It should be 100 for border, 50 divided for the other 2-country’s. With a guarantee that our border gets closed before any money is handed out abroad.

it is so much more than a wall, but it is a beginning.. much more logistics work need to go into this in order to make it orderly.
the best way would be to pay mexico to set up asylum camps.
on the funding, i do not get how israel is getting this funding, they are not a poor country and they have means. maybe the aid is in form of presence - which is costly.

The aid packaging was hard to open.
but previously -
according to the Council on Foreign Relations:
How does Israel use the aid?
Most of the aid—approximately $3.3 billion a year—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services. Israel has also historically been permitted to use a portion of its FMF aid to buy equipment from Israeli defense firms—a benefit not granted to other recipients of U.S. military aid—but this domestic procurement is to be phased out in the next few years. U.S. aid reportedly accounts for some 15 percent of Israel’s defense budget. Israel, like many other countries, also buys U.S. military products outside of the FMF program.
Additionally, $500 million a year is slated for Israeli and joint U.S.-Israeli missile defense programs, in which the two countries collaborate on the research, development, and production of these systems used by Israel, including the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow II. Iron Dome was solely developed by Israel, but the United States has been a production partner since 2014. For instance, the U.S. military contractor Raytheon manufactures Tamir interceptor missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome at its facilities in Arizona.

yes that makes sense, i think most of the Europe aid to Ukraine is also to be used purchasing their products and materials.

That Israeli aide now an issue, as we are seeing American weapons being used on civilians and growing uproar as the Rafa operation intensified.

Can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs
Essence of Hamas’s military doctrine is hide behind civilians...so it's on them.
And, what's with NOT allowing refugees to escape a war zone?
That one is on Egypt.
Hopefully, IDF kills every last Hamas bitch, mutilates their bodies and doesn't allow a traditional Islamic burial.......
Hamas fucked up, time to pay the price.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Really hate when somebody starts a war and knocks the weather off the front page!
Fuck those putos!

I agree GBD. Poke the bear enough and you’re going to get bitten. I think Israel has the right plan. Now will it work in the long run? I doubt it, Palestine has been at war for thousands of years. Alexander the Great finally gave up on it.

I don't think the House Republicans will let this bill get past them. They have become the "do nothing" House Republicans. Wait and see. They still haven't approved a budget bill for the U.S. yet. Their only agenda for this year is to not approve any funding for anything. This will eventually cause the economy to crash before the November election...all to get Trump elected. He'll probably win regardless. Major Haley said it right..."The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest lead the pack".
