$300 billion? Double that and then add another $100,000,000,000. Would've been better spent on America and Americans.

It would definitely have been better spent on security here. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. We heard before the invasion that Iraq's oil revenue would pay for reconstruction. What a joke that was! Now that the money's been spent on Iraq, maybe we ought to try to make the best of the situation.

As a kid, we prided ourselves in being the largest country in the world with open borders. I don't see a problem with hard working immigrants entering this country. It's what made us great in the first place! I have a problem with the socialistic health care system. I welcome anyone who wishes to create a better life for themselves, instead of those born here who expect it to be handed to them. The money was better spent in the middle eastern dirt than building that stupid wall.

If you want to cut funding from someplace to spend on border security I vote we start with government funding for art. Not the military.

Neither. $300 million should have been given to each man, woman, & child ($1 million per person)- Now thats stimulating the economy, not to mention a savings of $299.7 billion taxpayer dollars that could have been wisely spent on our present and future. F&%$ making the rich richer, sending off our friends and family to die for their pockets. We need to wise up and soon, before we're working in a concentration camp trying to avoid being thrown in the oven.
Even Benjamin Franklin said it, Those willing to trade Liberty for Security deserve NEITHER.

To borrow a line from a Jesse Jackson skit on Saturday Night Live - "The question is moot".

How about education? In the twenty's, when America spent more money on education than any other country at the time, the world loved us. Now, we spend more money on the military than any other country and the world hates us. Go figure.

Of course our borders and security should take priority in spending. But, where else can we see terrorists being killed on a daily basis. Kill 'em there, or we'll have to be killing 'em in our streets.

I say secure our borders. We really have to get tough on who we let in.

Between the two, boarders and security.
