Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky appeared on The Larry Kudlow Show this weekend and criticized leaders in Congress for pouring billions in spending to defend other countries' borders abroad while leaving America's southern border wide open.
Millions of Americans across the country agree with Rand Paul on this matter. Why is this so hard for Republican leaders to understand?
This is not a big jump. It's just common sense.
Text via Real Clear Politics:
Sin. RAND PAUL: I would say it's criminally negligent for Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and Joe Biden to come together to send $100 billion abroad to fix someone's borders before we fix our own. We have an emergency. We have an invasion and 700,000 people have come in the last two months, and they are here to bet on it. They made a bogus offer, it wasn't good and we rejected it. That doesn't mean we're willing to give up, and many of us want to fight. 32 of us out of 38, three-quarters of us, wanted to keep fighting and wanted to actually fix the border before we shipped $100 billion of our money overseas.
I haven't met anyone in Kentucky nor any conservatives across the country who support this, but the Senate leadership under Mitch McConnell is more interested in sending your money to Ukraine than they are in invading the southern border, and I've had enough and I will do everything I can to slow this down and stop it and I told them that They can vote when hell freezes over. Because frankly this is not in the best interest of our country and money must be borrowed.
We don't have $100 billion. We borrow $1.5 trillion, and they will borrow another $100 billion. We're basically $100 billion, and of course we're asking China to send money to Ukraine.

Rand Paul gets it. Why doesn't Mitch McConnell? This is not rocket science.
