Good thing they didn’t have student loans as well. Or the USSC would shut this crap down.

That’s the amount Obama got from BP for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Think of this as his reelection campaign spending.

Ike once gave a speech where he compared the cost of a new bomber to the ability to build new elementary schools. The number was staggering.

A secure border would have saved us most of that money, which could have been spent on schools, housing, or any of the other things that the left says they want.

In addition, a secure border would have saved the lives of a good percentage (Lets say 30%) of the fentanyl deaths in the past year—so about 30,000 people.

Immigration when done properly is good for the country. Immigration when well done is a net plus for the country and the economy. The way we are doing it is not good.

$20 Billion taxpayer dollars not spent on: schools, roads, bridges, helping poor families, tax relief, national parks, etc.

Lower my taxes. Freedom over what has made citizens into serfs and slaves.

How does Biden have an unlimited budget when Trump had to fight tooth and nail to spend a fraction of this on the security wall?

Did Democrats fight Trump while Republicans roll over?

Imagine if that money had been available to help wounded and homeless veterans.

Instead our vets have been booted out of lodgings to make way for the illegal aliens democrats are bringing in to replace us.

“Biden Admin Spent Whopping $20 Billion On Refugee Resettlement In Just Two Years”

Homeless Vets in need of care
Poor Seniors in need of care.
Battered spouses & children in need of care.
Drinking water systems need replacement.
Toxic/polluted sites needing remediation.
Ports/Bridges/Highways need maintenance.
on and on and on . . .

and 35% of our fellow citizens continually vote for this crapola.

One group wants to follow the US Constitution, the other wants a different path.
I say let them go, but they can’t be part of our America.
