Mike Garcia: 'We Need To Put Our Border As A Priority Over The Borders Of Other Nations First'

Published | Video Starts at 00:25

I think that's a very important conversation. I want to dive a little deeper, specifically into the Ukraine funding debate. There seems to be two islands right now. There's an island that says we will do whatever it takes, sort of a blank check mentality that this president has adopted, and another island that is basically stating not a dollar more, not a dime more in support of Ukraine. I think there's a place in the middle that allows us to still defeat Russia, make sure that we secure Ukraine, but also focusing on the priorities like our border and not the expense of those things.
