Republicans Cave To Pelosi, Unanimously Vote To Give $350 Million To Refugees, Migrants
dailycaller ^ | March 26, 2020 | justincaruso

Republican and Democratic senators unanimously voted to pass a coronavirus relief bill late Wednesday that gives $350,000,000 to assist refugees and migrants.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s relief package would include $300,000,000 for refugee assistance.

The new bill, approved by the Senate and now headed to the House, includes an additional $50 million on top of Pelosi’s initial $300 million for refugees.

On page 817 of the 880-page bill, the measure calls for “an additional amount for ‘Migration and Refugee Assistance’, $350,000,000, to remain available until expended, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.”

Mr. President veto this ugly monster of a bill.

Stupid comment; there were 3.3 million new unemployment claims this week; thankfully President Trump and those God fearing leaders surrounding him are going to lead.

The voters decided this on November 6, 2018, when they voted to give Pelosi the majority.

The President interview with Hannity just now really reveals his heart. I love this man. He said it wasn’t what he wanted but it needs to be right now to keep businesses afloat. SO we
had to compromise for now... but in November people will remember that Pelosi put this garbage in there and held thing
up for a week!!!!!!

The media will give Nancy top cover as always. That’s how she gets away with it.

A Democrat psychopathic Jackass can stomp a weak-willed, weak-shelled, gutless Republican Elephant in their sleep.

Next question!.

That will work.

I can see an ad playing in the Bay area:

“To the citizens of San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi has been your representative for over 33 years, and while a friend or family member of yours is suffering from CoVID19, Nancy decided to give $350 million to people who are not here legally. It is time to retire Nancy Pelosi.”

Or something along those lines.

So what was the 500M in reference to?

Exactly what it says.

"The Coronavirus porkulos bill jumped up by $500,000,000 in the last few minutes before final vote."

Once these restrictions are lifted everyone who’s “suddenly unemployed” because of the virus should be able to step right back into the jobs they had.

It’s not a hurricane, earthquake, tornado, or astroid that’s going to wipe out a company for years on end. It’s just a few short weeks were talking about.

People are just going to have to tighten their belts a little for a couple of weeks and not worry about buying the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy.

Quite a few utility companies, and legitimate lenders have now announced bill deferments for up to six months.

He should veto ANY bill.

Unless it costs 50 cents instead of trillions.

Things would be fine in a year.

And 6 trillion altogether wouldn’t have been frittered away
