As the border crisis gets bigger and bigger, the Biden administration is running out of ideas.
Latest weather balloon to be floated around is the possibility of U.S. taxpayer checks to pay would-be illegals in Central America to stay home.
According to a report from Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is considering a conditional cash transfer program to help address economic woes that lead migrants from certain Central American countries to trek north, as well as sending COVID-19 vaccines to those countries, a senior White House official told Reuters on Friday.
The potential program would be targeted at people in the Northern Triangle region of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, Roberta Jacobson, the White House’s southern border coordinator, told Reuters in an interview, without saying who exactly would receive cash.
Kind of a stimulus check incentive plan for foreign nationals to not break into our country illegally, but instead live in their homelands for awhile, maybe as long as the cash lasts? It's a typical liberal idea of throwing cash at a problem instead of solving it.
After all, it would be just as easy to enforce U.S. immigration law, and who knows, make a treaty with the nations whose nationals are so eager to leave as well as the transit country Mexico. Heck, they might even continue building the border wall, which helps stop human-wave surges, and the cartel profits that flow from them, as well as helps the Border Patrol identify and devote attention to real criminals who try to breach it.
They might even encourage people to use the existing legal process for immigration, but well, that's never occurred to the Bidenites, that's not how the Biden administration "thinks." Too Trumpy, as it happens. Better to throw cash at the newly created problem instead of reverse course.

Well, if I was a Central American with no intention of leaving home, I sure would CLAIM to want to leave to get that cash.
Who wouldn’t?
Which means we will be paying every single SA resident money.
Because they will all claim to be heading to the US unless they get the money.
Joe really is smart.
My definition of “fool”.
One who knows everything but knows not what to do with what he knows.
The cartels will just knock on their doors and demand they hand over the gringo bucks.
Just another Democrat transmission belt for taxpayer dollars.
Bingo!
Didn’t get the feeling that Xiden might have been robbed multiple times in his youth just because he was so humorous during the robbery.
kinda like the left coast states proposal to pay criminals to quit stealing?
Paying the Danegeld.
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling
Dane-Geld
A.D. 980-1016
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”
A fool and his taxpayer-supplied money are soon parted.
If you had not posted this I was ready to do it myself! No place has prospered by bribing the barbarians or seekers. Ancient Rome nor ancient China yet bumbling Joe thinks it will be different THIS TIME!
You get a check! You get a check and you get a check!
NY paying those illegals here 15000 each because they couldn’t collect unemployment during COVID, now this. When do we wake up and oust these a scumbags
Money laundering for the cartels.
Shorter: “I will send you all checks fresh off the printing press to pay for your trip to America.”
IF they start sending checks to south americans so they don’t invade... i’m not sending a dime in taxes
seriously, what the flying f*ck
Like paying Johns not to buy hookers.
The IRS will be mailing checks to numerous US locations for these illegals who stayed in S. America.
Idiocy!
Trump had it right, he had slowed the flow to a trickle.
That’s why both parties colluded to cheat him out.
They have spent 30 years flooding the country with foreigners and were not about to let us keep our country.
