And that was about $3 Trillion ago

A Democrat spending bill, negotiated with Republicans, uses American taxpayer money to fund “border security” measures in eight foreign countries while including no new funds to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border.
The government funding package spends about $370 million in taxpayer money to fund “enhanced border security” in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman. At least $150 million of that funding is allocated for Jordan’s borders.
Likewise, the package includes taxpayer money to fund border security in Libya, “border security activities” in Nepal, and “border security programs” in Pakistan.
Though Republicans were able to preserve nearly $2 billion in previously-allocated border wall construction funds, the package does not include any new border wall funding.
“The upcoming omnibus spending bill is likely Congress’ last chance this year to do anything meaningful re: Biden’s catastrophic erasure of our border — an erasure that reshapes the whole future of our nation,” Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to former President Trump, wrote in a statement. “Presently, this isn’t even a topic of conversation, let alone action.”
While funding border security overseas, President Joe Biden has halted all border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, gutted interior immigration enforcement, and attempted to end the anti-asylum fraud Remain in Mexico program.
As a result, more than two million border crossers and illegal aliens arrived at the nation’s southern border in all of last year. This year, experts predict more than 2.1 million to arrive — a record.

I’d say Unbelievable but ....
I had to look. This is not a Babylon Bee farce.
NONE for the USA.
The illegal alien inundation is intentional and bipartisan.
Re-electing Assistant Democrats only gets us more of this.
DUMP Rubio, Hoeven, Crapo, Thune, Moran, Lankford, Grassley, Young, Scott, Murkowsky and Boozman.
AH HELL NO !!!
See, chubbing us.
I’ve never seen anyone trying harder to provoke violence in my life.
This is a shameless, blatant money laundering stunt. At least half of that money, if not all of it will find its way back into ‘Rat coffers and then into ‘Rat fatcat pockets. There are a LOT of rats retiring. This will provide each of them an extra bonus on the way out the door. Border Security my gluteus maximus!
I won’t vote for them. Why bother.
Who is trying to illegally enter Nepal? Incense thieves?
Remember the story about The Cobbler’s Children.
.......”taxpayer money to fund “border security” measures in eight foreign countries .....no new funds to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border”.....
So just who is running and using our taxpayer dollars. Sounds like our pie is being managed by foreign entities.
I hate them all.
America last.
See ya at the bill signing.
