Nuh uh, you misunderstood is a silly way to go through life.

“I assume you mean the dumbest thing i can possibly imagine because that’s easier to argue against” is equally silly.

I'm sure your plain words don't mean what they seem to mean. That's my fault.

My plain words never said what you said they did. You are just trying to dunk on me so you are refusing to meet me where I’m explicitly trying to meet you.


1) i never said we SHOULD do anything
2) I never said walls dont work
3) i definitely never said i trust our government or any other government to honestly or effectively spend a dollar on ANYTHING
4) i never said that my preference over all other options is to invest in these countries.


I simply stated that, if invested honestly, stabilizing your volatile neighbors has a positive impact on unwanted immigration. And given that that could be done, would be a better use of a dollar than stabilizing the Middle East. Seems pretty cut and dry.

Now if you want to debate whether we SHOULD be doing that, find another guy. Because i dont think the US government should be doing 90% of what its already doing.

I’m simply talking efficacy of an idea.
