Gidley: 'Scary' that Dem plan to reopen government spends more on foreign aid than border security

[shockedcanadian]

I pray for you, and for the rest of the West. When you're willing to spend billions on the world, but not deal with the 17000 arrests at the border this year alone of known criminals? It's clear the global socialists have some under their thumb.

This is a National Security threat, I can see that from far away up North...

Gidley: 'Scary' that Dem plan to reopen government spends more on foreign aid than border security

Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters Wednesday night that House Democrats' proposal to end the partial government shutdown "isn't real" and said it was "scary" that the legislation included more money for foreign aid than for border security.

"As some of the details leak out from the Democrat proposal, you now see that they have more funding for foreign countries in aid than they do for border security, and that should be scary to any American," Gidley said in a brief statement on the White House driveway.

On Monday, Democrats unveiled a pair of bills, neither of which includes the $5.7 billion President Trump wants for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, one piece of legislation temporarily funds the Department of Homeland Security at current levels, with $1.3 billion for border security, through Feb. 8.
The other measure includes a bipartisan bill to fund the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and related agencies. That legislation specifically provides for $54.4 billion in discretionary spending, $12 billion more than Trump requested in his own budget blueprint. Some of the line items in the measure include $3.3 billion in security assistance for Israel, $1.68 billion toward international peacekeeping, $7.8 billion toward international disaster assistance and refugee assistance, and $5.7 billion toward the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program (PEPFAR).

Trump expressed his frustration with the proposal to reporters Wednesday, lamenting that "The Democrats want $12 billion more in foreign aid … but they won’t approve $5.6 billion for a wall. It’s purely politics."

Hopefully Trump will shoot it down with a tweet.

What is the point of foreign aid if we can't use to buy some cooperation from Mexico to shut down illegal immigration and drug smuggling?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I heard about this. Absurd

More foreign aid than money for home security. That's the current traitorous left

We're not paying border control agents even as we type.

I don’t think the Left is going to win this debate. All Trump has to do is, continue to show what they DO fund, which shows how ridiculous their talking points are.

Nope, they will lose in the court of public opinion and lose badly!

I wouldn't spend one dime on foreign aid. Let em take care of themselves instead of we the taxpayer providing charity for them.

That money would build a wall that illegals couldn't get through.

Once built we could kick those that are here out and they wouldn't be able to get back in. We would save billions each year.

The Dems show their stupidity each and every day.

Elections have consequences.

Perhaps the Republicans should have put a muzzle on The Creature while there was still time.

As it is, they've pissed-away the advantage they gained on November 8, 2016.

The arrogance of the incumbency... delusions of mandates and bulletproof status and the ignoring of truly terrible optics.

As predictable as the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

-------------

The Dems have proposed that such monies go to Foreign Aid rather than a Wall?

Maybe it's just as well... the Wall is a dumb idea anyway; there are a dozen better ways to halt Illegal Immigration.

( not that the Illegals -loving Dems are likely to do anything about it )

As things stand now, it seems like the Dems would rather light a match to stacks of cash, rather than give it over for a Wall.

The Dems have not only dug-in their heels, but they are now rubbing salt in the wounds, proposing to give the money to foreigners.

The Dems now intend to publicly spank and embarrass The Creature.

Consider it Payback for two years of authoritarian rule without effective oversight.

The American People have made it quite plain that they are uncomfortable with such a state of affairs.

Consider it a Market Correction.

Dumbshit Republicans... you should have reined-in your boy while you had the chance... now you've run out of time... and seats.

You clowns are just as dumb and dangerous and myopic and short-on-memory and short on common sense as the Democrats.

For furloughed Gubmint workers...

"We who are about to be foreclosed salute you."

"Let the Games begin."

Poor bastards... victims of the stupidity on both sides... Republican side included.
