The president announced yesterday that The United States is ending all direct assistance to the Northern Triangle nations; El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras.
“At the Secretary’s instruction, we are carrying out the President’s direction and ending FY [fiscal year] 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle,” a State Department spokesperson told ABC News, referring to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “We will be engaging Congress as part of this process.” More
It’s about time. Now shut down the southern border.
The usual suspects are already searching frantically for a Federal Judge, no doubt. Soros will be busy this weekend.
joe6pak, you beat me to it! Wish I could give you 1,000 thumb ups!!
Federal Judges now run the country. Power grab.
Hey Claudia, great minds really do think alike.
Perry, they’re only appointed for life.
And, why in the hell are we giving them money in the first place?
This was a wise move.
The money we give them is obviously not being used for the benefit of their people as was intended.
If it was, their people (probably) wouldn’t be trying to escape to come here.
U.S. borders need to be closed AND funding cancelled for welfare nations in order to effectively deter these invasions. Stopping funding only means the hoards of illegals will continue to rush the border. Their shear numbers are overwhelmingly.
What most Americans don’t realize is in a generation, illegals by birth will become the majority and The United States of America will be unrecognizable. The Constitution will be compromised based on the fact foreign nationals who break our laws, have no regard for our foundational ideals.
President Trump needs to to close the border – NOW.
Bravo !!!
Why is Mexico still receiving funds?
They have allowed the hoards to enter and travel through Mexico to invade ours.
A step in the right direction.
But emigrants will continue to go where the grass is greener. And as long as there are freebies here, this will be their new pasture.
Take the next step- dry up the freebies!
Yes, but however the taxpayer spigot is still wide open when the foreign dirt backs invade the country and are allowed to stay and collect bennies!
Something else we should be looking at is the number of immigrants who are on public assistance, but are sending money back to the old country. Think about the absurdity of us giving people welfare, Section 8 housing, EBT, SNAP, & WIC, health care, etc., so that they can send their wages back to their families.
