I found it! I found it! Border security, what President Trump wanted!
no . . .wait a minute section says Defense can spend what funds it determines to enhance the border security of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia
Thanks but the gratitude goes to Senator Paul. Everyone should read his tweets on this, with either a stiff drink and/or one's heart pressure medication.
What an effing disgrace. Paul Ryan is such a waste of air.
President trump, there is NO money for the Wall or Border enforcement.
MAN UP and revive Operation Wetback!!

The metal and concrete will be funded for walls in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia.
I got no problem with disaster assistance. The rest I'm not sure about.
What a joke!
Curious how Congress defines "disasters" worthy of $2.7 billion in assistance.
I have a feeling it is a very inclusive definition, covering much more than earthquakes and hurricanes.
I could use a part of that ca$h.
Just a few million.
We had a huge Winter nor'easter the day before yesterday. Several states were moistened. Now there's mud and it's getting tracked on the carpet. Who's going to pay for that?
I believe “hurting Trump’s agenda” was the primary reason Republicans supported and PROMOTED this Bill in Congress. This is the Deep State at work trying to get rid of President Trump. McConnell and Ryan are TRAITORS to the American People. This IS A CIVIL WAR!!!!!!
“Bill” is a great way to describe this....
No wall, but I get my tunnel?
Let’s face it, we have been betrayed by Trump. The deep state must have told him “we will let you remain President, but you must play ball with us”. They must have a photo of Trump with a goat.
Just claim you're a female law enforcement officer in Afghanistan. That's worth a cool $10 million! College student in Lebanon? There's $12 million.
The money's there.
“$10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students”
Just in Egypt or for such students anywhere? I mean let’s make sure we are not leaving any Egyptian students behind.
And there is a hole in the raft.
Maybe he should get a 3-D printer.
Bttt
Yes. They are against The Trump agenda.
