  1. Government: This bill is about the southern border.
    The Bill: allocates $1 billion dollars to ukraine

  2. AMERICA already has the LAWS and RESOURCES to CLOSE and DEFEND our BORDER, WE DON'T NEED A" DEAL OR ELSE " BLAME GAME to MISINFORM AMERICA.

  3. All I can say about the politics in the USA is all these problems the USA government is facing right now is because we have law makers, congressmen and senators that aren’t capable of tieing their own shoe laces not to mention trying to pass bills. Personally I think give every congressman state and federal work a drug test on Monday and a IQ test on Tuesday if they fail one or both send them home without a pension. That would sure clean house lol 😂 that this point these federal workers got to clean up their own lives before making rules for someone else. Send them home!!!!!

  4. Democrats say if you do not pay for there war in Ukraine then they will leave the U.N to keep sending illegals to America. We do not need any bill to shut down the Border the constitution says a President is to protect America, its called Treason.

  5. let's be clear.the republican party and their voters are nothing more then greed,hate and death.vote blue

  6. Evil-angelicals are in our legislation.

  7. Hi friends, I’m hearing on my side, most voters don’t want what the Republicans are offering! 70% of their voters want a better alternative to Donald Trump! Voters don’t want the Mega agenda! Women want their rights reversed! People aren’t into the woke agenda not even Republicans voters. The unfortunate truth is the Republican Party is led by fruitcakes like Donald Trump., Mike, Jim, Lindsay, Ted Cruz. Mitch, and driven by defending corporate greed, billionaires, and toxic special interest groups, that own the right wing legislators lock stock and barrel! Criminal billionaires spend their money corrupting our Supreme Court justices and keep us polarized so we can’t vote for change to help ourselves! As Americans, we need to pull together and vote together for our own good! Rich billionaires like things the way that they are. These wealthy billionaires have been raking in billions of dollars, while the 99% of us were paying double the price for household items, and four dollars at the gas pumps while corporations and Big oil are making record profits! We need to change some laws, so the wealthy pay their fair share and taxes! We need to enforce laws, so big corporations start paying taxes! We need to change laws, so the 99% of us can make decent wages and start Rebuilding the middle class again! Thanks for listening!

  8. These Republicans are the sickest of sick letters poor kids and families go hungry who does that very very sick people unbelievable vote them out !!!!!!!!

  9. If it doesn't include getting rid of the illegal aliens it's not going to fly

  10. And while this goes on another caravan pf 20,000 illegals is heading to the border.

  11. Why does Trump even know what is in the Bill?
    He's not in government.

  12. If I was in office I would never been seen with chuck or micth this tells me that Johnson is rubbing some one bag

  13. Biden has opened the border and allowed in 8 million illegals. Now the dems want to reduce the amount to 1.8 million illegals per year, and that is a victory?

  14. GOP playing politics with our safety

  15. For 3 years the democrats said there was no crisis , they waited for an election year to do something

  16. How many of the 8 million illegals are in Democrat politicians neighborhoods?

  17. Trump nominated for a Noble Peace Prize.

  18. Ray Epps walks Scott free!?!?

  19. Your picture of both leaders with the headline "Election year politics…" is extremely misleading. Only one of them is milking a crisis for political expediency and that's the Speaker of the House.

  20. No, an election over three years ago severely hobbles all legislation now because this administration won't play by the rules?

  21. WAKE UP SHEOPLE THIS IS PLANNED
    EXPECT ANOTHER IMMIGRATION ACT LIKE REAGAN PASSED

  22. this is planned, they did it before in the 1980s

    Jimmy Carter ( democrat ) let them in 1977-1980

    Ronald Reagan ( republican ) let them stay, immigration act 1986

    Joe Biden ( democrat ) let them in 2021 2025

    Donald Trump ( republican ) will let them stay, immigration act of 2026

    Trump just announced the other day to plan an immigration plan…. I have been saying this for almost 3 years now

    This is the United Nations Agenda 2030

  23. OMG THE HOUSE PASSED A SINGLE BILL in over a year! Morons.

  24. Our votes are being bought people please vote these people out let your voices be heard

  25. If they don't close the Borders Politics won't matter this Summer ….

  26. If a President has criminal immunity, then why did the Republicans force Bill Clinton to take a plea deal to avoid jail?

  27. The GOP are blocking child tax credit and border security bills so people will be angry at Biden and vote for Trump. How pathetic and what’s more pathetic are voters that will vote for the GOP who have proven they cannot govern and have no interest in helping non-rich Americans.

  28. 45 continues to destroy America and the repubs continue as Lemmings to lick it up.

  29. Red State Govs sending the NG Too Texas. They Should be sending too the Prisons that are Short Staffed in their States.

  30. What about the REFORMS TO SSI AND SSDI??? WHERE IS YOUR PROMISES NOW. NO REFORMS WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC NO FOR ALL KIVING IN POVERTY SSI/SSDI. 8 MILLION AUTOMATIC REPUBLICAN VOTES, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE FAMILIES SPENDING THOUSAND TO HELP THEIR PARENTS PAY FIR THEIR RENT AND FOOD

  31. Biden don't care for America! Check The Border!Hold The Border Line Abbott!
