While plenty of Americans are understandably pissed off about this latest $95 billion-dollar foreign aid bill passing the House, Border Patrol and ICE agents are doubly pissed off because it looks as if their government cares more about a foreign country than our own.
Imagine defending the border of a country where your government shrugs its shoulders while sending money overseas.
Bill Melugin shared some texts he was receiving from Border Patrol and ICE when asked about this spending bill:

They have to know this is not popular with the majority of Americans - so the question is WHY do they keep doing it? We're only being a teensy bit facetious here.
Ask them if they are planning on voting blue, Bill.

Not that red has been any better, tbh.
Sadly, a fair point. Enough red voted for this mess for it to pass the House THAT SUPPOSEDLY Republicans control.
