This is real. This is the actual letter, republican speaker Mike Johnson has sent to the Biden administration saying, he will not send aid to Ukraine, before the funds run out at New Years, unless Joe Biden magically solves the problems of illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels.
These are problems which have existed for decades — under Reagan even. Now he wants them solved before Christmas, or there will be no aid.
The entire Kremlin must be laughing and dancing in celebration.
@randahl The US government has been trying to find a compromise on immigration reform for at least 25 years without success regardless of who group of idiots holds the majority at the moment.
Johnson is a scary dude with a majority so slim that he's basically hamstrung on almost every issue. He's not going to get what he wants, but he's going to cause a lot of suffering while he tries.
In his latest video on the war in Ukraine Jake Broe nails it on the immigration issue and the USA.

The only way to end immigration is by not employing illegal immigrants.
The only way that happens is when you *imprison* employers profiting off illegal immigrants.
That is not going to happen.
Jake Broe was spot on. The US has illegal immigration, because employees offer work to illegal immigrants, thereby keeping prices down in the farming sector.
