Senator Mike Lee has vocally opposed a proposed $95 billion aid bill for Ukraine, criticizing it for neglecting U.S. border security. Lee argued on the Senate floor, pointing out overlooked issues in the bill and urging Republicans to oppose cloture. He highlighted that 41 Senate Republicans can stop the bill, which requires bipartisan support to pass. Lee also criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his effectiveness in passing Democratic policies and stressed that the bill uses taxpayers' money to secure foreign borders.
Any group of 41 senators can stop the Ukraine bill today—either permanently or until such time as provisions actually compelling the Biden administration to secure the border can be added to it. Democrats can’t pass this on their own—41 Republicans can stop it.
Senator Lee has now been speaking on the Senate floor for 3 hours denouncing Ukraine funding without real border security. https://t.co/n2ebZmAjOA
Senator Mike Lee is STILL SPEAKING on the Senate floor. He has been there for hours fighting for the American people. He is fighting against sending more foreign aid to Ukraine. We need more senators who will put #AmericaFirst.🇺🇸 Thank you @BasedMikeLee @SenMikeLee🙏🙏🙏 https://t.co/KQ47QzydOX
I am taking the senate floor right now to battle against sending any more funding to Ukraine while our border remains broken. We cannot betray our commitment to the American people. Watch now: https://t.co/VZd96kGqAw
In a few minutes I will take to the Senate floor to speak about the Ukraine aid bill for a few hours (I have much to say). Tune into CSPAN2 if you’re curious. Remember, 41 Republicans can still stop this bill.

Sen. Mike Lee argues against $95 billion foreign aid bill that forces taxpayers to secure other nations borders while the American border remains wide open: "We’re willing to spend that on Ukraine’s border security why not ours?” https://t.co/hP0nCO00s3
If just 41 Senate Republicans oppose cloture on the Ukraine aid bill tomorrow, they can stop it from passing. Democrats can’t pass this thing on their own. Republicans have to help them do it.
Mitch McConnell has been very effective at passing Democratic policies into law. He’s hoping to add this Ukraine bill to his long list of accomplishments on that front. If you don’t want that to happen, please remind your Republican senators that any 41 of them can stop this!
The Senate wants to send your money to Ukraine—a lot of it. The bill has some serious problems that are being overlooked. I spoke at length about those problems tonight in the Senate, and plan to do the same tomorrow. It takes hours even to summarize what’s wrong with it. https://t.co/rUJcDih6gG
