The Biden Administration to Send $87 Million Housing Illegal Immigrants?

[erpowers]

Has any reputable news organization reported that the Biden Administration will spend $87 million to house illegal immigrants in hotel rooms? Yesterday, someone I know told me it had been reported that the Biden Administration would spend $87 million to pay for hotel rooms for illegal immigrants. I did a google search on the issue, but I did not find anything from a reputable news source.

2. And your problem is? By "illegal" you really meant "undocumented", right? Humans aren't "illegal"...

... and housing the needy is what we're supposed to do.

6. Better

we should just let people seeking asylum with their children just die in the heat and drought awaiting legal rulings? I believe its called, COMPASSION! A Christian principle taught by Jesus. We are a rich country. I'll gladly give some of my taxes to help humanity.

7. What is this shit?

This headline is patently offensive

[dlk]

8. Not so subtly racist headline...

Especially when read in context of the recent eight racist murders in Georgia.

9. It Was Not Meant to Be Racist

I grew up hearing the phrase illegl immigrant. I meant no harm with the phrase. I will try to remember to use the phrase undocumented starting now.

10. I don't doubt you weren't intending to sound racist

It was the timing of the comment about government expenditures for immigrants’ housing so soon after the Georgia murders.

15. Then how about correcting that terrible headline????

[Nevilledog]

11. So they're spending about half of what Trump's golfing cost?

[marble falls]

14. Bingo.

[Hortensis]

12. Housing children and families, yes! THIS IS PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT IN ACTION.

Progressivism is using the power of government to do good things that individuals and private groups cannot.

Go, Dems!

13. You mean ASYLUM SEEKERS.

Maybe you should fix that.

Seeking Asylum is NOT ILLEGAL.
