U.S. taxpayers paying for Jordan’s border wall

While American politicians fight efforts to establish any border security between the U.S./Mexico, President Obama has secretly sent a half billion dollars to the country of Jordan for them to build their own border wall.

Here’s more from Vice News:

The wall, which began as a $20 million project in 2008 to erect a set of surveillance towers along a 30-mile (50 km) stretch of the border with Syria, has since expanded into a program costing half a billion dollarsPhases 2 and 3, the building of a fully integrated and networked fence running along a 275-mile(442 km) stretch of Jordan’s borders with Syria and Iraq and costing some $300 million

It’s all paid for by the United States taxpayer. The JBSP is loosely part of a wall-building program to stop weapons of mass destruction sponsored by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, focused not just on Jordan but also on the borders of Turkey, Iraq, and Lebanon.
