Speaker Johnson pushes to couple Ukraine aid and border: ‘Take care of our own border first’

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Sunday argued it “makes sense” to couple Ukraine aid with funding for the U.S.-Mexico border.

“We have to take care of our own border first,” Johnson said during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

That was in response to Democratic chairs of leading congressional caucuses who said on Saturday, “Republicans cannot move their extreme, cruel immigration agenda through the regular legislative process, so they’re trying to make an end-run around Congress and exploit two foreign wars to force it into law.”

“What this is about is advancing the agenda and first priorities of the American people. I don’t know which Democrat gave you that absurd quote, but they clearly are not listening to their constituents,” Johnson told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream. “If you go out into the country people will say, ‘Look we understand our role as a leader in the free world, and we understand that we’re the great superpower that needs to assist and ensure that freedom survives, but we have to take care of our own house first.’”
