My amendment will prohibit funding for the Uniting for Ukraine program. This is a streamlined, categorical parole process that allows an unlimited number of illegal aliens into our country from Ukraine. There have been over 9 million illegal aliens who have invaded our country since Joe Biden took office. It is unprecedented. Just last month, over 300,000 illegals invaded our country, the most ever recorded in a single month. Over this past weekend, Border Patrol reported there were over 11,000 illegal alien encounters in just a 24- hour period. I deeply sympathize with the innocent people in Ukraine, especially since our government is forcing a proxy war there by funding and fueling the war instead of pushing peace in this country.

We cannot afford to violate our own immigration laws on behalf of a global crisis, especially a global crisis that the United States Government is fueling and funding. The United States is fueling the war in Ukraine by sending tanks, ammunition, F-16s, and over $113 billion taxpayer dollars and counting, especially when the debate in Washington and the argument is about more money for Ukraine. The Uniting for Ukraine process grants mass categorical parole to these individuals, which is a complete violation of our own immigration laws.…
