House speaker says Senate border bill 'dead on arrival' if it reaches chamber: 'Even worse than we expected'
Fox News
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the Senate's bipartisan border security bill will be "dead on arrival" if it reaches the House.
The foreign aid portion of the agreement includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel and aid for Indo-Pacific allies. Johnson said he would put $17.6 billion in emergency funding for Israel in a standalone bill up for a vote on the House floor next week.
"I've seen enough," Johnson wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "This bill is even worse than we expected, and won't come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, 'the border never closes.'"
