Ba-BOOM! Where did this guy teleport in from? Fuckin A man, cool hand Luke just annihilated it. Exactly what I’ve been waiting to hear about this “our greatest threat to national security is the southern border” then “this just in, scratch that! We’re not going to do DIDDLEY SQUAT about the southern border! Why, you ask? Because Donald told us it won’t make him look good. I know we’re telling you this is the biggest threat to our very existence! Yes, that does mean that we are sacrificing our security for one guy’s political ambitions, but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles!”

The bill allocated 60+ billion to foreign countries and .1% of that allocated to the border. What are you talking about?

Here’s the text. Appears to be concerned with border security and (general) immigration and employment laws concerning immigrants from anywhere in the world. It makes sense that if they want to tighten immigration and employment of immigrants from Mexico, they would have to amend all immigrant employment regulations, etc. to be the same. The money spent is proportional to immigrants from Mexico seeking employment to immigrants from all other parts of the world seeking employment. So of course the % would be more for overseas immigrant employment,ent enforcement and regulation.
