However, she took the opportunity to passionately advocate for aiding Ukraine in the name of US national security.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The one thing I do take \u2063issue with is Americans want their national \u2062security taken care of. We agree\u2064 with\u2064 that. What happens \u2063if Putin marches through Ukraine?\u200c What\u2019s next? NATO countries,&#8221; \u2062Young \u200csaid. &#8220;Our sons and daughters are at risk of being a part of a larger conflict and it\u2019s not just Putin, other dictators watching what Congress is \u2064doing. What is \u2014 what signal does that \u2063send?\u2063 So our national security is also influence with not providing Ukraine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Young skillfully spun the\u200d argument to justify President Joe Biden&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thousands-of-palestinian-protesters-converge-outside-white-house-demanding-ceasefire\/\" title=\"Palestinian protesters gather outside White House, demanding ceasefire.\">supplemental funding proposal<\/a>\u2064 to Congress, which recommends allocating $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 \u200dbillion to Israel.<\/p>\n<h3>Ukraine&#8217;s Ongoing Conflict and US Support<\/h3>\n<p>Ukraine \u2064has been engaged in a conflict against Russia for nearly two years. During this time, the US has\u200b provided $44 billion in aid to support Ukraine&#8217;s fight.<\/p>\n<h3>Border Security \u2063Challenges and Controversies<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, \u2063Customs and Border Protection faced a significant challenge as almost 241,000 immigrants attempted to cross \u200bthe border at ports of entry in October. Although this number was slightly lower than September&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/soros-backed-das-face-nationwide-backlash\/\" title=\"Soros-Backed DAs Face Nationwide Backlash\">record-breaking figure<\/a> of \u2062nearly \u200b270,000, it still highlights\u200c the ongoing issue.<\/p>\n<p>Since President Biden took \u2062office, over 10 \u200cmillion immigrants have reportedly entered the country illegally,\u200c marking\u200c the highest number recorded during the \u2063same timeframe of any administration.<\/p>\n<p>The House recently \u200cpassed a bill to reduce Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas&#8217;s\u2064 salary due to concerns\u2063 over his handling \u2064of the immigration\u2063 influx. However, it is unlikely to\u200b pass \u200dthe Senate, which \u2063is controlled by a Democratic majority. Another \u2062attempt to impeach Mayorkas \u2062has been tabled.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding \u2063the Border Wall<\/h3>\n<p>In August, the White House made the controversial \u2064decision to auction\u200b off unused portions of the border wall \u200binstead of storing \u2063them. This move came after President Biden\u200d halted former President Donald Trump&#8217;s efforts to build the wall at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Storing the unused parts of the wall was costing $130,000 daily, totaling $47 million a year over the nearly \u200cthree years of Biden&#8217;s presidency. Instead, the White House sold nearly 700 lots for millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>For \u200cmore information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to\u200b visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does providing aid to Ukraine directly impact\u2064 the safeguarding of US\u200c national security interests and credibility in the \u200dglobal arena<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ckquote><\/p>\n<p>During her appearance on Face the Nation, Shalanda Young, the Office of Management and \u2064Budget Director, addressed American concerns regarding border security. However, she also took the opportunity to \u200bfervently advocate \u200bfor providing aid to\u200b Ukraine in the name of US national security.<\/p>\n<p>Young expressed her \u200ddisagreement with the notion that Americans want their national\u2064 security to be taken care of, emphasizing that they agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly. She went on to highlight the potential consequences if Ukraine is left unsupported in the face of aggression \u2062from\u200b Russian President Vladimir Putin. Young posed the question of what would happen if Putin were to march through Ukraine and proceed to target NATO countries. This scenario could put the lives of American sons and daughters at risk, potentially dragging the United States into a larger and more dangerous conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Young stressed the significance\u2064 of the message \u2064that\u200d withholding aid to Ukraine would send to other dictators who closely observe the actions and decisions made by the US Congress. By not providing the necessary \u2064assistance, there is a risk of signaling weakness and a \u200clack of determination to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gabriella-hoffman-politicians-act-to-bar-ccp-from-buying-u-s-farmland\/\" title=\"Gabriella Hoffman: Politicians Act to Bar CCP from Buying U.S. Farmland\">protect national security interests<\/a>. This could embolden other dictators who may interpret\u2062 such inaction as a green light to pursue their own aggressive agendas.<\/p>\n<p>According to Young, it is crucial to recognize that national security extends beyond physical borders. By failing to provide aid to Ukraine, the United \u200bStates would not only \u2062leave Ukrainian citizens vulnerable \u200dbut also compromise its own influence and credibility in\u2064 the global arena. Young&#8217;s passionate plea for supporting \u2062Ukraine underscores the strong belief that such assistance is linked directly to the safeguarding of US national security interests.<\/p>\n<p>As the Office of Management and Budget Director, Shalanda Young brings a unique perspective to discussions on national security and\u2062 emphasizes the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/buttigieg-says-transportation-department-working-to-avert-summer-travel-disruptions-amid-demand-surge\/\" title=\"Buttigieg: Transportation Dept. Preventing Summer Travel Disruptions Amid High Demand.\">taking proactive measures<\/a> to safeguard American interests. Her passionate advocacy for\u200d providing aid to Ukraine should resonate with policymakers \u2063and citizens alike, reminding them of the interconnectedness of global security and the impact that decisions made in Washington can have on the lives of Americans and allies\u2063 abroad.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, Shalanda Young&#8217;s appearance \u200bon Face the Nation not only addressed concerns related to border security but also highlighted the \u2063urgent need to support Ukraine. Her impassioned plea for aid underscored the\u200c potential risks of inaction and emphasized the importance of US credibility\u2062 and influence in an increasingly complex and interconnected\u200d world. \u200cAs discussions and debates \u200bcontinue, it is\u200b essential to heed Young&#8217;s call and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-funding-request-includes-75b-for-ukraine-and-israel\/\" title=\"Biden seeks B for Ukraine and Israel in funding request.\">prioritize national security interests<\/a> by providing assistance to Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young defended US national security by advocating for assistance to Ukraine.
