"Speaker Johnson Urges Linking Ukraine Aid and Border Security: Prioritize Our Own Border First"

House Speaker Mike Johnson argues that it is logical to couple Ukraine aid with funding for the U.S.-Mexico border, stating that the American people prioritize securing their own border. He criticizes Democrats for not listening to their constituents and emphasizes the need to address the growing number of illegal border crossings and the issues associated with it, such as fentanyl smuggling and human trafficking. Johnson also discusses his commitment to passing appropriations bills and changing the way Washington works to be more accountable and transparent. He defends the House Republicans' proposal to offset spending for emergency funding for Israel and criticizes the antisemitism that has emerged in the country.
