    Why are we giving foreign aid to Mexico ? ...

    Actually, why are we giving foreign aid to any country?
    Most of the recipients are either tin pot dictatorships,
    or outright socialistic regimes. There are worthy cases
    like Israel and Egypt that without our help might succumb
    to the muslim fanatics, but for the most part, why can't
    countries support themselves without help from outside
    sources ? I'm not sure that giving money guarantees
    loyalty, I think some would sell us out in a minute if they
    received a more lucrative offer,but in any case if these
    countries can't survive on their own then they're obviously
    doing something wrong and need to change because all
    we're doing in most cases is filling Swiss bank accounts.

    Lawmaker wants to pay for Trump's wall by canceling $2,000 of foreign aid to Mexico for EVERY illegal immigrant who crosses the border
    THAT makes sense! And if it doesn't work -- raise the price to $20,000.

      We should be delivering a bomb to Mexico for every illegal immigrant. I think it would stop.

            Agree. Before we became so hell bent on being PC and not wanting to offend those who invade and attack us this is exactly what we would have done and used them to boot.

              I feel your pain on this DT .....

              Along a different route ..... at least 25% of aide to Mexico is military . And some of our most powerfull "votes" here in the US are arms manufacturing stock holders . Mexico receives a little over 1/2 of one % of our foriegn aide . Isreal is 9 - 10 times that amount.

              So... a lot of people have happy pensions going on because we provide others with aide...
