President Joe Biden asked the House of Representatives to pass an aid package for Israel’s war against Hamas and Speaker Mike Johnson delivered. The Republican majority gave Biden what he sought on Israel. But now the president says it isn’t good enough.
Biden is not alone in being guilty. Johnson himself tried to link Ukraine and border security, making the same political calculation as Biden that doing so would make it more likely to pass. “It’s just a matter of principle that, if we’re going to take care of a border in Ukraine, we need to take care of America’s border as well.” This is not principal, it's a political stretch.
This is true, which is why Ukraine deserves its own vote as soon as possible. That won't happen, however, if Ukraine aid is tied to border security. The House has passed good border security legislation, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. It would end Biden’s abuse of parole power, force him to reinstate the successful"Remain in Mexico" program, and reform the asylum process so protection was reserved for migrants truly facing persecution based on race, religion, or nationality.
