President Trump vowed to reduce foreign aid to Central American countries whose citizens are marching toward the U.S. border, saying Sunday that the money "is probably just stolen" by corrupt leaders.
"We pay these countries by the way -- Honduras, El Salvador -- we pay these counties hundreds of millions of dollars, which by the way we will be stopping very soon," Trump said at a campaign rally in Georgia.
"They don't do a damned thing, they don't do a damned thing for us," Trump said.
After a crowd of thousands of asylum seekers entered Mexico, Trump announced in an Oct. 22 tweet that he would "begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid" to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The large caravan includes many people concerned about poverty, violence, and corruption in their home countries. Trump argues, however, that the march amounts to an attempted "invasion" of the U.S., with many criminal members.

We're not very demanding of any audits when we send $$ to other nations.
ReplyDeleteExactly!!! Those people don't see the money. That is why Trump is cutting funding. He is smart enough to hit it where it hurts and those fat cats in charge are the ones hurting. Only then will you see Mexico try to stop migrants from heading to the US border. Meanwhile liberal scum is feeding the money to the immigrants and helping them so they can use them as pawns for votes.
ReplyDeleteCan we just end it?
ReplyDeleteNo accountability so no foreign aid. Cut it ASAP.
ReplyDeleteLet's spend our American tax payer money here ! We're wasting it in these historically corrupt and unreformable nation's.
