Eliot Engel actually said...

Well, we were actually flabbergasted. We were sitting with American officials when we heard that the president decided to cut all foreign aid to these countries. We had been touring and watching different programs that the United States is paying for, which will ensure that less people immigrate to the United States rather than more. And we saw programs where young people were making software to show that they could survive and have a good future. And you cut that program, what are they going to do? They will immigrate to America. So, it seems to me what the president has done is just the wrong thing, the opposite thing.
