You will say anything to not back up the claims you make won't you?
We don't need any more damn spending bills that send money to other countries.
The dems need to stop shoehorning bull# spending into bills that might actual benefit the American people. But, they can't help themselves and then wonder why the Republicans vote it down.
Close the border and anyone who does not cross at a designated legal crossing area will get arrested and sent right back where they came from. Simple as that.

Yeah, I, and I would venture to say most non brainwashed Americans, want all external spending to stop.
Why are we sending billions to other countries when we have issue of our own here? We are sending money to countries that would not do the same for us in their situation.
We have sent hundreds of billions to a couple different countries in the last 2 years, all while we have business closing, veterans dying in the street because the US refuses to cover the healthcare they earned and deserve, our economy is collapsing and all the dems want to do about it is tax us even more and send that money to other countries.
What sense does that make?

Cartels so bold now, they're admitting their power as subtle veiled threats.
Only way to stop it now is Military. 💡
Again, military spending bills will pass through all sectors of government without a hitch.

The only war efforts we should be funding are the ones that directly affected us, which they did.
You are getting quite good at these mental gymnastics bud, you have avoided every single question I ask you. Almost as if you have no real answer to any of them.
Give me one good reason we should send money to any other country at this moment in time?

Seriously? Did you, as an anti-trumper really just say that we don't need to play the blame game?
Also, how do you fix a problem without identifying the cause?

Giving South American countries an economic leg up, so to speak, would be in the best interests of Americans to reduce the migration of people to the border, sound reasonable?
The Biden Administration requested nearly $2.5 billion in foreign assistance for Latin America and the Caribbean in FY2024
under accounts managed by the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). That total is
$366.2 million (17.4%) above the amount allocated for the region in FY2022, including supplemental appropriations. The
Administration’s FY2024 budget request also included $52.0 million for the Inter-American Foundation (IAF)—a small,
independent U.S. government agency that supports grassroots development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Stemming irregular migration remains a top Administration priority in the region. The Administration requested $945.8
million to continue implementation of the U.S. Strategy for Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Central America—
$240.9 million (34.2%) more than the FY2022 allocation for Central America. The Administration also requested $51.4
million for a new Americas Partnership Opportunity Fund intended to support migration management throughout Latin
America and the Caribbean. In October 2023, the Administration requested an additional $1.25 billion of emergency
supplemental foreign assistance to respond to irregular migration in the region.

Also quite difficult to have an intelligent conversation with someone who refuses to answer simple questions and would see their own country live in poverty so that others can prosper.

The spending bill has research money to answer that exact question, let's hope the money will be well spent.
