It will not be possible to reach agreement on the security of the US southern border until December 25, says Republican Senator John Cornyn.

The US Congress will likely delay consideration of legislation to help Ukraine and US border security until next year. The Hill writes about this .

Thus, Republican Senator John Cornyn, a member of the leadership team of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, told reporters that additional funding for Ukraine will likely be delayed until 2024. According to him, until December 25 it will not be possible to reach an agreement on the security of the US southern border.

Asked if there was time left this year to reach an agreement on border security reform and military aid to Ukraine, Cornyn responded briefly: “No.

At the same time, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said that it would be “virtually impossible” to pass this bill. He also called on President Biden to become more involved in the stalled negotiations.

“All I said is that even if we reached an agreement, it would be virtually impossible to work it out, get it through the Senate, get it through the House of Representatives by Christmas. That doesn’t mean it’s not important,” he stressed

  1. Shit!!! I wish we would put the MAGA politicians on the front line. Front line of the ors then we can shoot at the bastards.

    • The last I saw, it wasn’t the MAGA crowd that was president of the United States. You know very well if Trump was president now and the Dems were stalling on something…who would be to blame? That’s right. The president. He is the commander in chief and can make any deal he wants…but he doesn’t want to. Have you even heard him talk about Ukraine lately?

          • Yeah, it’s a real shame that he and his entire staff don’t have a damned thing to say in this regard. It’s just one more strategic failure.

      • I disagree Sir Red. I don’t see the vile crap from the dems that the MAGA crowd says…trump jr., Ukraine already lost the war, Sen Vance, Ukraine needs to give up land to Russia and the list goes on and on and on. No Sir, this shit is stirred up by Trump et al.

        • Yeah, there’s nothing Biden or the Dems could have done to help Ukraine more in 2014 and even up to the end of December 2023. Its all Trump’s fault even though he wasn’t president in 5 of those 9 years. I get it…
