If only we could get the chickenhawks here in the US to care about desperate people and half-measures within our own borders as much as you care for desperate people in a country you only care about because you’re told to by your favorite nightly news program. The hundreds of billions in aid we’ve already sent is more than most countries’ entire annual military budget to begin with.
Who said I don’t care about our own borders? There’s no reason I have to choose one over the other. I can recognize the practical geopolitical importance and moral significance of supporting Ukraine (arguably one of the better uses for all that excessive military spending, as opposed to bombing kids in Iraq) and also acknowledge the humanitarian crisis at our border.
Letting Ukraine fall to fascism will not help orphan migrants and victims of cruel border enforcement, and there is enough wealth in this nation to address both.
