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.”

These people are completely useless. I hate them and wish I could run for office. They need to be voted out just as badly as the communists.
NO!!!!! I HATE THESE REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS!!!
rinos and dems are the majority .... regrettably
where’s the money for the disabled and senior citizens on Social Security. I work with both and been fielding complaints that they will get nothing. But NONCITIZENS will get money
Thought he was going to drain the swamp, not do business as usual.
If he won’t it will never happen.
Voting is useless. This bill is beyond horrible.
He even defended money for the Kennedy Center. Really?
I’m done.
Jim should chance the name of this site to Sheep Republic.
IT’S JUST A FREAKIN FLU THAT HAS KILLED LESS THAN 3 PERCENT OF RUGULAR FLU DEATHS!
Is Paul Ryan still President?
Line item veto this turkey and dare the Supreme Court to do anything about it, this is an abuse of spending ability
The executive is in charge of allocated money. Get it together. Never had to be used, just like anything else
Stay home like in 08 and 12. Or you are going to defend McCain and Mittens?
Key words, it’s to DOS and for prevention and preparation for corona virus. That is what this bill is all about. If DOS needs to spend money to prepare or prevent covid19 at overseas facilities that is legitimate to me. It does not say it’s aid for refugees. Each of the departments getting money in this bill have the same restrictions.
I don’t like this whole situation but I wish folks would represent things for what they are, not just try to stir up the masses with fake news and incomplete information.
Insanity is $2 trillion in crap for a flu.
Ten Page MAX PER BILL so citizens can read it and understand it/them. (And maybe so citizens have a chance to comment on it/them.)
ML/NJ
And what's with you class of 1998ers. You always seem to be the negative ones here.
I’m not to sure about this. Be aware of twisted or fake news here.
I went digging. The article references something put into the bill of Mar 24, which is the Leftist Laundry List bill.
I’m absolutely unshocked that there might try to be a fake news story about this, but, at this time, I see no reason to believe the story.
Yes, but see 90
I just emailed the WH and asked him to 0ay attention to page 817 and if we have an extra 350 million it should go to Americans!!!
As expected.
Or have them sign in person to receive it...in Sao Paulo.
you’re just way out of line, man. WAAAAY our of line. running the country during a pandemic is a good bit more complicated than CAPS LOCKING CRAZY SNIT IN AN INNERWEBZ DISCUSSION FORUM.
