( White House to give more than $250 MILLION in new aid to Central American countries as its response to overwhelming surge in illegal immigration )
The White House announced $254.6 million in new aid for Central American countries today. The money will go toward returning unaccompanied minors who travel to the U.S. illegally to their families and fostering youth centered programs in their home countries, the White House said this afternoon. The assistance to the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras announced today is in addition to the $130 million in aid the U.S. already provides those countries in economic assistance. The U.S. has also decided to begin detaining families at the border instead of giving them court dates and releasing them. The new aid package and the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. border will be the subject of Vice President Joe Biden's meetings this afternoon in Guatemala with senior representatives of the Central American countries.

Welfare here, welfare there.
The money will go towards getting the kids back with their families.
Another way to look at that is they now have an incentive to keep the flow up and get another check at a later date.
The money is going to run out...as the difficult economic times that so many have alluded to for so long WILL arrive.
Our “we take you kids for free” plan didn’t work, so here’s some money.
How many fences along the border could be built with $250 million?
If the government built it, $250 million would get you one fence a mile long.
We give money to a foreign government to return illegals that are HERE already ?
Why not put each kid on a jet with a new backpack stuffed with hundred dollar bills ?
Must have been an agreement to match the saudi royals contribution to help move the children across the U.S. border.
DHS posted for vendor for 65000 alien children in Jan 2014, this is a game with these people. The plan is exactly what it is...go get taxpayer dollars out of the country and kill US economy. More debt, nothing for it.
A cynic might ask whether there was any prearrangement between the radical leftist in Washington controlling the American government and any leftists in Latin American governments the result of which was the mysterious movement of children all across Mexico to the American border?
The border swarm has no other aspiration than to suck-up US tax dollars under several identities...and to illegally vote Democrat to get even more freebies.
Hollowing out the US economy continues apace---illegals greedily riding the US gravy train while US taxpayers handout billions in foreign aid to their do-nothing Third World hellholes--specifically earmarked to subsidize poverty-stricken populations.
Time to cut off US aid to these corrupt, do-nothing Central American governments. US aid should be suspended until the countries tell us where the money is going......and demand they put out appropriate messaging to counter the ads said to be fueling the horrendous surge at the border from Central America.
NOTE WELL: US Aid figures do not include prolific military aid and humanitarian aid from countless other US agencies: El Salvador: $280.4M Honduras: $680M Dominican Republic: $223.7M Mexico: $958.2M Guatemala: $391.8M

=============================================
This report shows US aid for the past few years (see page 9 (US Assistance); pages 25-30 show various other US agencies providing aid (DOD, etc.) (needs more research)

We could also send the countries a bill for processing, housing, feeding and providing healthcare and daycare for each of the illegals citizens that they facilitate into the US.
=========================================
Americans are fed-up---and want these types sent back from whence they came....but the buzz is Central American govts are refusing to take them back......an extortion game that Boobamba sap-happily caved into.
Paying off countries not to invade us.
I had not known that. The plan is clearly to kill the US economy. No way anyone could think this is good for our economy.
Treason
I would say this is another log on the fire with which obama should be burned, but alas; every log added gets pissed on by congress, they (congress) don’t want him to get burned, most especially the Rino’s, if there is any evidence to the contrary I’d like to know about.
LIBs are insane.
