When President Donald Trump said he wanted to build a wall along the Southwest border, open-border Democrat and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it “immoral” and “ineffective.” Not only that, but it's also “too expensive.”
So did other Democrats.
But here's what Democrats and globalist Republicans think isn't too high. Continuing to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into Ukraine's futile war against Russia is not only a waste of money, it risks starting World War III.
Thus, the Biden administration released an additional $5.9 billion to prop up the corrupt regime of Ukrainian dictator Volodomyr Zelenskiy.
Total amount since 2022 when Russia invades former satellite: $175 billion. This number significantly exceeds the cost of the wall.
latest package
Biden announced he was “proud” to donate an additional $2.5 billion of U.S. tax dollars to Ukraine.
Since Russia launched further attacks against Ukraine in February 2022, the United States has rallied the world to stand by the Ukrainian people, and my top priority is to provide the support Ukraine needs to win. It becomes. Today's announcement includes an additional $1.25 billion funding package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a $1.22 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) package that builds on this effort. , providing both an immediate influx of capabilities that Ukraine will continue to use. It impacts the battlefield and the long-term supply of air defense, artillery, and other critical weapons systems.
But Biden did not include the actual total in that number.
At the Treasury Department, Secretary Janet Yellen, another far-left Democrat whose money is not an issue, announced $3.4 billion in “direct budget support” would be funneled into Ukraine's coffers.
The $3.4 billion will be the last of this year's $95 billion foreign aid package to the corrupt Zelenskiy government.
“Ukraine's success is in America's core national interests,” Yellin said.
Deterring Russia's illegal aggression helps maintain a global democratic, rules-based order that promotes U.S. security and economic interests and protects against dictators and would-be aggressors around the world. , will send an unmistakable message of unwavering determination to face the challenge. We must not back down in this effort.
The $95 billion includes $61 billion in military and economic aid to Zelenskiy and his cohorts, $17 billion in military aid to Israel, $9.5 billion in “humanitarian aid” to residents of Gaza, Ukraine and other war zones; Dollars included. 1 billion for Taiwan.
As The New American reported in October, per capita aid to Ukraine is $4,605.
“My top priority is to provide the support Ukraine needs to win,” Biden said.
Ukraine will not “win,” but anyway, part of Biden's stupid plan for Ukraine to “win” was to allow America's long-range missiles to be fired at Russia.
As promised by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia responded with intermediate-range ballistic missiles equipped with non-explosive test warheads.
Ukraine costs money, border walls don't.
Democrats believe that American taxpayers have an endless supply of funds to keep dictator Zelenskiy in power, but they do not believe they will spend a dime on a border wall.
Shortly after Trump was elected in 2016 and announced plans to build a border wall, far-left academics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology estimated that the wall would cost $38 billion, far more than Trump's estimate of $12 billion. Reported.
For spending such a meager amount of money on the wall, dumb people wrote, “Great opportunity.”
Additionally, during a hostile debate over funding for the wall, Pelosi repeatedly said the cost of the wall was too high.
President Trump's “attempts to bully taxpayers into funding an immoral and expensive border wall are completely unacceptable,” she wrote in August 2017.
On December 6, 2018, she said funding for President Trump's “immoral, ineffective and expensive” border wall is off the table. On December 20 of that year, she wrote to X that “Democrats support real border security solutions.”
Not to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on unethical, ineffective, and expensive walls.
But thanks to Biden, open-borders Democrats, and globalist Republicans, Americans spent $137 billion more defending Ukraine's border than they spend protecting America's border.
Blocking Biden's wall sale
As for the wall itself, the Biden administration until recently sold the wall material at fire sale prices to prevent President-elect Trump from using it when he takes office in January.
The New York Post exposed the illegal sales in August, and just weeks ago, the Daily Wire videotaped a truck transporting the wall sections.
Four days ago, following a Dec. 17 court filing by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, the administration agreed to halt sales of wall materials.
“Furthermore, the court found that Texas had violated an injunction secured by Attorney General Paxton in May 2024 that required the Biden administration to spend statutory mandated funds after the federal government attempted to build a border wall. Paxton's office said he is entitled to documentation proving that he did not illegally direct the funds.
If the Biden administration is shown to have disposed of border wall material purchased with funds subject to the injunction in violation of a court order, or if the Department of Justice makes false statements regarding border material that was auctioned off, If found to be the case, this would be unethical and illegal. It is a sanctionable act and the responsible party may be held in contempt of court.
