One of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s talking points in his campaign has that he wants to protect our borders. He wants to secure the American people from the dangers of illegal immigration and strengthen those borders by building a wall.
However, it seems that President Barack Obama wanted to do one lasting thing before leaving office, so he gifted Mexico $75 million … to help the Mexicans build a wall to improve their border security.
According to a Financial Times story cited by Newsmax, Mexico wanted to stop people from Central American countries like Guatemala from entering their country via its southern border.
A reported 175,000 Central Americans were deported from Mexico last year, and this year that number has gotten close to 100,000 already.
The money went to equipment and training to help Mexico secure its border to the south. Ultimately, Obama’s thinking went, this will help America because it will stop Central Americans from winding up at America’s doorstep via Mexico.
Cue the collective “What the … ?” from all over the country.
Democrats do not want any walls built. Republicans want a wall on the northern border of Mexico — you know, the one actually bordering America.
Their southern border is Mexico’s problem, one that perhaps the U.S. should be willing to discuss with Mexico … after they agree to pay for Trump’s wall.
Republicans and Democrats haven’t agreed on much lately, but they can agree that not only is this idea ridiculous … it is hypocrisy at its finest.

“Republicans want a wall on the northern border of Mexico — you know, the one actually bordering America.”
Really? Name one who has actually done anything about it.
It takes the argument away that Obama/Hillary are not opposed to immigration walls.
So when Trump's in office, he can use the approval (or lack of censure by the GOPe) to get our southern wall done.
Zero is absolutely the biggest hypocrite. But he will still hand over his power to Trump in January 2017 and that will be a glorious moment to see Zero gone and our redeemer Trump in office!
Thanks for the ping.
What a complete loser on his last days in office.
On top of everything else.
