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 Pelosis 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 Pelosis 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.

LOL good points how true!
Yea, we need to assist them in staying out. Especially now. More fence might help.
It would appear that way.
He unfortunately will probably sign it, because he knows they'll use his veto to beat him over the head with hit. These people don't care about the country. They're in it for the money and power.
tip of the RINO iceberg present against taxpayers.
HAS ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC READ IT YET?
Well, that could be, but I’m hoping POTUS will outsmart them on that front. Jim Rob seems to think Trump will be able to commandeer these finds for additional border security. We’ll see. But the bottom line is, Congress allocates money. The executive branch actually spends it.
I sent an email to the WH this is NOT the bill that was passed page 817 on the bill passed by the Senate has nothing to do with refugees we went through this same thing yesterday everyone reading the wrong bill!! Please if you post anything about this bill PLEASE make sure you are posting the correct bill!! I wrote directly to the POTUS and I feel like a fool!!! This is Nancys wish list bill not the bill that was passed!,,
Save the country NOW. Worry about this shit LATER.
I read it, well, scanned it, and I found no mention of what this article asserts.
It’s fake news.
He still looks better for taking the high ground. They look like just WHO THEY ARE. They surely didn’t get everything they wanted.
Trump thinking about our country’s pandemic, not what he can get free.
Thanks very good info and I agree
Your last sentence is the key
Hmmm I’m a poet LOL
Yet I get nothing. I am sure many do as well. I dont mind helping AMERICANS but WTF
Its not unconstitutional.
Dont be taken in so easily.
On February 12, 1998, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia declared the 1996 Line Item Veto Act unconstitutional, and the Clinton administration appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.
In a 6-3 ruling issued on June 25, 1998, the Supreme Court, in the case of Clinton v. City of New York upheld the District Court's decision, overturning the 1996 Line Item Veto Act as a violation of the "Presentment Clause," (Article I, Section 7), of the U.S. Constitution.
You can blow it out your ass.
Hmm very interesting I hope you are right.
“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.”
I hope Trump spends every cent of this $350 million boondoggle to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus” by throwing the invaders back across the border into Mexico. That would be the best preventative, preparation, and response to illegals who may have the Wuhan Flu.
$350,000,000.00 / $2,000,000,000,000 = 0.018%
A dollar is too much of a reward for a person who breaks the laws of our land.
There should be zero reward for illegals.
Ha ha settle down.
All supreme court decisions are NOT Constitunal.
Many are agenda driven
I can show you in the Constitution where it proves that abortion is NOT supported by the Constitution.
Yet you think it is “settled law”
An example of ‘say something over and over again and everybody will think that it is true’
