Why do we have to pay other countries in order to secure our OWN border...WHY DOES EVERY BILL PASSED HAVE TO HAVE "ATTACHMENTS" for other members of congress, and their "PET" projects   

The deal would call for stricter asylum standards and new deportation powers in exchange for a $106 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other domestic and foreign goals


Trump weighs in on border security deal, adding new pressure to Republicans in CongressStory by Riley Beggin, USA TODAY • 11h

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump is trying to torpedo a bipartisan border security package, putting new pressure on Republicans to reject a deal that Senate negotiators have been crafting for months.

It’s the latest example of the former president leveraging his popularity within the GOP to influence Republican officeholders – even as he lacks any formal powers to set the political agenda. If Trump openly campaigns against it, Republicans will have a hard time supporting the border security deal that is now favored by many senators in their own party.

The proposal – which has not yet been finalized – would reportedly approve several conservative border priorities. The deal would call for stricter asylum standards and new deportation powers in exchange for a $106 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and other domestic and foreign goals that are related to the mission of keeping the country safe.

In an interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday night, Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Trump told her he was against the deal, that he’d urged Johnson to reject it, and that he was “extremely adamant” about it.

We "pay" other countries for things we shouldn't pay for because a HUGE percentage of that money gets funneled back here into the pockets of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. "Foreign aid" is just a euphemism for kickbacks and bribery.
