A bill to deal with the immigration surge on the U.S.-Mexico border won a temporary reprieve in the Senate Wednesday as lawmakers maneuvered to offer some response to the crisis before adjourning for the summer. Senators voted 63-33 to advance the $3.5 billion emergency spending bill over an initial procedural hurdle. But with the GOP opposed, there was little expectation that the legislation would ultimately prevail with only days left before Congress' annual summer recess.What's not obvious is that this $3,500,000,000 (more than I make all year!) bill is controversial because it includes both "support" for illegal immigrants, but other measures such as support for the Israelii's ... who face their own immigrations issues, but on a different level.
The compromise would eliminate aid for Israel ... the only Democratic country in a Middle East filled with people who hate Israel and America. Does it seem more palatable if it cuts 0.225 $billion earmarked for our allies?
The bill includes $2.7 billion for more immigration judges, detention facilities, enforcement measures and other steps to deal with the tens and thousands of youths who've been arriving illegally in South Texas without their parents. It does not include legal changes to permit authorities to turn unaccompanied Central American migrant youths around at the border without deportation hearings that existing law guarantees -- a GOP demand that Democrats say would send the kids back to terrible conditions.Here's an alternative suggestion: If you MUST spent $3.4 Billion, allocate only the $225 mil which would have gone to Israel to a plan which would immediately bus all aliens found crossing our southern border to ... say .. Tiajuana.
Drop them off.
Go back and pick up another busload.
They got to the border without our help; let them go back where they came from without our help.
They are MEXICO's problem, not ours. Mexico should consider this a "humanitarian crisis".
They got NAFTA from Clinton; they can take "HellNo" from Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones.
Does that sound cruel and heartless? See here.
We need to apply focus humanitarian aid to our own people first, and then to the international allies who support freedom AND take responsibility for the welfare of their own society.
Democratic allies (other than Mexico and other southern states) would get the funding which would unwisely been allocated to the "Southern Refugee Problem".

Not a good bill in many ways and would not solve the invasion we are undergoing. A waste of money.
