For some reason the coronavirus stimulus bill, which was supposed to help American workers affected by the health pandemic, includes hundreds of millions of dollars for illegal immigrants.
Why does the stimulus bill include money for illegal immigrants?
The $2 trillion coronavirus crisis bill that passed the Senate includes a $350 million dollar injection of cash for “Migration and Refugee Assistance,” despite the fact that open borders contributed to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first place.
According to the bill, the money will be used to “prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.”
Quite how facilitating further migration, something that worsened the spread of coronavirus, will help “prevent” coronavirus is anyone’s guess.
The original House bill asked for $300 million, but apparently Republicans were happy for another $50 million to be added.
Rep. Matt Gaetz called the measure a “poison pill” that put “America LAST.”
