WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is considering a conditional cash transfer program to help address economic woes that lead migrants from certain Central American countries to trek north, as well as sending COVID-19 vaccines to those countries, a senior White House official told Reuters on Friday.
The possible cash transfer program would be targeted at people in the Northern Triangle region of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, Roberta Jacobson, the White House’s southern border coordinator, told Reuters in an interview, without saying who exactly would receive the cash.
Roughly 168,000 people were picked up by U.S. Border Patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border in March, the highest monthly tally since March 2001 and part of steadily increasing arrivals in recent months.
“We’re looking at all of the productive options to address both the economic reasons people may be migrating, as well as the protection and security reasons,” she said.
Jacobson did not provide a detailed explanation of how any cash transfer program would work.
Jacobson said that no decision had been made regarding whether to prioritize sending vaccines to the Northern Triangle countries, but added that the Biden administration would consider how the vaccines could help.
From “billions for defense but not one penny for tribute”....
...to THIS!
Welcome to BIDENISTAN!
I wonder what will be Joe Biden’s cut of that “foreign aid” money?
Bribery.. Sure, it works when it’s used on him, why wouldn’t he think it would works on others... :(
BiXiden is not already outta OPM?
Cartels’ll be following the postman...
We are the world bank...never ending supply of cash to everyone but legal citizens.
$1400 for citizens vs several thousand for all others
I always did believe Obama got a good cut of that money he sent to Iran..
OMG, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
then I find out Cujo is going to give illegals $15000 each
and then I find out that a Boston hospital is going to give free care to blacks and give their care FIRST over whites..
and now we're sending money into foreign countries so they won't crash our borders...
I got no stimulus...I will pay huge property taxes in a couple of weeks....
if I didn't continue to work until I was just over 67 I probably would have gotten the dang stimulus....so we're $2800 down just from that....
it does not pay to work or be a legal citizen or carry on like a good person and obey laws....
I think the Romans tried this...it didn’t work out too well.
Let Obama, Biden, Soros and Gates pay for it and leave the US tax payers out of it. Let Amazon kick some money in too. How about Facebook and Twitter put up or shut up too. Have Coke and the drug companies pitch in too. And blabbermouth Oprah. She needs to send them some.
Have Prince Harry, Megan and the rest of the elite put THEIR money where their mouths are.
Right.
Not yet out of OPM so in case there is any money left after tax increases and reparations and inflation (such as gas and food lately) he wants to wring some more blood out of the American citizen turnips. Ouch.
I’m positive that cash won’t go to coyotes to smuggle in illegals.
How many will use it to pay coyotes to get them to the US?
You idiot Jackass Joe! Just finish the wall and send everyone home. You are an absolute senile, demented, retromingent, corrupt, pedophile. We are so screwed ....
The Svengali regime of Jackass Joe and the Indian Ho teeters on. We are so screwed....
If they stay home then they aren’t illegals.
Problem solved.
Boy is that a good idea! Now, the various Central American Oligarchs, Military Juntas, and corrupt Dictators can put in that new Koi pond, re gold plate their offices, and afford all those courtesans they have on retainer. Should only cost three or four trillion, I expect. Refugees? What refugees?
They will all demand $2,000 EVERY MONTH for all eternity.
