Turns out Barack Obama isn’t all that against building a border wall to keep out illegals after all.
Thing is, he wants illegals to enter America, he’s just not okay with them entering Mexico.
Looks like the U.S. is giving our neighbors to the south $75 million so they can build their own wall to protect themselves from Central American invaders.
From Conservative Tribune:
One of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s talking points in his campaign has that he wants to protect our borders. He wants to secure the American people from the dangers of illegal immigration and strengthen those borders by building a wall.
However, it seems that President Barack Obama wanted to do one lasting thing before leaving office, so he gifted Mexico $75 million … to help the Mexicans build a wall to improve their border security.
According to a Financial Times story cited by Newsmax, Mexico wanted to stop people from Central American countries like Guatemala from entering their country via its southern border.
More from Newsmax:
A Financial Times story details Mexico’s role in stopping people from getting into its country from Guatemala. A reported 175,000 Central Americans were deported from Mexico in 2015 (a 68 percent jump from 2014), and so far in 2016 that number is approaching 100,000.
The Times claims the U.S. is sending Mexico $75 million in the form of equipment and training to help shore up its southern border. Ultimately, some of the Central American migrants wind up at America’s southern doorstep. Stopping them from entering Mexico is the first line of defense.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent said earlier this year the U.S. should borrow a page out of Mexico’s security playbook and strengthen its border defenses and deport more illegals when they arrive.
Hypocrisy much?
The hypocrisy of the American media and the American left is mind-boggling
Great campaign commercial.
I’m gonna scream....cuz Congress had a hand I’m sure..
is obama trying to offset the future costs to mexico of building the Trump wall?
And I wonder how much of it actually even goes for that wall. One peso for the wall, two pesos for Jose’s mordida, etc.?
Where is the US getting all this money?????
75Mil to Mexico
1.7 Bil to Iran (I’ve lost count)
Everything that a sane, productive citizen would want, they don’t get. Everything that they wouldn’t want, they get.
Looks like the Mexicans can build a wall cheaper than we can. They should actually build Trump’s wall themselves instead of just paying for it. I’m sure they could save billions.
Our current establishment is some kind of new despotism.
I wouldn’t know what to call it yet.
“I’m gonna scream....cuz Congress had a hand I’m sure..”
Per the Constitution every dollar the President spends must be appropriated by the House of Representatives which has been controlled by the GOP since January 2011. Every week we hear about the billions Obama has sent to Iran, the millions he has sent to somewhere else or to some leftist organization. Why is the GOP Congress providing him with hundreds of billions of dollars of discretionary spending authority?

The word is KAKISTOCRACY.
kak·is·toc·ra·cies. Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens. Origin of kakistocracy. Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad; see caco– + –cracy.
Exactly what I’m thinking. If so, that SOB! So now... How can Trump make them pay for the wall AND return the money Zero sent them to offset the cost?
“Where is the US getting all this money?????”
From OUR pockets, of course!
Assuming you mean the government, the government has no money. All they have are tax receipts from us. But I heard a rumor the government is working on a money tree.
I can’t believe it.
