I share your minarchist sentiments, but lets be fair. This program is the least of our worries when we are ready to fight perhaps multiple wars to bring 'democracy' to Middle Eastern states that have no tradition of democracy or individual freedoms.
Which is more absurd?
I think rather than fight along the traditional 'accountants for the welfare state' tact conservatives traditionally choose when fighting a new welfare program, we should concede that we will lose that fight. A better tact, perhaps, would be to argue that Conservatives should support this expenditure, if it's tied to ending tax payer funded migrations of Somalians into the United States.
Sure its a small victory, but when battling Leviathan, it's about the best we can hope for.

That would never be done, our government is the one bringing them here, giving them "refugee" status and welfare benefits here.
I completely don't understand why the US taxpayer should pay for African AIDS, we didn't cause them to have promiscuous sex, we can't stop them from having that. No money was spent to prevent AIDS in heterosexual, monogamous couples because that's the only way to prevent the spread and it doesn't take money.

None of it makes sense and none of it's Constitutional; should we spend our days complaining about the liberal media or should we look to score some wins? What do you know about winning? You just advocated capitulation.
