I pray for you, and for the rest of the West. When you're willing to spend billions on the world, but not deal with the 17000 arrests at the border this year alone of known criminals? It's clear the global socialists have some under their thumb.

Gidley: 'Scary' that Dem plan to reopen government spends more on foreign aid than border security
Deputy White House Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters Wednesday night that House Democrats' proposal to end the partial government shutdown "isn't real" and said it was "scary" that the legislation included more money for foreign aid than for border security.
"As some of the details leak out from the Democrat proposal, you now see that they have more funding for foreign countries in aid than they do for border security, and that should be scary to any American," Gidley said in a brief statement on the White House driveway.
On Monday, Democrats unveiled a pair of bills, neither of which includes the $5.7 billion President Trump wants for his long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Instead, one piece of legislation temporarily funds the Department of Homeland Security at current levels, with $1.3 billion for border security, through Feb. 8.
The other measure includes a bipartisan bill to fund the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and related agencies. That legislation specifically provides for $54.4 billion in discretionary spending, $12 billion more than Trump requested in his own budget blueprint. Some of the line items in the measure include $3.3 billion in security assistance for Israel, $1.68 billion toward international peacekeeping, $7.8 billion toward international disaster assistance and refugee assistance, and $5.7 billion toward the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief program (PEPFAR).
Trump expressed his frustration with the proposal to reporters Wednesday, lamenting that "The Democrats want $12 billion more in foreign aid … but they won’t approve $5.6 billion for a wall. It’s purely politics."
