Understanding someone's rationale isn't the same as endorsing it.
With the 9/11 fund it is a problem that it ran out much sooner than expected, and it's understandable to push against that. Otherwise it's more pressure for politicians to make short-sighted decisions (IE- backing something politically popular under the impression that it will cost several times less than it eventually does.) It's also standard politics to bundle popular legislation with other stuff, usually with the belief that the other stuff will also help the country.
I'll note that I think politicians I disagree with deeply are usually trying to make things better.
I don't support the tariffs but there are some arguments for it, especially as a negotiating tactic.
The conditions in the migrant camps are unfortunate, but what alternative has been suggested? That'll give a better sense of the choice.
