Nebraska’s U.S. Senatorial delegation will not be among those supporting the National Security Supplemental bill containing new money and Presidential authority for border security, as well as billions in funding for Ukraine and Israel.
Both Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts have come out against the compromise legislation, details of which were finally released late Sunday by Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
In her statement, Fischer said she cannot vote for a bill that funds the security of other nations while leaving our own border security in jeopardy.
In his, Ricketts said any legislation must force border security and stop mass parole of illegal aliens, but instead, the lead Democrat negotiator is boasting about how under this bill the ‘border never closes.’
Schumer has scheduled a vote on the measure Wednesday, but has said it would be called off if it was clear the measure did not have the support of 60 or more Senators, which would be needed to invoke cloture and force a vote on the bill.
