As President Biden and Democrats continue to rail against Republican opposition to what he calls the “bipartisan border bill”, I thought you might want to see what is in it/where the money actually goes.
So here, from PBS (which ain’t what you’d call a member of the Republican Campaign Committee) is its actual breakdown:
A FUNDING BREAKDOWN
Total size: $118.3 billion. That includes:
- About $60 billion in military aid for Ukraine
- $14.1 billion in aid for Israel
- $4.83 billion in aid for the Indo-Pacific region
- $10 billion in humanitarian assistance for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, among other places
- $2.3 billion in refugee assistance inside the U.S.
- $20.2 billion for improvements to U.S. border security
- $2.72 billion for domestic uranium enrichment
Huh? What’s that? A $118.3 billion dollar “border bill” in which just $20.2 billion dollars – 17% – goes to the border, but $98.1 billion dollars – 83% of the total – goes elsewhere?????
That’s what they’re calling a BORDER bill?
That’s what Joe Biden says he needs to close the border? And, by so doing, pretending/lying to our faces that he couldn’t just reverse the executive orders he signed his first days in office; the executive orders that opened our borders wide?
Just asking: do you think this just might have something to do with the opposition?
End of blog.
