John Binder of Breitbart reports on a recent undertaking on Capitol Hill. It’s an amendment to an amendment that authorizes millions of new dollars for border security.

That sounds impressive, until you realize the money is being appropriated for the borders of eight foreign countries!

It’s not that our lawmakers don’t care about borders. They do care about the borders of many foreign countries.

A Democrat spending bill, negotiated with Republicans, uses American taxpayer money to fund ‘border security’ measures in eight foreign countries while including no new funds to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border.

    The government funding package  spends about $370 million in taxpayer money to fund ‘enhanced border security’ in Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman. At least $150 million of that funding is allocated for Jordan’s borders.

    Likewise, the package includes taxpayer money to fund border security in Libya, ‘border security activities’ in Nepal, and ‘border security programs’ in Pakistan.
