As if we are stupid enough to believe the aid money goes to the people those countries want to get rid of...

The problem with us giving money all over the world is most of it ends up in the pockets of the leaders of that country. Does little or nothing to help their people that need help.

NO MORE FOREIGN AID TO ANYONE until every America has a home and a job and our debt is paid in FULL.

Personally, I think President Trump needs to change the wording a little.

I recommend that his verbiage accompanying the written directives to be along the lines of:

“We are diverting the previously discussed foreign aid to the these governments to help pay the costs of temporarily housing and caring for people who have left their homelands and illegally entered the United States.

“This will accomplish two things. First, it will ensure that our aid actually reaches the people who need it the most. Second, it will provide some relief to the American taxpayers who have, unfortunately, paid for everything too long.

“This diversion of funds will continue until the flood of people fleeing these nations ceases.”

The last sentence could provide an incentive for the various dictatorships to start visibly and actively working to turn things off. Plus, when (not if) these dictators backtrack we can easily turn the money back off.

DJT just keeps getting it right. These things he does don’t require a great intellect, just enormous ‘nards.

Immediately to be followed by rulings from U.S. District court judges prohibiting the cutting of money from the US to Honduras, Guatemala, or El Salvador.

Post of the day!

Good. Why are we paying them?

Let’s take that money and apply it to the wall.

Why not just deduct the cost of maintaining their people from any foreign aid we currently provide them?

Wouldn't be a drop in the bucket compared to what they cost us.

Redirect the foreign aid dollars to build the wall
under the national emergency declaration, since
these invaders are why the emergency was claimed
in the first place.

The fact that the rest of the world is largely composed of 3rd world shitholes should be a foreign affairs problem, not an internal domestic problem.

These people could be rocket scientist-saints and it still does not change the fact that they defy our will in order to be here. That’s a level of disrespect that no guest who wishes to remain a guest should ever show.

Building the wall is a baby step that even Ronnie could not do.
While you are bickering over dollars, turn off all social welfare money for all illegal immigrants, now. Magnet.
Hold corporate America responsible for the costs of this and mandate e verify for all businesses.
Want real change? End birthright citizenship and enforce the current laws while building a wall.
Finally, stop federal funding states with a single sanctuary city.
The wall is just a piece of it. Corporate tax dodgers are the biggest problem we have. Call each and every company out for not paying citizen taxes on each and every employee they have.
Of course, H1B visa employers need to be taxed much more than citizens.
