House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., argued the American people understand coupling Ukraine aid with funding to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Sunday argued it 'makes sense' to couple Ukraine aid with funding for the U.S.-Mexico border. 'We have to take care of our own border first,' Johnson said during an appearance on 'Fox News Sunday.
' 'We cannot continue this, everyone knows it,' Johnson said. 'And the fentanyl that’s coming over the border, human trafficking, the cartels making billions of dollars off of our backs, we are going to stop that. And the House Republicans are committed to it. I think the people are with us.' Johnson said he’s been working through the weekend on a stop gap measure, recognizing that all appropriations bills may not be done by the Nov. 17 deadline.
