Sen Roger Marshall rallies Republicans to add 'meaningful' border security to House's foreign aid package

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas hopes House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., will incorporate Trump-era policies for Republican support in the House's foreign aid bill.

The Senate shot down a package that included border-related provisions early last week, saying it was "hardly" border security at all, and instead urged the Senate to take up the House's border policy, known as H.R. 2, which includes Trump-era restrictions and stricter screenings for asylum claims.  Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

"I would love to see Speaker Johnson take H.R. 2 and add it to the bill that we passed," Marshall told Fox News Digital in an interview Tuesday. "I think that's something that a super majority of Republicans could support."

Marshall said he was not happy with the Senate's passage of some $60 billion to Ukraine because of several instances of inadequate auditing of funds, but he said he is "willing to trade that in return for meaningful border security" if the House decides to attach Ukraine aid to their bill.
