Massachusetts Senator Edward J. Markey is leading the Destination Reception Assistance Act, which would supplement local efforts in providing help navigating the immigration system while also assisting migrants with housing and other necessities.

The bicameral group of Democrats announced the plan Tuesday...The motion put forward by the group, and backed by other Democrats including Elizabeth Warren and Dick Durbin, provides a $3 billion yearly budget provision for fiscal years 2025 through 2028...

Why not use the funds for a $1000 per person Bounty; where U.S. Taxpayers who identify an Illegal, who gets deported, and the Taxpayer gets $1000 per Illegal? This, coupled with the savings from the Billions spent on this “cheap labor express” scheme, removes non-citizens from our former USA, frees up the schools, hospitals, and voter roles from providing Democrat voters for mail-in ballots, too!

The “estimated” $3 billion handout is in addition to this giveaway.

As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024

This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.

Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.

The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”

Plus senior illegals are draining the system, collecting without working a day here, not having put a dime into the system.

“Massachusetts Senator Edward J. Markey ... $3 billion per year in federal funds to help recent migrants become more self-sufficient”

Hey, Markey, you socialist genius: have you ever thought of spending that $3 billion/year on a border wall and more border guards? Among the deportees, I would like to include you, Fauxcahontas, and Turban Durbin.

If you have any other choice you’d be crazy to continue to live in this f’d up country. The USA was taken out a long, long time ago. These goddamned thieving rotten pols and the criminal lovers who keep voting them in are just getting around to picking the spoils clean, that’s us.

Sure Demoncrats, continue to support Illegal Alien future Democratic voters at the expense of American citizens that could use that kind og help. We should rename the Democrat Party to the Traitor Party.

Here’s the scenario I see at Walmart every day: A woman who does not speak English tries to pay for two carts of groceries with a credit card. It is declined. She tries three more cards. They also are declined. Finally, in desperation, the woman opens her purse and out comes brand new one-hundred-dollar bills, one after the other. If these criminals aren’t living the life of Reilly I don’t know who is, all at taxpayers’ expense. And now the gov’t wants to give them even more.

They didn’t come here for “self-sufficiency”. They came here to “pah-tay” on the dumb gringo taxpayers’ dime. The Harris-Biden Edition of the “American Dream”. Pah-tay all night, watch “Da View” with Sonny Hosteen all day.

Pfft. Better than that, the VA takes part of my disability payment each month to pay back the separation pay they gave me 30 years ago.

“...the VA takes part of my disability payment each month to pay back the separation pay they gave me 30 years ago.”

Cesar’s money, Cesar’s rules.

J/k

The VA is supposed to take that money out as soon as a person starts receiving VBA payments. I got my medical separation repayment done a few years ago.

Why don’t republicans push back on we’re all immigrants? Ok it’s mostly true. But when immigrants arrived in the 1940’s with 15 dollars in their pockets, that was it. They dealt with it. They received no help.

Why not let the news media and congress know about this? They seem to believe they don’t have two nickels to their name.
