White House press secretary Jen Psaki struggled to explain why President Joe Biden’s administration was considering putting up migrants in hotel rooms.
Psaki did not dispute reports that the Biden administration awarded a Texas-based nonprofit $86 million to provide hotel rooms for six months for approximately 1,200 families who cross the southern border.
AD Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson questioned Psaki on why the Biden administration would provide hotel rooms, food, and shelter for migrants even as American national guard troops were forced to sleep on the floor when they protected Capitol Hill.
“That’s a disparity a lot of people are pointing out, that our National Guard was treated one way and then illegal immigrants are going to be put in hotel rooms,” Robinson said referring to comparisons spreading on social media.
National Guard troops slept on the floor of the Capitol building for several weeks after Biden’s inauguration, although some of them had hotel rooms.
Psaki defended Biden’s actions, noting the president personally called the head of the National Guard in response to the news that troops were sleeping on the floor of parking garages in January.
“I know that was some time ago, but that was the reaction he took the time,” she said before moving on to other questions.

Unless my math skills have seriously deteriorated that works out to just under $12,000 per “family” per month.
It doesn’t matter when the vote count is rigged.
If she would be honest, she would say it’s because democrats need to import voters, and the democrats don’t count military votes,.
Welcome to North Korea.
Actually North Korea doesn’t let in any migrants.
I thought it was because the National Guard are white supremacists? But I guess she can’t say that... :)
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong here.
$86,000,000/1200 families = $71,667 per family.
$71,667/182.5 (days in a half year) = $392.64 per day.
I could be wrong, but I think most American families are currently surviving on a bit less than $143,000 per year. Why aren’t Republicans screaming this from the rooftops?
“Why aren’t Republicans screaming this from the rooftops?”
Because the mouths of the Chamber of Commerce types are watering at the prospect of all the cheap labor that will be brought into the country.
For those who missed today’s press briefing, I jotted down Psaki’s answers when I stumbled upon the CBSN coverage.
It’s a hard job trying to explain what Joe’s thinking, when Joe himself doesn’t know. She isn’t using the “circle back to that” phrase to defer questions any more because of the multitude of mocking comments about it. Now she has a range of synonyms for it, besides her standard vague abstractions. I won’t bother with the questions; her methodology is to re-state the question, then not answer it.
What happened at the meeting?
We covered a range of issues.
Our team is looking into that.
I don’t have the details for you.
That’s a great question.
I don’t have anything to preview you on that front.
It’s a great question.
I don’t have anything to preview you.
I don’t have a timeline for you.
No Preview again.
I don’t have a timeline.
I don’t have an exact number for you.
How come the government is putting illegal immigrants into hotel rooms while the National Guard was forced to sleep in parking garages in DC?
Well, we took care of those guardsmen, that was a long time ago.
I’d have to look into the details.
I will check and see.
I don’t have any update on our policy.
We are still at war with the virus.
I can hope to have an update for you soon.
At least National Guard have *somewhere* to sleep (their own homes back in their home states). Why is this money being spent on illegal aliens when we have so many homeless veterans out there?
“Jen Psaki Struggles to Explain”
Some of those non-profits pay their senior managers salaries in the $500,000 per year range and have lots of staff. They get rich while being admired for running a "non-profit." At least, that is how it works in California and I'm sure the non-profit ethics aren't much different in Texas.
The unions are laundering the money.
Because the Rats are scumbags!
More proof that the illegals are competing with those that end up homeless for living accommodations.
In large part the illegals are the reason the tents are popping up
No, a big chunk of that money is to compensate for damages.
You know: building campfires on the living room carpet, knocking holes in the wall, cockroach-infestations, etc.

If we treated POWs this way, we would be accused of war crimes. This is rapidly turning into Andersonville on the Potomac.
