Today, U.S. Congressman Madison Cawthorn (NC-11) introduced legislation stating that if President Biden sends any United States troops to the Russia/Ukraine border, he must also send the same number to the U.S./Mexico Border.

"The United States should be focused on our own borders, not the borders of nations around the world. If Joe Biden truly cared about the wellbeing of Americans, he would prioritize the United States' national security over the affairs of nations around the world. I do not want American soldiers in Ukraine or Russia, but if this administration takes action to send troops overseas, the very least we can do to secure our own nation is send the same number of troops to the U.S. Mexico border to augment the efforts of our border patrol agents working diligently to secure America despite the absence of the Biden Administration," said Congressman Madison Cawthorn
