‘Don’t be fooled’: Here's what's actually in the new 'border' bill

Do not be fooled by the Senate’s new “border” bill, because it has very little to do with the border.

“It’s actually a multibillion-dollar war package,” Glenn Beck warns. “Now, it does have some stuff to do with the border, depending on who you talk to; it’s both amazing for the border and the worst piece of immigration legislation in history.”

The Senators revealed that the bill is a $118 billion emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which would give $60 billion in aid to Ukraine while only giving $20 billion to securing the U.S. southern border.

It also gives $14 billion in security assistance to Israel and $10 billion in humanitarian assistance for civilians caught in the conflict zones of Gaza.

But that’s not all. Almost $5 billion is going to support key regional partners in the Indo-Pacific to deter China, $2.5 billion is going to support the U.S. Central Command operations in the Red Sea, and $2.3 billion is going to Ukrainians and other displaced refugees.

It would also require the Department of Homeland Security to “nearly” shut down the border.

“It means that we’re not going to shut down the border, but nearly do it,” Glenn mocks, before explaining that they won’t shut down the border unless the number of migrant crossers increases more than 5,000 a day, or if they reach 4,000 people a day in a one-week span.

“So, if there’s 4,000 people for six days, they can’t shut down the border,” Glenn says.
