Republicans are in a standoff with the Biden administration, refusing to fund Ukraine unless the money is tied to securing the U.S. southern border.
On Wednesday evening, Senate Republicans blocked a vote to advance a $110 billion foreign aid package that includes support for Ukraine's war against Russia and security assistance for Israel.
The 49-51 vote fell well short of the 60 votes needed as Republicans leveraged the aid bill to try to force changes to immigration and border security policies, according to CNN.
And the White House isn't happy.
"Make no mistake: Today's vote is going to be long remembered. And history is going to judge harshly those who turned their back on freedom's cause," President Joe Biden said in a speech on Wednesday.
"We can't let Putin win. I'll say it again: We can't let Putin win," he said, referring to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed the president, repeating his words almost verbatim at her daily news briefing on Thursday.
"It's stunning. It's stunning that we've gotten to this point … and that Republicans in Congress are willing to give Putin a gift, the greatest gift that Putin could hope for. That's what we're seeing," Jean-Pierre said.
"And so they are playing chicken with our national security — that's what we're seeing here. And history will remember them harshly," she said.
Jean Pierre's statement is so absurd it's laughable.
Nothing says "playing chicken with our national security" more than 12,000 illegal immigrants crossing our border in one day. That happened on Wednesday, according to Fox News, which said it was the highest number on record.
In the last fiscal year, there were 169 encounters with people on the FBI terror watch lists between ports of entry along the southern border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
This number not only shattered the previous annual record of 98 such individuals set in fiscal 2022 but also exceeded the combined terror watchlist border encounters for the prior six fiscal years.
Forget playing chicken — we're being dragged halfway under the semi-truck.
History will surely be the judge of these decisions and justly condemn us if a preventable attack reveals the true cost of the risks we've taken.

Aren't they all?
Yet another thing for Democrats to be proud of Joe Biden for.
Has Joe Biden ever had a clue about what is going on at the border?
Wake up, America.
"Wake up, America."
When it comes to border security, Biden and his cronies turned the alarm off and went back to sleep after 1 January of 2020.
True enough!
" Donald Trump 's tenure as the 45th president of the United States began with his inauguration on January 20, 2017, and ended on January 20, 2021." - wikipedia
LOL ...
The gop hasn't won't and can't own 2020, because that is when things went to shit. To them 2020 was Biden's fault...
More people have crossed the border under Biden than came during Trump's entire term.
Of course, Biden and Harris are just complete idiots regarding the border, and unfortunately they're joined by many other Democratic idiots who advocate for sanctuaries for lawbreakers.
They also like to blame Obama for 9/11.
Really?
I have never been stupid enough to blame anyone except the assholes who perpetrated the attacks.
So I hit a 0 instead of a 1 on a small cell phone screen with my arthritic fingers, so she me!
Correction to the end of the sentence should have read "...so sue me!".
If one couldn't tell it was a typo, they have no business talking.

So Biden got a real head start on ignoring the border!
Yay!
Yet they will blather on with excuse after excuse.
You are absolutely correct, but some people will anyway.
Close the border and send aid to countries who are on our side
I really don't see Biden ever doing anything effective at the border.
His track record sucks.
The only two ways anything will get done are if migrants are continued to be sent to blue sanctuaries or if Republicans force Biden into it by delaying any of his pet projects until he capitulates.
Personally, I would like to see Biden freaking admit that there actually IS a crisis, and then admit that his policies have contributed greatly to the problems there.
A physical impossibility.
The border can be made much more secure, and we could cut drastically back on the number of immigrants we are allowing to remain in the US.
Biden won't work towards securing shit.
“A physical impossibility”
So thought some about landing on the moon over 50 years ago.
To dream the impossible dream:
“A physical impossibility.”
More an economic impossibility…the inconvenient truth.
God, give me grace to accept with serenity that which can’t be changed…
How many billions of dollars are you willing to invest to get a temporarily more secure border?
How much more in taxes are you willing to pay?
How are you going to stop the tunnels, ladders, boats, airplanes?
Only to the imbeciles who won't try.
How many billions in taxes are you willing to shuck out to feed, clothe, give medical care to. educate, and house immigrants?
I don't want any money wasted on them.
Try what? There has never been a legitimate solution proposed for closing the border. All suggestions are either meaningless or ineffective.
Do you apply the same 'logic' to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, too?
Or to our national debt?
They would rather the world burn than even attempt to secure the border.
Their actions--or should I say inactions--prove that out.
I hope the Republicans keep at it until Biden caves. I also hope these illegal migrants keep showering up in liberal run states and sanctuary cities.
The Republicans sending migrants to sanctuary cities is one of the best political moves the GOP has made in years. Give Democrats a small taste of the results of their policies and watch them squirm. They need to keep it up until Biden can't stand the flack from his own party members.
Enough Democrats complaining (like in Chicago and New York) and Biden might realize his election chances are slipping away.
No, Biden's administration is furious that the gop is withholding Ukraine aid over the stupid border!
That is going to be tough shit for Biden then, isn't it?
The GOP has made it pretty freaking clear what needs to happen to fund Biden's proxy war against Putin.
The ball is in the WH's court.
They'll probably punt!
You know Biden is the president Of the USA, not UKraine, right?
Are we really sure who Biden is really working for?
What is stupid about the border?
"What are Biden's policies, Alex?"
“,,,,,,,over the stupid border!”
that pretty well sums up the dems view of our border and national security right there.
"Let Putin whoop up on Ukraine while we hold up funding over poison pill unrelated border bullshit", is gop blackmail. It is harmful to the security and best long term interests of the United States!
Oh bullshit, the biggest threat to our country, besides liberals, is china.
It's called politics.
The GOP isn't holding the funding for Ukraine up any more than Biden is.
While allowing an invasion at our southern border IS in the best interests of the US?
Why does Biden care more about Ukraine more than citizens?
How is what happens in Ukraine harmful to security and the best long term interest in the US that would justify taxpayers paying 130 billion and Biden looking for more?
So should we stop funding Ukraine AND Israel? Or just Ukraine? Why are you supporting Putin?
Ukraine is an ally of the USA, just like Israel, yet the right wing wants to suspend funding to Ukraine only. Can you explain that?
So you have no answer.
Cool
Why does Biden care more about Ukraine more than citizens?
How is what happens in Ukraine harmful to security and the best long term interest in the US that would justify taxpayers paying 130 billion and Biden looking for more?
You seem very knowledgeable about what Putin wants.

