The hefty budget bill, sanctioned by Congress and authorized by President Biden a month ago, perpetuates a longstanding tradition of allocating considerable sums for border security in numerous Middle Eastern nations. This comes even as the contentious discourse over the apt methods for securing the United States border remains unresolved.

The colossal $1.2 trillion package delineates appropriations for various departments including defense and homeland security, and stipulates a specific allotment of $380 million, scheduled to be available until September 2025. This fund is aimed at reimbursing several countries including Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman for their intensified border security efforts. Of these, Jordan is allocated a special quota of $150 million.

This provision has embraced several omnibus budgets in past years, instigating dissatisfaction among numerous Republicans who perceive this as an unwarranted expenditure. They condemn this allocation, noting the ironic timing - a period when some of their Democrat counterparts display reservations about spending for protective measures such as the construction of border walls on the U.S. southern border.

This massive spending package, although it succeeded in gaining bipartisan approval in both Congressional houses to circumvent a potential government closure, triggered significant pushback from conservative factions.
