100% would be much better....nothing like having a nation full of poor people staring across a border at the rich and opulent lifestyle often just feet away...

There is nothing that will drive Central and South America as well as Mexico and the Caribbean to the left like the US cutting off aid...it is a brilliant idea if your goal is introducing communism to the region in a way that Venezuela and Cuba has never been able to do....

You know, t want, you are free to move to Mexico at any time. You could actually do something for these poor people instead of talking the talk all the time.

Do it.

How many whining liberals would have to donate what amount to replace that money if you guys care so much.

Do something. Stop bitching all the time.

As I begin getting ready to explain a rebuttal to this thought process, I notice

FWIW, most of the latino's here legally LOVE Trump. I work in an office full of them.

Trump got 30% of the Latino vote with all the media saying he was going to break up Latino families and kick them all out of the country or put them in internment camps. I'd say this will have no effect at all.

That Israeli aid is tied to them spending it on usa- made products. Your tax dollars go for the military industrial complex. Buy stock now.

How much would we save if we stopped aid for 3 years? I mean, I understand why we do it. Some for humanitarian reasons and some for SJW preening and some just to buy friends...but damn...it would be nice to get our own finances in order. We could do a lot more good if we weren't so far in debt.

I'm even OK with keeping the humanitarian part for some countries, just get rid of the all the other blatant lining of pockets of oligarchs and billionaires and such.

No. Your sample size of 4, 3 of whom you probably misjudge is not indicative of the Hispanic population. A vast majority (here legally if you need to make that distinction) don't like trump. And it's not close to being close

But if you disagree then you're welcome to research it and provide us some hard numbers (not a made up office straw poll)

I don't even have words to describe how happy this makes me... cutting aid to Mexico by 47%

you want illegal immigration to go down, but you want to cut funding and make those shithole countries even less desirable to live in?

great call! i'm sure that won't adversely affect the number of residents of those countries that leave and enter ours illegally.

Serious question so you can change minds.


What evidence is there that the money we give them actually keep people in Mexico actually in Mexico?

Should be some good links/info because of the amount of money we give them annually.
