The combination of public and private investment for the stay-at-home effort doesn’t require congressional approval, unlike Trump’s signature project to stem illegal immigration — a border wall.

So put them to work, building a wall in Mexico ...

End all foreign aid

It corrupts us, but also corrupts the countries and governments that receive it.

It does not benefit receiving countries. It HURTS them.

This isn’t needed. Those who passed NAFTA assured us that it would create so much economic activity in Mexico that it would end any economic incentive for Mexicans to enter the US illegally.

Problem already solved back in 1993.

US benevolence spewing crap for the crap eating nations.

Your heirs, future taxpayers, appreciate the selfish deeds
of this time. But we can all celebrate with gaiety and happy thoughts.

Mexico has the same resources the USA has. They have lots of oil and other natural resources but they have a corrupt gov’t. We should not be sending any money their way.

This just pisses me off. I hope Trump sends it to the circular file where it belongs.

Me too. I've been trying to call WH all morning. Trump shouldn't sign this if he gets no $$$ for the wall. For Optics, he should agree to not make $5 Billion contingent on signing budget, but he should refuse to sign budget if this $10 Billion is in it. Put the blame on Democrats for 10 billion in foreign aid.
