Wall Funding Off the Table - Trump Admin to GIVE Mexico $4.8 BILLION

$4.8 Billion to Mexico, $5.8 Billion to Central American countries. That's $10.6 Billion in aid and ...
No Wall funding - or, at least no requirement of Wall funding to avoid a government shutdown.

DRUDGE highlighted the two stories together.
From the Mexico getting the same amount Trump is asking for on the Wall, the article says,
Looks like Trump is caving and is giving up over $10 Billion in foreign aid to the countries that the migrants are coming from.
Why is he doing this? Any ideas?

It was unclear if Mexico would give anything in return. A planned announcement about Mexico’s migration policy was postponed until Wednesday.
The United States has reportedly wanted Mexico to allow migrants seeking asylum in the United States to remain in Mexico while their applications are processed.

Maybe Mexico will build the wall with the money we give them, lol

I think the idea is for those countries to take care of their own people so they won't need to come here. We all know that isn't gonna happen though.

Well, this thread is pretty crickety.

Is this a gotcha or do you want the wall?

Okay. So, Mexico is paying for the Wall with the money we just gave them?
Looks like that means WE are paying for the Wall.
7-D Chess?

I feel like I'm getting effed by Trump at this point but if Mexico gives it back to pay for the wall I will put his picture on my wall.

That is a great idea and I fully support it. Getting these countries to a place of stability combined with legitimate border security is the best way to stem the tide of illegal immigration. You need both. I'm all for it and it will save us money in the long run.

It's reporting what is going on. It's not a gotcha. This is what is happening. Yes, build the Wall. But, Trump has to secure funding. Where is that coming from? He's blocked in politically.

Hell no it's not. You think if Mexico was stable, the El Salvadorians would want to migrate there instead of US? But I agree, this is a great way to lose his base in a hurry when the whole f'ing platform was BUILD THE WALL, not WE CAN'T BUILD THE WALL B/C WE'RE GIVING OUR WALL MONEY TO MALCONTENTS

The wall was always going to be a bargaining chip. It will never get built. This doesn't surprise or bother me in the least.
My question is what happened to the trillion dollar infrastructure campaign promise?
