Democrat Plan Spends $870M for Border Security in Middle East, No Funding for U.S. Border Wall

A Democrat budget plan spends hundreds of millions of American taxpayer money on border security for a multitude of Middle Eastern countries while stripping all funds for construction of a border wall at the United States-Mexico border.

On Tuesday, the Democrat-controlled House Appropriations Committee released their Department of Defense funding bill that includes $870 million in taxpayer money for “border security” measures in foreign countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

Of that funding, $150 million will go to Jordan to help “enhanced border security.” Likewise, the budget allocates $500 million to be used “to provide assistance to the government of Jordan to support the armed forces of Jordan and to enhance security along its borders.”

While the budget funds border security in the Middle East, an accompanying Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget released by House Democrats on Tuesday strips all funding for construction of a border wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Specifically, the DHS budget rescinds the previously appropriated $2.06 billion for border wall construction and provides no funding for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents. It also allows up to $100 million that was previously designated to build a border wall to instead go to the Department of Interior.

The funding initiatives come as illegal immigration has continued to skyrocket under the President Joe Biden’s administration’s expansive Catch and Release policy whereby border crossers are being quickly released into the U.S. interior after a brief detainment with DHS.

Current projections predict that about 1.2 million border crossers will be encountered at the border by the end of the year and hundreds of thousands more will successfully cross the border, undetected.

House Democrat Budget Revokes Border Wall Funding, Expands ‘Sanctuary’ for Illegal Aliens

A House Democrat budget for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revokes funding for a border wall along the United States-Mexico border and expands on President Joe Biden’s initiative to provide sanctuary to as many illegal aliens in the U.S. as possible.

On Tuesday, the Democrat-controlled House Appropriations Committee released their DHS funding bill for fiscal year 2022 that decreases funds for border controls and interior immigration enforcement, including stripping funding from border wall construction.

“I adamantly oppose my Democratic colleagues’ proposed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security,” Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN) told Breitbart News in a statement.

The nearly $53 billion budget cuts Customs and Border Protection (CBP) funding by almost $930 million and reduces Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding by $1.5 million compared to the current fiscal year’s spending levels.

The budget rescinds the previously appropriated $2.06 billion for border wall construction and provides no funding for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents. It also allows up to $100 million that was previously designated to build a border wall to instead go to the Department of Interior.

Meanwhile, the budget shifts funds of $132 million for “new technology” along the border, a longtime talking point of Democrats and establishment Republicans who argue that a virtual wall is more feasible than physical barriers that stop or deter border crossers.

For ICE, the budget provides $332 million less towards the agency’s Civil Immigration Enforcement Operations while spending $475 million to expand alternatives to detention for illegal aliens that more easily allows detainees to be released into the U.S. interior.

Most consequential, the budget prevents ICE agents from deporting an illegal alien who applies to sponsor an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) and illegal aliens whose only criminal history is possession of marijuana.

Similarly, the budget expands on Biden’s “sanctuary country” orders by:

• Requiring DHS to provide detained border crossers access to attorneys
• Banning funding for a portion of ICE’s 287(g) program that allows officers to arrest suspected illegal aliens
• Prohibiting deportations for illegal aliens with “pending claims for humanitarian relief”
• Banning the Homeland Security Investigations unit from engaging in civil immigration enforcement matters
• Requiring ICE detainees to be paid the local prevailing minimum wage for work conducted while in detention

“This bill would rescind all prior year’s border wall funds and make it impossible for border patrol and immigration officers to do their job,” Fleischmann said. “Just like last year, the bill Democrats are pushing uses the brave men and women who protect our county every day as political pawns in a never-ending game to undermine border security and create open borders for undocumented migrants to flow into our nation.”

The budget will go before a committee hearing on Wednesday.

Exclusive — Rep. Ted Budd: Democrats’ Border Neglect Is a ‘Long Play to Change the Demographics of the Country’

Democrats use illegal immigration to change American demographics for political benefit, Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC) noted on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.

Pollak highlighted Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) recent description of El Paso, Texas, as “the new Ellis Island” while meeting Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday near the U.S.-Mexico. He asked why Democrats broadly refuse to acknowledge the status quo of illegal immigration and its consequences.

“Why are they denying reality?” asked Pollak. “Everybody can see it. The media doesn’t want to see it, but people know it’s going on. Why do they think they can get away with this?”

Budd replied, “I think it’s a long play to change the demographics of the country. You flood all 50 states. Of course, these people don’t just stay in Texas or Arizona or close to the border. They travel all over the U.S.. and people vote with their feet, right? They’re very rational. With loose border policies from the Democrats, they want to come to a better country; even with all these problems that we are talking about in our country, America is still the best place on earth, so they come here.”

 

Budd noted that Democrats and their political allies regularly call for amnestying illegal aliens and providing them with citizenship.

He remarked, “Eventually, [Democrats] will give them amnesty, which is a Democrat idea, and then that changes the power structure forever, and for the next 50 to 100 years, it’s Democrat control of our country, hands down. So we can’t allow it to happen because they’re seeking to curry favor with these people in the future. It’s a very simple, but a very bad strategy.”

The Biden administration’s policies have essentially surrendered control of the U.S.-Mexico border to transnational criminal cartels, Budd observed.

He said Democrats “are creating a moral crisis at the borders, and by allowing cartels to come through with human trafficking, the sex trafficking, it’s just devastating what you’re seeing the cartels do. I’ve talked to law enforcement when I’ve been down to the border. I’ve been there multiple times … meeting with Customs and Border Patrol. They say there’s very little operational control from law enforcement, only because of lack of funding and lack of emphasis under the Democrat administrations. They have lack of operational control 30 miles north [and] 30 miles south of the border.”

Harris’s refusal to acknowledge the harm illegal immigration and a porous border cause amounts to a “dereliction of duty,” Budd determined.
