“Bill Funds Border Security--in Libya, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Egypt...” from CNS News: “The 1,665-page spending bill the Republican-controlled Congress is planning to pass this week includes multiple measures that seemingly demonstrate a commitment to securing the border — in Libya, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon. It does not include the $1.4 billion [Trump] requested to begin building the wall he promised to build along the U.S.-Mexico border. But, the bill makes clear, Jordan's border must be secured. The section that appropriates money for the ‘Global War on Terrorism’ provides: ‘That these funds may be used to support the Government of Jordan, in such amounts as the Secretary of Defense may determine, to enhance the ability of the armed forces of Jordan to increase or sustain security along its borders …’ While the Republican leadership would not appropriate the $1.4 billion needed to start the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, it is appropriating $1.3 billion for aid to Egypt.”
