Washington, D.C.- Today, Rep. Barry Moore stood in opposition to H.R. 8035, the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which aimed to provide an additional $61 billion to Ukraine, including $300 million for border security, but with no allocation for the southern border of the United States.

Speaking on his dissent, Moore expressed, "Instead of using the leverage we have to fix the number one issue Americans are concerned about, this legislation sends $61 billion more dollars to Ukraine on top of the $117 billion already sent with little oversight." He continued, "I oppose another blank check to Ukraine while we are $35 trillion in debt and our border has been overrun by more than nine million illegals. Americans are tired of being last on their government's list of priorities, and they deserve better."

Moore's stance reflects his concerns about the allocation of funds and priorities within the government, highlighting the need for a reevaluation of where taxpayer money is being directed.
