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.”

Give all the “immigrant “ money to New York. Cuomo will”disappear it” so fast no one will be able to track it and it won’t do what Pelosi wants. Think about it, Cuomo’s got his money and won’t be able to account for it. He cannot ask for more!

Once again, the taxpayer gets screwed without the benefit of vas-o-line. The individuals who actually need the money will receive very little to none of it. The biggest part of it will end up in The Democrat National Committee treasury. The remainder will go into the bank accounts of the Democrat politicians. Nancy takes her cut off the top.

You want the relief? you pay her price. she’s the freaking speaker of the house, you CANNOT completely avoid her.

it would be refreshing if people would stop mindlessly condemning republicans for democrat malfeasance.

He has said he will sign it when it comes to him.

He should gather around him all of the conservatives he knows and give each of them pages of the transcript.

And have them list all of the stuff that needs to be taken out.

And send it back to the house.

Chuck and Nancy need to send a personal apology to Congressman Joe Wilson who called out to Obama, “you lie” when he said that illegals would not get ObamaCare.

It will never happen, but we should never forget how he was savaged for saying and pointing out the obvious.

Sad to say Trump praised the unanimous passage of the bill in the Senate during his daily coronavirus presser today.

History will not be kind to us either. Future generations will study how the WW2 generation sacrificed for future generations. Then they'll contrast it to this generation that, when under crisis, chose to hide in place while financing it on the backs of our children and grandchildren. Awful.

I didn’t give Trump a pass on the Omnibus Spending bill that he signed when Paul Ryan was Speaker, but I would give him a pass here.

Does it say how we have to assist them?

Can we use the money to round them up and quarantine them, for their own safety.

Then have ICE escort them away from the quarantine faciilty.

Less than 2 one-hundredths of a percent of the total bill, and you’re flipping out.

For God’s sake, get a grip.

Yes we do!

This could make this bill work.

See my previous comment.
