For months, the Speaker had said that any assistance for Kyiv must be paired with legislation to address the situation at the southern border.

But in a change to his initial plan, the Speaker said he would move a separate border security bill as the House considered the foreign aid measures.....
He said the border security bill would move under a separate procedural rule from the Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan measures.

The House is expected to vote on the border bill in the coming days as part of Johnson’s plan to send aid to embattled U.S. allies.
But even if it passes the House it will face a dead end in the Senate, where many of the provisions are non-starters among Democrats.

The original legislation that the End the Border Catastrophe Act is based on — H.R. 2 — was immediately ignored by the Senate after the House passed the bill last May.

Johnson, nonetheless, is pitching the border bill as an “aggressive” measure ....
“We’re gonna push a very aggressive border security measure on the floor. It’s part of this whole process.
All these things are intertwined,” he told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “If you’re gonna talk about national security, and this is a national security supplemental package, you have to begin at our own border. And that’s what we’ve been saying over and over and over.”
“I think it’s gonna be a popular measure, and I expect we’re gonna vote that through with a big, sadly I think it’ll be a partisan vote, but I believe every Republican will support it, and then we will go out and tell the American people we’re still fighting for you,” he later added.
