Shocking Number of House Republicans Vote for Massive 'America Last' Spending Package Leah BarkoukisLeah Barkoukis Posted: May 11, 2022 7:00 AM
The House overwhelmingly supported sending $40 billion in aid to Ukraine on Tuesday, 368-57, prompting a harsh reaction from critics given the multiple crises that are going unaddressed at home.
Particularly, conservatives took issue with the 149 Republicans who joined every single Democrat in passing the bill while inflation continues to soar, the border crisis is ongoing, and our nation’s most vulnerable population—infants—can’t get the food they need.

Ukraine Weapons Bill OKs More Migration Republican legislators helped ordinary Americans by killing two of three pro-migration plans in the Democrats’ bill to deliver $17 billion in weaponry to Ukraine.
In closed-door talks, GOP legislators blocked plans to award green cards to many Russian college graduates and roughly 40,000 Afghans — and eventually, to their families. Their arrival would help investors and employers but would deflate ordinary Americans’ wages and inflate their housing costs.
But there is bad news for Americans — the GOP did not block funding for the movement of many Ukrainian migrants into the United States.
The Ukrainians are entering via the parole side door in the border that is being forced open by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas. The funding support covers all Ukrainians admitted until September 2023.
