Notes Wall is Particularly Important in Jordan Due to Drug Smuggling Problem​

WASHINGTON—United States Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today questioned Yael Lempert, President Biden’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Jordan, about the importance of government funding for border security and border walls, given that the Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus funding law provides at least $150 million for border security for Jordan, President Biden’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget request includes $110 million for border security for Jordan, and such U.S. taxpayer dollars have funded a border wall in Jordan. Nominee Lempert admitted that U.S. taxpayer funding for border walls and border security is important and effective to protect Jordanians, particularly from drug trafficking.

Biden nominee Lempert’s statement comes as drug overdose deaths in America have surpassed 100,000 per year, most from fentanyl coming across the U.S. southern border, and as the number of illegal border crossings since President Biden took office has exceeded five million. Yet, the President’s FY2024 budget request includes zero dollars for physical infrastructure for securing the U.S. border.

“The Omnibus last year provides for at least $150 million for border security in Jordan. It’s a large amount of taxpayer dollars. And if you think about the purpose of this, it’s to provide physical security to keep people from illegally crossing into Jordan, isn’t that correct?” Hagerty asked.

You didn't read the article you posted, obviously. But then reading and analyzing is not what Democrat minions do. Here is a key sentence from YOUR article. Let me know if you understand what it says:

....Lamas said the agency launched the investigation several months ago after learning suspicious packages containing the chemical, which he did not name, were being shipped to the two locations from China......

Most of it is coming in from Mexico. From your article:


"Originally developed as a legal drug to treat intense pain from ailments including cancer, Mexican drug cartels in recent years have produced most of the illegal fentanyl seen in the U.S., smuggling it inside vehicles or strapped to pedestrians crossing at ports of entry along the international border."

The troops he's sending are unarmed, and just for "housekeeping". In other words, to make it quicker for Biden to facilitate the takeover of our country.

My question is, why doesn't Jordan have the money to spend on building those walls? No oil revenue?

Why does it keep needing the US, or Israel, or any other country to help them with borders, water and other things?

Jordan is small and poor and overrun with refugees forced out by the Israelis. Israel has also taken most of their water assets. They have no oil.

Israel is the one helping Jordan with the water. Stop lying for the Jordanians inability to make the desert bloom as Jews have done with Israel.

And the Hashemites should never have taken 78% of the Mandate for Palestine, which never belonged to the newly arrived Hashemites.
-------------
Poverty in Jordan is the outcome of many factors shaping the country’s economic struggles. The kingdom has a scarce amount of natural oil stock in its eastern desert and the country is heavily reliant on foreign importing to meet its energy needs, constituting up to 30% of its total imports.

The country also happens to experience a wide range of issues, such as the inability to meet half of the population’s water demand, only 2.6% of its land being arable, an average labor participation rate of 38.1%, an unemployment rate of 23.9%, millions of refugees from Iraq, Palestine and Syria and a debt crisis consisting of 95% of the kingdom’s gross domestic product. All of these issues exacerbate poverty in Jordan.

Effects of Poverty on Jordan’s Youth​

While poverty in Jordan affects people of all ages, a look at Jordan’s children tends to give a grim view. The population of children in Jordan is around 3 million. Of this number, 0.6% endure multidimensional impoverishment, which occurs when one suffers multiple deprivations at one time, and includes facets such as health, education and living standards. Poor quality of work, hazardous environments, disempowerment and the threat of violence also form part of these deprivations.

Poverty in Jordan disproportionately affects the refugee populations. The number of Syrians in Jordan living below the country’s poverty line is 78%. Among Syrian children, 94% of those younger than 5 experience multidimensional poverty. When it comes to malnutrition, 17% of the children face malnourishment due to poverty in Jordan. In addition, the infant mortality rate is 31 per 1,000 children.

A significant issue that relates to poverty in Jordan is the issue of resource shortage. Addressing this is one way to combat some of the effects of poverty in Jordan. To overcome these challenges, the Hashemite Kingdom is spending more than $5 billion on renewable energy so that the nation can move toward self-sufficiency. Solar energy is already saving money for the local population with one religious clerk saying the bills necessary to generate electricity for his mosque used to be up to $18,350 per year. Now, that cost has been reduced to near zero.

In 2012, Jordan launched 11 renewable energy projects in the Maan province alone. Since then, the growth of the kingdom’s reliance on green power has resulted in 11% of the nation’s total power deriving from renewables in 2019. It is estimated that 15% of today’s Jordanian households have solar-based water heating systems. This investment in renewable energy will make Jordan less dependent on foreign oil markets. It will also drive economic growth through job creation — an estimated 40 million new jobs could exist by 2050. Meeting energy demands and achieving self-sufficiency while reducing the costs of power and igniting economic growth will help to alleviate poverty in Jordan. This will have a direct effect on children, the most powerless and vulnerable to the effects of poverty in Jordan.

The refill system may be used more frequently with water exports to Jordan on the rise, he said. It can raise the lake's level by half a metre each year, according to Mekorot.
Water was a major component in the peace treaty the neighbours signed in 1994. The arrangement was for Israel to supply Jordan with 50 million cubic meters of drinkable water a year. That was doubled in late 2021.

Both countries are active participants in the pact, even as they accuse each other of exacerbating the broader problem of water shortages through the management of their shared and connected rivers.

Jordanian and Israeli officials have traded blame over river levels, reservoirs and the progress of a separate scheme to desalinate water from the southern Red Sea - all potentially highly charged issues in a tense region where water is scarce.

But there has been progress.

Around a year ago Israel and Jordan agreed to partner in a project that would see Jordan build 600 megawatts of solar generating capacity to be exported to Israel in return for the additional water supply.

