Trump to cut foreign aid for home countries of illegal immigrants
Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2018

Posted on 05/23/2018 12:20:25 PM PDT by deplorableindc

President Trump announced Wednesday that the U.S. will begin to deduct foreign aid from countries whose residents illegally enter the United States.

"Many of these countries we give tremendous amounts of aid to. Tens of millions of dollars. And we're working on a plan to deduct a lot of the aid," Trump said at an event in New York denouncing the Salvadoran gang MS-13.

"We're going to work out something where every time someone comes in from a certain country, we're going to deduct a rather large amount of money from what we give them in aid, if we give them aid at all," Trump said. "We may just not give them aid at all."

Put them on an island off of el salvador. Lease the island for a buck a year. Let the country feen them. No gang activity as there’s no other gang to fight.

I don’t believe in coincidence. President Trump seems to be back in form with Giuliani at this side.

Way Cool! We have census data that will give us a general headcount by country of who’s hear illegally. Use that information and tell Mexico for starters that we will be deducting $100,000 per illegal Mexican here from our annual foreign aid stipend. Unfortunately, that may well end up being zero, or a negative number.
And on top of cutting off foreign aid, we need to start taxing remittances to Mexico. With both actions, we could threaten the collapse of Mexico’s financial institutions and it’s government, and that would be wonderful.

Australia sent boats full of illegal migrants to an offshore island. Their problem became much smaller.

>>If Mexico is smart, they’ll be drawing up plans for a wall any moment now.<<

Wait until we start taxing international wire money transfers.

Mexico and most of Latin America will crap their drawers!

Why not tally up the number of illegal alien children being educated in the US, and the number of illegals receiving food stamps, ADC, etc.

Do this by country, and then deduct the amount from foreign aid. If the country doesn’t receive foreign aid, or the bill is more than the foreign aid received, then bill them. We’re having to house, cloth, feed, and educate their citizens, so they should pay for that expense.

“My anger towards Congress has pegged the meter on the right though.”

I’m right there with you DO! In fact in my weaker moments, I wonder just how good it would be if a meteor were to hit our Capitol Building while both Houses were in session. But we, collectively, have put them there, and shame on us!

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!! STOP illegal aliens! Don’t worry about the ignorant Twitter “ruling” by the so-called “Judge”. All President Trump has to do is IGNORE the so-called “Judge” and block whomever he WANTS. The so-called “Judge” has violated the separation-of-powers doctrine, and the impotent “Judge” can in no way enforce his so-called “ruling” anyway. PERIOD!
