This is infuriating.
Joe Biden and the Democrat majority government are spending $72,000 per person to house illegal aliens and fake refugees in hotels in Texas and Arizona.
The average median household income in America in 2019 was $65,712 per household. And that was before the, before the Fauci lockdowns in 2020.

Biden’s Plan to House Illegal Immigrants in Hotels to Cost Taxpayers $72,000 per Border-Crosser: Report
President Joe Biden’s plan to house migrants in United States hotels is set to cost American taxpayers about $72,000 per border crosser awarded a room, analysis details.
This week, the Biden administration announced it awarded a Texas-based nonprofit an $86 million contract to pay for hotel rooms in the U.S. for border crossers. The contract is for six months and will provide rooms to about 1,200 migrant families.
Analysis by former federal immigration judge Andrew Arthur, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies, finds the cost to taxpayers is expensive.
Arthur writes at CIS.org:
On March 20, Axios reported that the Biden administration has entered into a six-month contract worth $86 million to house 1,200 migrant family members near the Southwest border in Texas and Arizona. That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history.
Keep in mind, as the outlet notes, that $86 million is just the beginning, as the contract (“through Endeavors, a Texas-based nonprofit” — I would hate to see the tab if they were in it for the money) “could be extended and expanded”.
Why does the Biden administration need $86 million in hotel space? ICE, which detains adults and adults traveling with children (family units or FMUs), is already using its family residential centers (FRCs) as “rapid-processing centers with the goal of releasing families within 72 hours”. But apparently even with that short turn-around time, the agency is running out of space.
By the way, $71,666.67 divided by six months equals $392.69 per person per night. One night at the AAA-rated three diamond Best Western Plus Laredo Inn & Suites for two adults and two children is $127.49 per night ($111 for AAA members), and includes a free breakfast, refrigerator, and microwave.
In the past I have ALWAYS forgiven the R’s held my nose and voted for their WEAK, FECKLESS candidates NO MORE!! This was absolutely unforgivable and yes the HATRED this time runs deep!! SCREW THEM ALL!!!!
So theoretically you could enter illegally disguised as a poor migrant looking for help from Uncle Biden and end up with a free paid vacation at a nice hotel! Does it have free internet service and a swimming pool?
They could buy them a damn house for that.
As long as the big guy gets his cut.
Sounds good but so do the many Clinton Foundations...I might give them some credit for leaving out denomination names to sucker in the naive - Lutheran - Baptist - Catholic - all services provided compliments of the US taxpayer and then passed on to the local governments to support from then on.

Keep your eyes on congressional spending. It looks like the traditional tax and spend model has been rigged for failure. There are no countries, able or willing to by our debt. The globalist can’t afford it and the Deep State gets their money from us. Unless I’m missing something, it looks like our currency has been set up to implode if it we crank up the printing presses to pay for our spending.
I spent $12,000 total touring Europe in 2019 for three months and lived comfortably.
going to Costa Rica in May, the first month at a top rate hotel will be $900.
Criminal government.
