Biden Threatens to Veto Bill That Would Help Israel but Not Ukraine
nytimes.com
President Biden vowed on Monday to veto a House Republican bill that would provide $17.6 billion in aid to Israel, calling it a “cynical political maneuver” intended to hurt the chances of passage for broader legislation that would provide money for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan and the U.S. border.
House Republicans fiercely oppose the larger bill, which was unveiled by a small, bipartisan group of senators over the weekend. It calls for $118.3 billion in spending and would overhaul some of the nation’s immigration laws to deal with recent surges of migrants at the southern border.

The conservatives have been trotting out the "southern border crisis" red herring for so long that The Democrats were the first party to do it in the US. They keep doing it because it works. Those of us that live next to the border, like I do, can tell everyone back east that there's no problem, but if one racist asshole starts yelling, there's a whole bunch of racist assholes that live 2000 miles away that get scared and riled up.
what conservatives are upset about is often legal migrants and sometimes tourists. Its more transparent when cons talk about black people as "black culture". They say its the "illegals" they're worried about, but I doubt any rich republican employs less than 6 "Illegals" because I haven't met a rich person that paid a fair wage. Its always been unserious.
