    Hard to see how building a wall benefits the despots. I thought these charities were more fond of grassroots, local charities. Many those are run by outsiders but I can't imagine the locals are too upset when such people build them a school or whatever.

    It's the despots who run these places who get the cash. Also don't forget our cash funds the trough that all these middle class NGO types have their snouts in as well.
