Trump has reportedly urged Congress to authorize $175 billion for border security, more than 10 times what was spent during his first term.
Meanwhile, border residents in Texas and Arizona say their basic needs — like safe drinking water and hospital access — aren’t being met.

@ProPublica let me get this straight.
First he wants to cut $880b in budget for medicare and medicaid, and second he makes an EO to dismantle The Department of Education. Third he tariffs nearly everyone basically tanking the economy + making everything slightly more expensive to buy.
Now he wants to add insult to injury by using money in a failing economy - money that will be taken from medicare, medicaid and The Department of Education - to fund $175b on border security.
Are you ok USA?