Jordan’s minister of water and irrigation at the time said that climate change and an influx of refugees exacerbated Jordan’s water challenges, but that there are opportunities for regional cooperation to solve it.

Jordan is small and poor and overrun with refugees forced out by the Israelis. Israel has also taken most of their water assets. They have no oil.

Also, if Israel was able to take about 800,000 Jewish refugees who were expelled by all Arab conquered countries and take care of them, Jordan should be able to do the same for the Muslims who sought refuge in Jordan. The same with all other Muslim/Arab countries with the refugees they caused by declaring war on Jews and Israel.

The Hashemites were just one family. He was emir of Mecca and sold out the Arabs to the Zionists... Weissman if I remember correctly. 700,000 European Jews immigrated to Palestine in less than 15 years.. their population doubled. Of course the refugees wanted all the land.

The Arab Jews left in 1948, 1956,1967 and 1973. They'd still be living all over the Arab world if not for the Zionists. After all they had been living with the Arabs for nearly 2000 years.

First and Last of all: It is the Jewish Homeland. Jews returned to their Homeland.

Not the Arab Homeland, or Muslim Homeland, or Palestinian Homeland.

One family with thousands who moved to TranJordan which is very near Arabia, kicked out by the invading Saudis. And then, thousands more Arab Muslims moved there before and after 1948.

Six Million Jews might have had their lives saved had it not been for the Grand Mufti who also went out of his way to Iraq to start a riot against Jews there in order to kill Jews.


Keep failing to recognize the reason Jews needed to rebuild their Nation ON their homeland, contrary to the Hashemites who were expelled from theirs and were GIVEN a land which did not belong to them, EVER.

Lies. Most were not Zionists. Israel was hardly founded and they were being forced to flee Iraq and other places long before 1948.

Jews did not stay in those areas since before the Babylonian invasion to all of a sudden decide to "leave".

They were all forced to leave those lands with nothing in their backs, in order to try to destroy Israel with the sheer number of them.

There weren't thousands to move. There weren't 700,000 people in all of Palestine including Transjordan before the European
refugees. It always belonged to the Arabs. The Akkadian Empire predated the Hebrews.

The European Jews just wanted all the land... Just the way the Germans did.

You need to get honest. They weren't leaving before 1948. They lived in Morocco and Tunisia and Iraq.. all over... They were prosperous...

So what’s your point?

 

[Sixties Fan]

You need to get honest. They weren't leaving before 1948. They lived in Morocco and Tunisia and Iraq.. all over... They were prosperous...

They left because they were taken:

Their citizenship
Their jobs
Their businesses
Their schools
Their money in the banks

Most were left with nothing and no reason to stay by the Nazi Arabs in Iraq and all other places they were forced to leave.

They were not attacking the governments, the Arabs, the Muslims. They were just JEWS.
--------------------------------
A number of small-scale Jewish migrations began in many Middle Eastern countries early in the 20th century with the only substantial aliyah (immigration to the area today known as Israel) coming from Yemen and Syria.[2] Few Jews from Muslim countries immigrated during the period of Mandatory Palestine.[3] Prior to the creation of Israel in 1948, approximately 800,000 Jews were living in lands that now make up the Arab world. Of these, just under two-thirds lived in French- and Italian-controlled North Africa, 15–20% in the Kingdom of Iraq, approximately 10% in the Kingdom of Egypt and approximately 7% in the Kingdom of Yemen. A further 200,000 lived in Pahlavi Iran and the Republic of Turkey.

The first large-scale exoduses took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, primarily from Iraq, Yemen and Libya. In these cases over 90% of the Jewish population left, despite the necessity of leaving their property behind.[4] Between 1948 and 1951, 260,000 Jews immigrated to Israel from Arab countries.[5] The Israeli government's policy to accommodate 600,000 immigrants over four years, doubling the existing Jewish population,[6] encountered mixed reactions in the Knesset; there were those within the Jewish Agency and government who opposed promoting a large-scale emigration movement among Jews whose lives were not in danger.[6]

Later waves peaked at different times in different regions over the subsequent decades. The peak of the exodus from Egypt occurred in 1956 following the Suez Crisis. The emigrations from the other North African Arab countries peaked in the 1960s. Lebanon was the only Arab country to see a temporary increase in its Jewish population during this period, due to an influx of Jews from other Arab countries, although by the mid-1970s the Jewish community of Lebanon had also dwindled. Six hundred thousand Jews from Arab and Muslim countries had reached Israel by 1972,[7][8][9][10] while 300,000 migrated to France and the United States. In Israel, the descendants of the Jewish immigrants from the region, known locally as Mizrahi Jews ("Oriental," literally: "Eastern Jews") and Sephardic Jews ("Spanish Jews"), constitute more than half of the total population of Israel,[11]partially as a result of their higher fertility rate.[12] In 2009, only 26,000 Jews remained in Arab countries and Iran,[13] as well as 26,000 in Turkey.[14] By 2019, the total number of Jews in Arab countries and Iran had declined to 12,700,[15] and in Turkey to 14,800.[16]

The reasons for the exoduses are manifold, including pull factors, such as the desire to fulfill Zionistyearnings or find a better economic status and a secure home in Europe or the Americas and, in Israel, a policy change in favour of mass immigration focused on Jews from Arab and Muslim countries,[17] together with push factors, such as persecution / antisemitism, political instability,[18]poverty[18] and expulsion. The history of the exodus has been politicized, given its proposed relevance to the historical narrative of the Arab–Israeli conflict.[19][20] When presenting the history, those who view the Jewish exodus as analogous to the 1948 Palestinian exodus generally emphasize the push factors and consider those who left as refugees, while those who do not, emphasize the pull factors and consider them willing immigrants.[21]
