This aid doesn’t cost us much— most people wildly overstate how much we spend on it— the tax cut on overtime and other tax cuts for the rich are going to add a lot more to the debt than this and what will have to show for it? Europe spends a lot more per capita on aid than we do btw.
And in case you missed the news lately we aren’t letting any refugees in now (unless you count white farmers from South Africa)— aid like this can actually help stabilize countries and reduce refugees.
Trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor, whether here or abroad, is like telling a millienial to afford a house by not buying avocado toast— it’s pointless and economically senseless but makes some people feel good.
