$1.7T omnibus bill funds border security in foreign nations, but prohibits it in US

 The Omnibus Bill

  • The omnibus bill contains a number of controversial spending provisions, including language that prohibits Customs and Border Protection from using its $1.5 billion in funding to "acquire, maintain, extend, or acquire border security technology and capabilities."
  • It allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.
  • Some Republicans are disgusted that even Republicans are willing to throw the American people under the bus, that they're not willing to provide border security
