Trump to cut foreign aid for home countries of illegal immigrants
Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2018

Posted on 05/23/2018 12:20:25 PM PDT by deplorableindc

President Trump announced Wednesday that the U.S. will begin to deduct foreign aid from countries whose residents illegally enter the United States.

"Many of these countries we give tremendous amounts of aid to. Tens of millions of dollars. And we're working on a plan to deduct a lot of the aid," Trump said at an event in New York denouncing the Salvadoran gang MS-13.

"We're going to work out something where every time someone comes in from a certain country, we're going to deduct a rather large amount of money from what we give them in aid, if we give them aid at all," Trump said. "We may just not give them aid at all."

That’s the kicker isn’t it. Our fellow citizens put them there.

We don’t have the old fall back education system to explain why our nation is decent, these days. Instead it’s pumping out lie after lie after lopsided facts to denigrate the primer nation in the history of planet earth.

Then the media takes off where the school system exhausts it’s nearly monopolistic period of time.

Jim,

We talk about the possibility of “getting rid of Rocketman Kim!” In my view, he’s probably not as big a threat to this country as El Presidente Pena Nieto of Mexico. So if we are thinking of getting rid of someone who presents a “threat” to America, we don’t have to fly 6,000 miles to accomplish the task.
More seriously though, in the same fashion we are sanctioning NK and China, so too should we be sanctioning Mexico (beyond just cutting off financial aid) and probably the rest of Central America. The people on every scrap of land to the south of us, have, for all of my nearly 78 years, been firmly attached to America’s backside like a bunch of Remoras! Time we MAGA and to do so, quit being a financial patsy for the rest of the world! We can’t buy friendship!

Good. End this so-called “foreign aid”. Mainly, it supports fascists, dictators and other assorted losers. “The people” mainly receive further oppression from their overlords...the wealthy class partially created through US “foreign-aid” . What a scam.

President Donald J. Trump *is* an open miracle, yet people still murmur and complain and say they’ll have to wait to see. Sounds familiar, like maybe some folks would have preferred to stay in bondage in Egypt, which was familiar territory.

This is how people end up like deer in the headlights and get run over by the train, never knowing what hit them.

Foreign aid pales in comparison to the $$ sent back to them by illegals.
Migrants working in the United States sent a staggering $120 billion back to their families last year.

We need to tax those remittances.

"We may just not give them aid at all."

That's the best plan ...

Yes, I agree.

We’ve never had it so good, and I know there are still folks out there desperately hoping for an “I told you so...” moment.

What a sad life they must lead.

Is our nation healed? Are we back to a 1950s type environment sans racism, no? Still, we’re a lot better off then we’ve been in decades, the ability to turn back the clock and all.

There is hope in the land for the first time in at least 30 years.

How about ALL of their aid, Mr President??

Make them feel the pain!


Always good to keep some ammo in the gun. Also, if some countries would lose aid anyway, they have no incentive to stop the outflow. Trump can also show that he isn't taking an "extreme" position, but a sensible, measured one.

If Mexico is smart, they’ll be drawing up plans for a wall any moment now.

You can say that again! Wait! You just did!
