It is reprehensible that trump and the maga congress are attempting to shoot down the bipartisan border bill just so the situation can remain a problem and be an issue for trump to capitalize on during his bid for the presidency. I find it despicable and think anyone with any sense should be able to see the hypocrisy of the republican party and how they do not work for the people of this country. But I also must say that I'm totally against the 14 billion dollars for Israel that is included in the bill. 14 billion dollars!!! We already have over 6 billion dollars earmarked for them every year as part of the annual budget and now they want to give them an additional 14 billion? Totaling over 20 billion of our tax dollars for the year? Why? So they can continue slaughtering the Palestinians and reducing their cities to rubble?
Obviously the system is fudged up at best and corrupt at worst. There shouldn't be anything piggybacked onto the bill or any other bill. Bills should focus on one issue or catastrophe at a time and shouldn't have the individual whims of a politician tacked on just to secure a vote. But unfortunately the republicans blocked funding to Ukraine, saying that we need to focus on our own border problem instead and so here we are. I understand the aid to Ukraine as that is part of the age-old battle this country has against communism with our number one adversary. I might not agree with the ideology but I get it. But 14 billion dollars to Israel on top of the over 6 billion dollars they already receive is absolutely unnecessary and only adds to the insecurity of this nation and instability around the world.
