Republicans Cave To Pelosi, Unanimously Vote To Give $350 Million To Refugees, Migrants
dailycaller ^ | March 26, 2020 | justincaruso

Posted on 03/26/2020 3:49:27 PM PDT by Syncro

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.”

So you think the SC legislating from the bench to make abortion rights the law of the land is ok?

Unconstitutional.

Judges do not make law.

No it’s actually Hominidae.

But you will agree that your use of “you ignorant inciter” is an Ad hominem attack?

Didn’t mean to trigger you so much that you posted that to me TWICE!

Well gee really?

I was responding to his double ad hominid with sarcasm.

I never have understood why posters ‘debate’ with stuff like
you’re flipping out &

For God’s sake, get a grip.

Ok you can’t answer the question or give a valid source link.

H/T is not a source.

The ‘original source’ for this thread is the Daily Caller.

I hope you’re right, but you can bet Democrats want this to go on as long as possible and the media is going to keep promoting it as a modern day black plague

Actually if I were Pelosi, I would be sure to avoid places where buckets of water are handy. Oh, what a world...

Read the whole article and you will see the list I posted here came word for word from the above article that in turn cited Conservative Treehouse.

One other thing: Are you just being an idiot here or are you an idiot full-time?

Now you are acting like you should instead of acting out.

Actually posted a link kind of related.

But had to end with childish insults which erase any credibility you may have gained.

You’re dismissed.

You didn't answer my question?

(Hadn't been on this thread in a number of hours and returned to answer your post to me. So to catch up, I scrolled the comments backwards. And what did I find? You are in a number of pitched, nit-picking battles with other posters. One referred to you as an, "inciter."

I disagree. I consider you to be a loser.)

If it goes away this Summer, it could come back worse in the Fall. Spanish Flu did that. Whatever happens, it is going to wreck the economy for a while.

So, it is true.

When Republicans win, they lose. When Democrats lose, they win.

Agree. Pass it, then just don't use it. Meanwhile, my constant prayer that Pelosi lose her power.

Yep. The demsheviks are going to milk this for all it’s worth.

The little nazi soros reportedly bought millions of dollars worth of ads to blame the President for the virus.

And the mayor of New Orleans is blaming the President for the spread of the virus because he was not being “loud enough” in calling for the Mardi Gras parades to be cancelled.

I don't see any mandate TO spend it at all!

We should be CUTTING SPENDING instead of increasing it. Thousands of worthless programs supporting thousands of government parasites!

350 MILLION DOLLARS to non-citizens!!! ILLEGALS crossing our borders!!! What the heck are we doing??? We are now, with this bill, over 25.5 TRILLION bucks or so, give a trillion or so, in the BIG RED HOLE!!! This nation is totally bankrupt. We are broke. We have no money. We have no way of raising that kind of money. Our children and grandchildren will have to pay this??? What a laugh. We are talking 15 to 20 generations and it will still not be repaid. We will only owe more.

No, we are not only financially bankrupt, but we are morally bankrupt along with it. America is now approving the sale of drugs in stores in cities. We are moving towards any kind of drugs being sold in stores. What is next, the Meth Lab Store where you can buy that good Mexican Meth??

Our LARGEST export not counting military hardware, is PORN!!! Yup, a nation founded on Christian and Jewish values now are run by satan and his satanic hoard in the US Congress. We have approved homosexual behavior and are fast trying to approve pedophilia. Lord haven't we come a long way America? Wouldn't our grand parents, our great, great-great, great-great-great grandparents be proud of us??? They would spit on us for allowing this to come about. We have failed. We are close to losing the Republic. We are one election, just one, from losing what little we have left. One Dim prez and IF they get both Houses, we ARE done!!

Congratulations America, you have finally made yourself the largest stink hole on the planet. Geeze, what in the hell have we become?? Just one old man's opinion.

So about two one-thousandths of one percent of the total bill is going to refugees and migrants? If only the government wasted that little on all their other bills.