so many people never have any answers. It's argue and snark and play partisan games, that's all they have.
I do not understand what you are talking about? The Ukrainian summer counteroffensive was/is a bust, Russia was too dug in for the counteroffensive to succeed as planned and winter is coming on fast - Ukraine and Russia are pretty much at a stale mate ..
I am also curious about a couple of things.. is Putin dieing? Has not Russia been crushed by the sanctions from the United States .. was not Russia running out of equipment and forced to use WWII era weapons [tanks for sure] .. How can there be all this smack talked about the weakness of Russia, yet Russia is whooping Ukraine while the 'we' holds up the money ...? Some individuals need to make up their minds on what propaganda should be spread by the media..
I certainly do not want to hand Putin a win, yet I am not sure how much of a win it would be, he has had Crimea since 2014 .. the Donbas region has been fighting against Ukraine since 2014. That region has been heavily influenced by Russia for a long time.
P.s... I recently read that Ukraine cannot win the war now, but by 2025 winning could be possible...Fighter jets may be the answer, but so far Ukraine has lost a lot of equipment with only small gains made in the past year. How many billions can be sent to a nation that actually needs help on the ground, manpower and strategic assistance - throwing money at this problem will not make Ukraine suddenly have a chance to force Russia out.
Money will however allow Zelensky to pay expenses .. meanwhile the US is borrowing money for Zelensky to pay said expenses. it tis a money pit...

If brain dead Biden spent money on the border in the first place the Repubs would not have to resort to this to try and get brain dead Biden to do what is right for security and best long term interests of the United States!
That shows how badly the Biden gang wants to keep that border open. It was Biden that attached border security to his foreign aid bill. The problem was that the money that Biden wants for the border doesn't really go to securing the border. It goes to processing migrants and making them comfortable.
"No, Biden's administration is furious that the gop is withholding Ukraine aid over the stupid border!"
So you don't consider the "stupid border" to be of any concern or a threat to our national security?
We can't even get most Democrats to even admit that there is a border problem, let alone working on something that would help to fix the crisis they claim doesn't exist.
THAT has to be one OF THE DUMBEST comments I've seen.
PLEASE stop challenging them.
Don't tell me you haven't been curious about how far they will go.
Stupid was anyone believing Mexico would pay for Trump's stupid ineffective outdated shit wall!
And yet, millions more coming under the wondrous policies of Joe Biden.
Truly stupid would be believing that Joe Biden gives a flying fuck about the border or the pains he has put taxpaying Americans through due to his stupidity.
Oh, and by the way, is the portion of wall Biden has said he'd build also stupid, ineffective, outdated, and shitty, or did that change miraculously because Biden is a Democrat?
“,,,,,,,ineffective outdated shit wall!”
take a football field. This field has a 30’ high wall at the 50 yard line. You are in one end zone. You have to go to the other end zone without going out of bounds. Would it be easier to do this without a wall at the 50 yard line, or with a wall at the 50 yard line? Would you still say a wall is ineffective?
Depends on what Joe and his minions say.
I suppose this is what passes as "good for America" to some misguided folks.
If brain dead Biden was so concerned about history remembering someone harshly he might want to do something so history doesn't remember him as the worst president in history.
