Here's an idea — if the Democrats want $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, maybe they could compromise on the U.S. border; heck, even Sen. John Fetterman said he was open to an honest discussion. But the Republicans' demand for some attention to border security is holding up aid to Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy chided Congress for dragging its feet:

The Biden administration has seemed to take a new tack: President Joe Biden said if Putin takes Ukraine, the next thing he'll do is invade one of our NATO allies and we'll have to send troops. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said last week that if lawmakers fail to pass more aid to Ukraine, it will "very likely" lead to U.S. troops on the ground in Europe defending NATO allies in other countries Russia may target next. NSC spokesman John Kirby told reporters that if they think the price of funding Ukraine is high, "just imagine how much higher it's gonna be … in American blood."

Sen. Chris Murphy appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday and upped the stakes even higher:

Guess Democrats had better compromise on the "far-right" immigration demands the GOP is making if that's the case.

Why is the Biden administration so adamant about keeping the border open? What's Biden's immigration policy, besides letting everybody in?

None of them do … with the exception of the mayors of blue cities who are being overwhelmed with illegal immigrants. Even they're calling on the Biden administration to get the border under control.
