“for any migrants that manage to sneak into the US......lay a huge tariff per head on Honduras.”
Yes! A weekly tariff on each illegal from Honduras and ?!
21 June 2018: In his opening remarks at a Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing about “USAID resources and redesign” on Wednesday, Senator Robert Corker, who chairs the committee, encouraged his colleagues not to even raise budget issues with Green, since they are “not relevant to what [Congress] will be doing.”
“Some on the committee will no doubt use their time to highlight the president’s fiscal year 2019 budget request, but given that Congress decides funding levels despite the request, really the request is not relevant to what we’ll be doing. I don’t mean that with any disrespect. I hope that the hearing will focus on more relevant issues,” Corker said.
Corker’s suggestion came less than 24 hours after Trump’s latest attempt to use foreign aid as a geopolitical bargaining chip — with a proposal many have seen as self-defeating and divorced from reality. Speaking at a small business event in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Trump said he would seek authorization to withhold funding from countries in Central America’s so-called “Northern Triangle,” which he claimed, without evidence, are “sending” migrants to the U.S.
“When countries abuse us by sending people up — not their best — we’re not going to give any more aid to those countries. Why the hell should we?” Trump said.
Glad we’re in agreement.
