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.”

Unless there is a triple-cross in the conference committee, the double-cross already haven taken place, PDJT has to sign it. The first of the month is rapidly approaching and many are past their last paycheck. So far, it’s all on SanFranNan but if he vetoes it, he will own it in the eyes of those not paying attention.

You settle down.

The USSC has reversed only 10 decisions ever. The last in 1990.

The only other way the USSC is circumvented from a ruling is by an amendment to the constitution.

It's as settled as settled can be.

Trump needs to start a new party. I have no idea why I'm voting for the GOP anymore. #DumpTheGOP

My post was in response to a comment made earlier by JoeSixChip. In that context it will make sense. Each line is an entity unto itself with respect to what Republicans allowed into the bill before final passage.

So the line, “The Coronavirus porkulos bill jumped up by $500,000,000 in the last few minutes before final vote” stands by itself as a comment as do each of the others.

Where did I imply that that was the sum total of the list that followed? If I meant that I would have stated that!

Original article was from Conservative Treehouse.

Reading comprehend much?

“Trump should bring this up non-stop 24/7 how democrats ignore Americans in need in favor of illegals.”

Exactly!

Get out there on TV and radio like one of the “fireside chats” that FDR did, and lay it out item by item.

Then turn it into campaign ads in targeted districts.

There is a lot that can be done with this between now and election day.

I understand completely your point, from the fiscal aspect FRiend.
The disappointment comes from the realization that so many, particularly on the left, have not only completely lost any semblance of humanity, more, they care nothing for the people of this nation in these very uncertain times.

I used to think the Left was plain, and simple - consumed by their hatred for Trump. Now, I believe that yes, it drives their actions, but it is clearer now, that no situation here, no matter how dire - can check them.
Can move them to do the right thing.
The best thing for this nation and the people who live here.

They are fully revealed.
The question now is, once we get through this mess, what We are going to Do, and How we are going to do it.
Prayers that Americans remember in November, and not only reelect PDJT, but take the House, and shore up the Senate.

Thank you for the discussion good sir,
stay well,
Tatt

Rueful smile - ah yes. But as Maggie Thatcher observed - The problem with Socialism is - eventually you run out of other peoples money ;)

And at this rate, with so many younger folk feeling okey doke with little letter s, they will run out of it waaaay faster than anyone could ever imagine.

Whew.

Dear Lord, guide and strengthen us, FRiend.

Cities are already becoming literal sh*tholes where people are taking dumps on the streets and sidewalks. Not to mention some city sewers are approaching overflow because they can only take so much. I think someone said that TB and other diseases were already getting problematic in parts of London.

How much of that is spent on Hollywood and Wall Street? I am guessing way more.

Well, building a border wall is reasonable action to prevent Coronavirus.

Oh that was not clear.

Now your post is comprehensible

So what was the 500M in reference to?

Anything in the list you posted?

No matter though.

Nancy will be working through the night adding her agenda items to the bill.

Cause Trump said he would sign it.

She is a dictator, more on that later gotta go.

Let’s give it a try. I just sent the following note to President Trump:

Dear Mr. President,

You are doing a fantastic job for our country... Thank you.

Perhaps you could point out that the bill just passed that Republican and Democratic senators unanimously voted to pass a coronavirus relief bill late Wednesday that gives $350,000,000 to assist refugees and migrants. This is unfair.

Why are immigrants more important to these legislators than working, patriotic Americans, and American vets who fight and die for America?

The uninformed do not know this. Why not point this every time you are speaking to America?

Respectfully,

Mark Davis
