Jack, sign the petition to Congress: Don't jeopardize Ukraine aid for GOP's anti-immigrant wish list.

Without Congress approving additional funds to help Ukraine by December 31, the United States will soon run out of money for the effort. But Republicans are stalling this aid by demanding draconian asylum, parole, and detention policies at the U.S.-Mexico border.

This is unacceptable. Ukraine's fight for sovereignty against an aggressive neighbor warrants international support. As President Biden's budget director warned, failure to act before the end of the year would “kneecap” Ukraine on the battlefield.

The anti-immigrant policies Republicans want would separate families at the border, and are irrelevant to funding Ukraine. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said these demands are being "dictated by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller." And as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, it sets a "very dangerous precedent to exchange domestic policy for foreign policy."

Congress must fund the Ukraine effort, without conditions. It's wrong for Republicans to hijack this crucial aid to push their unrelated immigration law changes.
