Dems Approved $500 Mil for Border Wall... in Foreign Country

Dems Approved $500 Mil for Border Wall... in Foreign Country As the government shut down continues with the battle over border wall funding not yet resolved, the left’s hypocrisy on the issue continues to be revealed. We have yet another example of how Democratic objections to funding the wall look more like a temper tantrum than an actual, legitimate concern. President Barack Obama helped the Middle Eastern country of Jordan with its construction of a border barrier to the tune of half a billion dollars in 2016 Wait. A country wanted to help stop refugees from entering and Democrats were not only OK with that, but helped pay for it? It gets even better. When the project began in 2008, the price tag was only $20 million. Since then it had grown, as had the cost and amount of funding provided by the United States. So, the United States has funding for a border barrier for a foreign country. But the United States building a barrier and improving upon what is already there is “immmoral.” It is “ineffective.” At least, those are claims being made by Democrats. Every member of Congress has a constitutional duty to “provide for the common defense” of the United States. The funding of such falls under their purview. So, how does funding a foreign country’s border barrier but not our own get passed off as the moral high ground?
