The first border bill was brought to Congress when the Democrats controlled the House and Senate. Don’t blame the Republicans. The second border bill was $118 billion including:
- About $60 billion in military aid for Ukraine
- $14.1 billion in aid for Israel
- $4.83 billion in aid for the Indo-Pacific region
- $10 billion in humanitarian assistance for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, among other places
- $2.3 billion in refugee assistance inside the U.S.
- $20.2 billion for improvements to U.S. border security
- $2.72 billion for domestic uranium enrichment
Can you really call it a border bill?
