White House wants Congress to spend six times more on Ukraine than border, fentanyl crisis in new request | Fox News
The Biden administration is requesting Congress spend six times more on supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia than on the border and fentanyl crisis plaguing the nation, according to a new emergency
spending request submitted Thursday.
In the request sent to House Speaker
Kevin McCarthy, Biden specifically called for $24 billion in aide to Ukraine, split between $13 billion for defense related spending, and $11 billion in economic and humanitarian assistance.
But Biden only requested $4 billion in spending on the border and immigration, as well as combating fentanyl flowing into the United States from foreign origins. The total combined amount of the request reached roughly $40 billion.
The money cash machine for politicians at the expense of American citizens continues.
