With President Trump signing a spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security. Few Americans know that their tax money already funds some major border walls around the world.
American taxpayers are continuing to fund the border walls for Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Lebanon.
While the United States-Mexico border received only $1.3 billion for construction of a border wall at the overwhelmed southern border with soaring illegal immigration, foreign countries are getting help from American taxpayers to secure their borders.
The Republican-Democrat spending bill signed by Trump last week provides Pakistan with at least $15 million in U.S. taxpayer money for “border security programs” as well as funding for “cross border stabilization” between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In total, the spending bill provides about $6 billion in American taxpayer money to finance foreign militaries, some of which can be used by Lebanon to “strengthen border security and combat terrorism.”
The spending bill provides about $112.5 million in U.S. taxpayer money for economic support for Egypt, including $10 million for scholarships for Egyptian students. Egypt’s military receives about $1.3 billion in the spending bill, some of which can be for border security programs.
Additionally, the spending bill includes:
- An expansion of Catch and Release
- A potential doubling of the annual low-skilled foreign workers imported to the U.S.
- Less detention space for border crossers
- The amnesty pipeline for Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) and their relatives
- Stipulations requiring local officials to approve all wall construction
- Chokeholds on immigration enforcement at the border and in the interior
Meanwhile, illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border has swelled in recent months. In December 2018, the last month for illegal border crossing totals, there were close to 51,000 border crossings. The month before, there were nearly 52,000 border crossings. Experts project there to be at least 606,000 crossings this year at the southern border, a level of illegal immigration that surpasses nearly every year of illegal immigration under President Obama.

This is more proof of America’s great generosity. We are generous to a fault. We need to take care of our own border and protect our people from the drugs and gangs coming across our southern border. It’s fine to help out other countries, but we shouldn’t neglect our own needs.
Why do your guys LIE, as if PEOPLE don’t have other sources of information. You are nothing but fake news out to confuse people. Some people really believe, BUT I GUESS THAT IS YOU INTENT!!!!
Is he crazy to sign such law into effect??? Or does he have a plan we don’t know about?? His bill is absolutely disgraceful and should have been signed. Maybe we didn’t need their money that bad…

Your statement about their being less detention space for border crossers is incorrect
