Rand Paul was right: Most voters want to protect our border before Ukraines – Washington Examiner
Earlier this month, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke against sending more taxpayer money to Ukraine in foreign aid deals. As part of his argument, Paul mentioned that before we spend money helping other nations, we should first remedy the problems plaguing this country, specifically the crisis at the border and illegal immigration.
This bill is Ukraine first and America last. I think the American people agree with me, Paul said then. Its about showing America that we care about your sovereignty, we care about your tax dollars, and we think that the priority should be here. The priority should be our border.
It turns out Paul was right. Most voters want politicians to secure our border before we secure Ukraines. With our countrys border deterioration since Joe Biden became president, its a logical conclusion. Yet it hasnt stopped the nations elected officials from sending billions of dollars in taxpayer money for a war that has nothing to do with the nations security.
According to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports, 67% of likely voters agree with protecting our countrys border before we protect a foreign countrys. While this should be the norm during any year, it is particularly relevant in the perilous times we live in with the troubles at the border, given the record number of illegal immigrants entering the country.

Having politicians prioritize the United States before writing the latest check to fund the globalist agenda is a novel concept. Paul knew this, as did several other Republicans, such as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who made valid, logical arguments regarding aid to Ukraine.
Imagine if all of our nations politicians prioritized the needs of America. What a wonderful country it would be if they listened to the will of the people who voted them into office, not the desires of special interest groups or elitists.
