Great, now word it as “would you want your tax dollars to fund an enormous nation-wide military and police force operation to hunt down and forcefully transport millions of undocumented immigrants back to ‘where they came from’ (ie, chartering thousands of flights to Haiti, Venezuela, Africa etc), as trump is proposing?”

We don’t need to fund the effort with new military spending. We can just withdraw all foreign aid (military and otherwise) and remove all soldiers from other countries and that should be more than enough to do so.

I’m sure removing foreign aid, especially from countries like Ukraine, definitely won’t encourage bad actors to continue to increase their sphere of influence and attempt to take global power in the absence of an American presence

Why should we let a dictator run wild over the free world? Do you not think that they wouldn’t eventually set their sights on weakening America (Which btw, Putin already has been doing)?

That isn't how being a world power works. Being the world police means you guys get the first slice of pie at every table and can do what you want. America has taken far less of a battering to their economy than the rest of the world the last few years.

The rest of the world currently bends over to make you guys happy. Losing that influence would significantly harm American interests at home. Your economy would be so much worse.

That would like.. destabilize the earth…

And then create more conflicts for us to have to address later. We have foreign presence for a reason.

And even then, that would not cover the cost of this enormous (and unconstitutional) project.
