We all know that the first attempt to get the Coronavirus Stimulus Bill passed, was a failure. It was blocked by Team Pelosi. The democrats wanted to add a monstrous amount of money to be spent on their “Green Deal”. Naturally, this caused a lot of backlash…”we want to help the American worker, the people who lost their jobs and maybe their homes, because of the virus…. and you want to spend trillions to fix the weather????”

Finally the bill was accepted and signed, but not until Team Pelosi got some of their pet projects included.

This link shows an astonishing amount of other projects that were added to the bill.

One of them caught my attention….$350 million for “Migration and Refugee Assistance”

It’s not a huge amount, compared to the overall cost of this bill…. but it’s the principle that bothers me.

Our open borders opened the door for this virus to be imported into the US. Russia closed their borders almost immediately, and, as a result, they have a miniscule corona problem.

Have we already forgotten how many old, extinct diseases have come across our wide open borders during the last few years? Here, in Los Angeles, we have had Typhus cases, a disease most younger folks have never heard of before. Los Angeles is also very close to having a break-out of the Bubonic Plague.

Furthermore, some 50,000 US citizens are currently stuck overseas… they are unable to travel home…. and Team Pelosi wants to make sure our illegal aliens are welcomed and taken care of?

Furthermore, in many states, criminal and civil courts are closed to avoid spreading the coronavirus….yet, our immigration courts are open and doing business????

There is something wrong with their priorities
