In a fiery rebuttal, House Speaker Mike Johnson challenges President Joe Biden’s assertion that Congress must pass a $110 billion aid package, encompassing funds for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Johnson dismisses Biden’s claim that the proposed bill, if enacted, would still permit up to 150,000 illegal crossings per month, totaling 1.8 million annually, before triggering any border shutdown measures.
False Claims Exposed
” President Biden falsely claimed yesterday he needs Congress to pass a new law to allow him to close the southern border, but he knows that is untrue,” declared Johnson.
Executive Action vs. Congressional Inaction
Johnson asserts that Biden possesses the authority to take immediate executive action to address the border crisis without waiting for congressional approval. He emphasizes that he communicated this to Biden through a letter late last year and reiterated it on multiple occasions.
” As I explained to him in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since, he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created.”
Biden’s Executive Orders and Trump’s Critique
Recalling Biden’s first day in office when he signed executive orders undoing key border protections implemented by former President Trump, the speaker underscores the significant shift in the border policy. Trump, seizing the opportunity, criticizes Biden’s approach during a Las Vegas speech, promising a diferent stance if he returns to the presidency.
” When I’m President, instead of trying to send Texas a restraining order, I will send them REINFORCEMENTS!”
Analysis by David Sacks
The article incorporates insights from David Sacks, who dissects the intricacies of the situation. Sacks outlines the Neocons’ challenge in managing the fallout from the failed Spring-Summer Counteroffensive in Ukraine and the reluctance of House Republicans to allocate more funds. The plan to bundle Ukraine aid with border security faced a stumbling block when Senate Republicans turned the proposed security provisions into an amnesty bill.
” So what is the Administration to do? THere’s only ever one answer for that: blame Trump. Supposedly, he is responsible for Ukraine losing the war AND the southern border being overrun. In reality, Biden and his handlers have nobody to blame but themselves for both policies.”
In conclusion, the article delves into the complexities of the Ukraine-Israel funding controversy, intertwining with border security issues, and emphasizes the political blame game amidst the ongoing challenges at the southern border.
