The negotiation for Ukraine funding did not include a path to citizenship, which has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years but has failed to help undocumented Americans. This approach is outdated, as it was last used in 2013.

The Senate leaders are heading to Kyiv with $61 billion, possibly in cash, while our border is being invaded by 800,000 illegal immigrants in the last month. They had no time or money to address the border issue, but managed to prepare the money, load the planes, and get ready for their trip to Kyiv.

Democrats have admitted there's a problem at the border, evidenced by Joe Biden's appointment of someone to address it. This appointee has done nothing and made the situation worse by focusing on root causes instead of solutions. She doesn't seem to care about the 300,000 children trafficked into the country by human and drug traffickers. Fentanyl is killing children and young people across the nation.

Congress has talked about this issue for a long time, and I'm glad the question was finally called. However, it's disappointing that some people, who support Ukraine and Israel, prioritized politics over our national security interests. I'm still shocked by their decision.

We need comprehensive immigration reform because there is currently no path to citizenship for the 11 to 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. It's irresponsible not to have a plan for these individuals. Although there have been bipartisan agreements, the current administration refuses to sign them. The president has created a false narrative about a border crisis, using it to justify his focus on building a wall, which has stalled government operations and affected workers.

The negotiation for Ukraine funding did not include a path to citizenship, which has been a failed strategy for the Democrats for 30 years. The focus should be on helping undocumented Americans in the country, but the old tactics from 2013 are no longer relevant.

Republicans must make a decision on the strongest border bill ever, as doing nothing is not an option. The former president opposes the bill because he wants to use the border problem as a political issue against me. It is widely acknowledged that the American people want a solution that ends the ineffective political rhetoric.

6 Democrats voted against a bill because Donald Trump preferred to campaign on the problem rather than solve it. The speaker believes the American people want solutions and a president focused on fixing issues, not playing political games. The bill in question would have allowed 1,800,000 illegal immigrants into the country annually, which many conservatives opposed.

The speaker states that an historic flood of undocumented immigrants crossed the border during the first three years of the administration, with arrivals quadrupling from the last year of President Trump. The speaker asks if it was a mistake to loosen immigration policies. The other speaker responds that the policies proposed are about fixing a problem, not promoting one. The first speaker reiterates that the numbers quadrupled. The other speaker claims that they have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half, as well as the flow of fentanyl by half, but that Congress needs to act to fix the problem.

We must not abandon Ukraine or allow NATO to weaken. It goes against our national interests and the promises we've made. We need Congress to pass funding for NATO as soon as possible.

House Republicans will continue to push the Save Act, which aims to ensure legal and constitutional elections. Republicans claim nearly every Democrat opposes the Save Act and wants "illegals" to vote. They intend to include secure elections as part of government funding discussions. Republicans will fight for this principle along with border security. Chuck Schumer has failed to put anything on the floor to ensure only legal American citizens are able to vote and has refused to pass HR 2, the Secure the Border Act, to return to Trump's border policies. Kamala Harris owns the economic, national security, and humanitarian open border crisis that her policies created.

To pass my amendment, the Senate must remove Democrat leaders blocking it. I propose a vote on whether American taxpayer money should be used to fly illegal immigrants from Venezuela and Haiti into the US. President Biden has secretly flown 320,000 illegal aliens into Blue City airports in 2023. Vote against me to stop this practice. Time has expired.

The American people should be proud of their support for Ukraine. We will continue supplying Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment, including $200 million that I just approved. However, without additional funding, our ability to help Ukraine respond to urgent demands is coming to an end. We need Ukraine to fix its broken immigration system, and Congress needs to do the same at home. Holding Ukraine funding hostage to push a partisan agenda on the border is not the solution. We need real solutions.

Immigration is an issue with working-class voters because of the lack of progress we've made. Republicans weaponize this lack of progress. Last year, there was a bipartisan bill that the Republican majority in the Senate and the House were willing to pass, and President Biden was willing to work with them on it, but Donald Trump told them not to solve the problem. Republicans do not want to solve any issues with immigration. They are completely uninterested in addressing undocumented people or a path to citizenship. Republicans authorized the complete gutting of due process. They understand that they don't even have the infrastructure to deport people, so they are creating private prison camp pipelines.

It's common sense that we have many migrants here illegally who have committed crimes. It's hard to understand why anyone would defend allowing them to stay in the country. If you're here illegally and committing crimes, it's not controversial to say they should go. This issue was significant in the election. In the Senate, there are 47 members, and if we can't secure at least 7 votes, that's part of the reason for our loss. It's crucial to recognize the importance of addressing this issue effectively.

