Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned that if Congress doesn’t pass the border security bill, it would mean the U.S. will likely head into a full-blown war with Russia.
As The Daily Fetched reported on Monday, Republicans in Congress slammed the latest so-called ‘bipartisan’ deal on Biden’s border policy legislation, which they noted gives another $60 billion to Ukraine and nothing for a border wall.
“I urge Congress to come together and swiftly pass this bipartisan agreement,” President Joe Biden said.
The bill, released on Sunday, titled the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, has already attracted anger from GOP Reps and Senators, who called it an ‘open border bill.’
The bill will also pave the way for thousands of migrants to cross into the U.S., giving automatic work permits to asylum recipients and ultimately preventing Donald Trump from doing anything about it if he becomes president.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Schumer said:
“If we don’t aid Ukraine, Putin will walk all over Ukraine, we will lose the war, and we could be fighting in Eastern Europe as a NATO ally in a few years.”
“This bill is crucial, and history will look back on it and say, ‘did America fail itself?'” Schumer continued.
Schumer added:
“Too many Republicans, including Speaker Johnson, are just scared to death of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has said he wants chaos.”
“Donald Trump has said, ‘Well wait until I become president,’ that’ll take at least a year. Ukraine could be gone. The border will get much worse. War in the Middle East will get worse.”

Senator Rand Paul slammed the legislation, calling it “anti-American,” noting that the extra $60 billion has been allocated for Ukraine despite reports of “corrupt officials” embezzling $40 million was recently uncovered.
Amazing. This predictable revelation is only a week old and yet the Swamp’s new “border security” bill gives Ukraine $60 billion more….from the squandering of your money to the fake border reforms, it’s safe to declare this bill as anti-American. I’m a NO.

Officials stole $40…
Trump has repeatedly stated that the border needs addressing.
However, the Biden administration immediately rolled back Trump’s border achievements in 2021.
Biden is now blaming Republicans for the border crisis, claiming they won’t help him.

Not only have House-Republicans passed H.R. 2, which would end the border crisis, Joe Biden could end the crisis today by reversing his executive actions that opened the border in the fist place. pic.twitter.com/tkibfnWnCd
