Schumer : Why Ukraine Matters
Mr. Schumer talked about Ukraine, a faraway place. He said both Democrats and Republicans agree to help them. Imagine if you share your toys with a friend – it’s like that, but with countries helping each other.
The Border Situation
But wait! Some leaders want to talk about a place called the “border” first. It’s like a special line on a map. Mr. Schumer and his friends say, “Let’s help Ukraine and fix the border together.” Teamwork is important!
Mike Johnson’s Important Thoughts
Another leader, Mr. Mike Johnson, also spoke up. He said the border should be the “top priority.” That means they want to fix things there first. It’s like fixing a broken toy before playing with it.
Mr. Johnson Talks to Reporters
Mr. Johnson talked to reporters too. He thinks they need “substantive policy change” at the border. That’s a big phrase for making important rules to keep things fair and safe.
Schumer : A Warning About Details
It means they have to look closely at the plans. Sometimes, the details are tricky, like solving a puzzle.
Waiting for Proposals
Mr. Johnson said he doesn’t know exactly what the plans are yet. It’s akin to anticipating a surprise! He wishes the plans align closely with their prior discussions. Teamwork is like building something together!
The House and Senate Connection
They also talked about two places called the “House” and “Senate.” These are where grown-ups work together to make good decisions. It’s like your family talking about what’s best for everyone.
