Mexico: U.S. To Spend $10.6B To Curb Migration From Central America
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Mexican government claims the U.S. has agreed to allocate billions in aid to Central America.
According to the Mexican Foreign Minister on Tuesday, the U.S. State Department will spend $10.6 billion to tackle poverty and crime in southern Mexico and Central America.
Officials believe this will help curb mass migration into the U.S.
This comes as the government faces a shutdown over what some say is the result of democrat obstruction of the President’s request for $5 billion for the border wall.
Additionally, officials also said the U.S. aid will come in the form of a public-private partnership. Mexico’s Foreign Secretary said the U.S. and Mexico will take-charge of the initiative, which he believes will lead to “a prosperous and secure Central America, addressing the causes of immigration.”
President Trump previously weighed cutting aid to Central America, unless the local governments stop the flow of drugs, violent crime, and mass migration into the U.S.

We can afford to give Mexico OVER 10 BILLION to deal with the immigration problem but they don't want to spend 5 billion to secure OUR OWN BORDERS. Just in case you were wondering about the Democrats stance on stemming the actual flow of illegal immigration into this country.
The majority of said funds will most likely wind up in the hands of corrupt politicians and/or the drug cartels. It's happened before...
In addition to the $320M we already give to Mexico annually - wanna buy a taco truck???
Sure, funnel money into corrupt govts who have never been able to control their countries before instead of building a wall that would stop not only illegal aliens but also drug smugglers and criminals. What could go wrong????
" 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.
Ebrard had previously suggested that about $25 billion in U.S. investment would be an appropriate figure for what Mexicans and Central Americans have dubbed “The Alliance for Prosperity” in the region."
OK - Trump wanted $25B to build the wall and improve security and slow illegal immigration. He got NOTHING. Mexico wanted $25B for "Prosperity" and got $10.6B from the State Department who only has a budget of $47.3B for 2019.
WTF?????? Where did this money miraculously come from? The same place Obama's $170B that went to Iran????
good question
Wait a minute, I thought we couldn't afford to throw more money at the illegal immigration problem. I keep hearing that the only objection to the wall is the cost. What happened to that?
Anyone?
