In the ongoing negotiations over a funding deal, Republican candidates in border states are cautioning their congressional GOP counterparts not to concede ground to Democrat demands for increased support to Ukraine while the migrant crisis at the southern border escalates. These candidates argue that prioritizing Ukraine over the worsening border situation poses a threat to America’s national security.
Washington has a sick addiction: foreign wars. America’s border doesn’t matter to DC politicians and the military industrial complex, just everyone else’s border. Well if Donald Trump was still president, conflicts like the war in Ukraine wouldn’t even be happening. We’d have world peace again! – Marjorie Taylor Greene -see fast clip below

The largest migrant caravan of 2023 known as the ‘poverty exodus,’ has recently departed from Southern Mexico, comprising approximately 15,000 individuals from 24 countries en route to the US border. Yet Democrats are focused on cooking pictures I posted that reminded me of my upbringing’s. I can’t with so much pettiness. TexasTribune you should write about this caravan on its way. That would be more productive- Mayra Flores Vallejo
Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake emphasized the need for elected officials to concentrate solely on securing the border and preventing unauthorized entries into the country. She stated, “If our elected officials can’t focus solely on securing our border and stopping people from invading our country, then they should be voted out of office.”
We have a national emergency at our border and an absence of leadership from the White House. Biden is doing NOTHING to help secure the border and keep our families safe. We need action on the border now. – Mercedes Schlapp – see fast clip below

Mayra Flores, former Republican Texas Congresswoman and the first Mexican-born woman elected to Congress, echoes Lake’s sentiment. Flores, who is running to reclaim her border district seat, insists that funds should not be sent to Ukraine as long as the United States grapples with the escalating border crisis. She emphasized the gravity of the situation, asserting that the thousands of unknown, illegal immigrants entering the country daily represent the most serious threat to national security.
The America First movement is about truth-telling and peacemaking.
We want to start investing in America.
Imagine what our country will look like when we build that wall, secure the border, stop the cartels, and start building a better future for the next generation.

Ben Luna, a New Mexico Senate candidate, advocates for a tough approach, asserting that Republicans must prioritize fixing America before extending assistance to other nations. Luna emphasizes the need for strong leadership and acknowledges the consequences of decades of flawed policies, urging a focus on addressing domestic challenges first.

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, up for re-election, has been a leading proponent in the Senate for Republican objectives in handling the border crisis. He introduced the Secure the Border Act, which serves as the GOP’s baseline for border position in funding negotiations. Cruz contends that comprehensive border security is essential, emphasizing that the White House’s objection stems from a reluctance to secure the border for everyone.
One of Cruz’s Democratic challengers, Texas state Senator Roland Gutierrez, offers a different perspective. Gutierrez argues that the war in Ukraine affects global democracy and suggests that addressing the border crisis involves reforming gun laws to combat cartel violence. He emphasizes the need for comprehensive gun safety reform, including red flag laws, purchasing age limits, and “assault” weapons bans.
"Not one penny should go to Ukraine until we have a secure border," @KariLake said.
She added that she didn't have a lot of faith in the border deal because @SenatorSinema one of her likely Senate opponents – supports the Ukraine-border deal." https://t.co/xSUutfefHL.

As key Senate lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill to negotiate a border security bill, 60 House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, visited Eagle Pass, Texas, to assess the situation on the southern border. They have vowed not to support any deal in the GOP-controlled House unless it incorporates elements of H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act.
"The deal they are working on now, from what I am hearing, I think is dead on arrival."

The demand to link increased aid to Ukraine with stricter border security measures, including aid to Israel and Taiwan, arose after President Biden urged its passage in October. The negotiations highlight the challenges of balancing international commitments with domestic priorities.
To Sum it all up: the debate over funding priorities underscores the tension between addressing the crisis at the southern border and providing aid to Ukraine. Republican candidates in border states argue for a focus on securing America’s borders first, while some Democrats emphasize the global implications of the conflict in Ukraine. As negotiations unfold, striking a balance between these competing priorities will be crucial for crafting a funding deal that addresses both national security concerns and international responsibilities.
BREAKING – More Just Out…
The criminal law firm representing Burisma, the Ukraine gas giant paying Hunter Biden millions, just registered as a Foreign Agent for its work in 2016. This proves once and for all Hunter Biden violated FARA. The firm was trying to prevent an investigation from the Obama admin and got meetings with high-level appointees including key anti-Trump impeachment witness Marie Yovanovitch. Hunter Biden was engaged in the same exact work. Will he get raided like Rudy Giuliani? – Natalie Winters

Alejandro Mayorkas is derelict in his duty to secure the border. He has failed to bring operational control to our border. He must be impeached.

- Damn right Kari if the Biden administration does not secure the border and start massive deportations the government should be shutdown until Donald Trump returns to the White House!!!!- Earl
- The taxpayers who are funding this could not even get an audit approved for the spending. Blank checks for whatever but we are not allowed to see who the checks were made out too. The house voted and pretty much said, you/we don’t really need to know, just trust us- Hugo Boss
- This is such a bizarre strategy to me. Most Americans regardless of their political leanings hate this. And these people are not going to be able to legally vote in our elections unless legislation has changed. And the next census isn’t for another 6 years. So they’re pissing off most of the country in hopes of long-term victory. They must be very confident that they can hold onto power for that long, despite angering the masses- Rebecca V Anti-Communist
- And Mayorkas blames this on Climate Change. SecMayorkas must be removed from office ASAP- Steve Kerwin
- We’re being invaded- Falcon
- I’m 100% not voting for any candidate unless they are going to: – Build the most massive border wall this country has ever seen. – End the ridiculous “asylum” system loopholes that are currently being used to destroy our country. – Round up and deport every single illegal that is currently in the United States of America! These are non negotiable – Travis
