes $300 Million for Ukraine's Border
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) spending bill includes hundreds of millions of dollars from the American taxpayer for Ukraine’s border patrol agents.
Yes, really.
Even though millions of illegals are pouring into the United States via Joe Biden’s open border, Johnson is sending more money to fix Ukraine’s border.
America last
As Breitbart reported, 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.
Slipped into the funding package’s Ukraine spending is $300 million for “the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine 20 and National Police of Ukraine, including units supporting 21 or under the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
The State Border Guard Service is the Ukrainian equivalent of the U.S. Border Patrol.
At the same time, while illegal immigration stays sky-high at the southern border, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is asking Congress to fund only 34,000 detention beds for migrants arriving at the border — 7,500 fewer beds than those currently funded by lawmakers.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Patrick Lechleitner, though, told Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) this week that he would prefer Congress fund 50,000 detention beds, a figure still below the hundreds of thousands that are necessary but well above DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s request.
The news comes just weeks after an illegal alien and member of the deadly terrorist group ISIS was reported to be roaming freely in the United States after being released into the country by the Biden administration after crossing the border.
Mohammad Kharwin, 48, was released by border officials in 2023. He has since spent an entire year roaming the streets of America.
Kharwin is also on the FBI’s national terrorist watchlist.
NBC News reported he “is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG, a political and paramilitary organization that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization.”
