In a decisive blow to the uniparty effort to pass comprehensive border security legislation, House Speaker Mike Johnson declared the Senate’s proposed border deal ‘dead on arrival’ should it reach the floor of the House of Representatives.
Senate leaders unveiled the details of the long-awaited border security bill on Sunday, which also encompasses a significant foreign aid package. The negotiations were spearheaded by Senators James Lankford (R-OK), Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), and Chris Murphy (D-CT).
According to Democrat Senator Patty Murray, the $118.28 billion national security supplemental package includes:
-
Foreign Aid Commitments:
- $60.06 billion in support for Ukraine amidst Russian aggression
- $14.1 billion in security assistance for Israel
- $2.44 billion to address U.S.