There is a lot of talk about impeaching DHS Secretary Mayorkas. The impeachment inquiries and hearings are important because they expose what is happening and the mainstream media has not covered it. Democrats are negotiating now because they want Ukraine funding and they realize there is political risk with the open border. The media can no longer hide the issues, such as the destruction of New York City and displaced school children. This creates political pressure to pass laws and force the president to do a better job securing the border.

The president's bill includes support for Israel, Ukraine, the southern border, and Taiwan. It seems like a favorable bill for both Republicans and Democrats. Regarding Ukraine, the question is whether the United States should fund it at the levels proposed by President Biden. However, it's worth noting that the money allocated for the border aims to process more illegal immigrants rather than address the root of the problem, potentially worsening the situation.

Democrats acknowledge the need for a secure border, but concerns arise over the movement of illegal immigrants to swing states. Some fear this could lead to a coordinated effort to provide these individuals with services and a pathway to citizenship, ultimately influencing voting patterns in favor of Democrats. Immigration remains a contentious issue, with historical insights suggesting that meaningful reform is unlikely due to its political utility. Past bipartisan efforts have failed, often due to opposition. The conversation highlights the significant impact of immigration on states like Texas, raising questions about the long-term implications for political dynamics in the U.S.

The media and our Democrat friends kept pushing for new border legislation, insisting it was the only solution. However, it seems all we truly needed was a change in presidential leadership.

The speaker criticizes the act of withholding Ukraine funding to push a partisan agenda on the border, stating that it is not the right approach. They emphasize the need for genuine solutions.

President Biden is facing backlash from Republicans and former Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema over allegations of stealing $105 million from Arizona. Sinema had previously held up Biden's inflation bills, concerned about excessive spending and its impact on inflation. In exchange for her support, she secured $100 million to strengthen the border in Arizona. However, Senate leader Chuck Schumer and House leader Hakeem Jeffries redirected the funds to New York, allegedly to support illegal immigrants residing in posh hotels with meals, cell phones, and other amenities. While conspiracy theories suggest this is a strategy to gain Democratic voters, the documented fact remains that Biden approved the diversion of funds from the border crisis to improve conditions for illegal immigrants in New York.

Earlier today, military officers were warned about the potential consequences of unresolved issues on Capitol Hill. It was emphasized that if Republicans in the Senate do not show seriousness in finalizing a national security agreement, Vladimir Putin could take advantage and advance through Ukraine and Europe. Both parties acknowledge the importance of aiding Ukraine and resisting Putin for national security. However, Republicans are holding up progress due to unrealistic demands on border security. Democrats are willing to find a compromise, but if Republicans continue to insist on Donald Trump's border policies, they will be responsible for the failure of agreements on aid to Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian aid to Gaza. It is crucial for Republicans to show willingness to moderate and reach a reasonable bipartisan compromise.

Since Joe Biden became president, the US government has spent billions of dollars on an undeclared war against Russia without explaining its purpose or benefits. The war has resulted in Ukraine receiving billions of dollars in aid, but it has not been successful in ending the conflict. Ukraine is unable to defeat Russia, and the rest of the world is aware of this. However, US media continues to falsely claim that Ukraine is winning. Republican leaders like Mitch McConnell are pushing for more funding to Ukraine, despite opposition from the majority of American voters. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizes the funding, highlighting the country's own issues and the lack of support from the American people.

Why don’t we just clean up the border? Biden has the power to do that, but the asylum backlog is overwhelming due to increased immigration. Many cases don’t lead to deportation because they’re often approved for asylum. The current administration is influenced by special interests, which complicates immigration policy. There’s a significant number of people applying for asylum at the border, and many enter the U.S. on visitor visas before seeking asylum, exploiting a loophole. While some argue deportation is necessary, it doesn’t align with the Democratic Party platform, which is shaped by those who fund the party. This influence affects how immigration issues are addressed.

It's common sense that we have many migrants here illegally who have committed crimes. It's hard to understand why anyone would defend allowing them to stay in the country. If someone is here illegally and engages in criminal activity, they should be removed. This issue was significant in the recent election. In the Senate, with 47 members, if we can't secure at least 7 votes on this matter, it reflects why we lost. This is one of the reasons for our defeat. Brett, consider that perspective; it's a crucial point being made.
