China gets paid back because the tin horn dictators of the world know what would happen to them if the defaulted on a loan to the ChiComs.

These ‘immigrants’ are paying the narco terrorists in Mexico 20-25,000 each to bring them across the border.

Democrats in the WH and Congress give legitimate governments reasons not to trust the USA to stand behind them. Democrats support their enemies, the Communist so few want to go out on a limb fighting the Communists. The same is true about areas invaded by terrorists. The average family waits to see who is going to win, the government or the terrorists.
