This simple question should be asked of anyone seeking our vote. Succinct and to the point. If you don’t like the answer, don’t support the candidate.

Because most of DC operates in a Cold War mindset and is completely out of touch with 99% of the United States.

It certainly seems to be for the large majority of the executive and legislative branches.

Illegal immigration is good for Wall Street

Endless war is good for Wall Street

Because the southern border does not contain secret intel bases and bio weapon labs that need to be protected.

The recent "border security bill" might be contributing to the confusion:

$14 billion to Israel border security
$20 billion to US border security
$60 billion to Ukraine border security?

Can you succinctly explain why 3 times the amount allocated to US border security was allocated to Ukraine border security?

Because the people coming over our border are overly left-leaning voters, and the money going into Ukraine comes back to the people who send it. It's the modern Triangle Trade. The democrats are self-funding and self-electing.

Her is your answer, politician style.

I don’t believe that any borders are more important than the borders of the United States. My colleagues and I have worked and will continue to work to solve the issue. What is happening there is unsustainable for the long term viability of our nation. But we also have an obligation to protect democracy around the world from the tyranny of authoritarian dictators. The unchallenged spread of tyranny affects all of us and the future of all societies and civilizations. We can not stand by while ann evil and corrupt cloud blankets the world in darkness. America is the greatest democracy in the history of humankind and it is our responsibility to continue to protect and spread the ideals of freedom and liberty. This is not to imply that our border is of less importance or urgency but we are a nation of great people who , through hard work and steadfast dedication , have fought for and maintained the standard of freedom better than any civilization in history. We can continue to work on the southern border issue…and I assure you that we will fix the problem, while also protecting democracy across the world.

Why is Israel’s border more important than ours and why is nobody making a fuss over all the money and everything else we invest in over there?

The Loyalists turned border security into a political football with the Muh Wall bullshite. Democrats don't care about "migrants" and Republicans don't care about border security.
