Biden Admin To Put 80,000 Migrants In
Hotels At $352 Per Bed Per Night

Original Article

The White House is spending close to $352 a night to provide beds to the estimated 80,000 migrant families expected to flood the border from now until September, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement document obtained by the Washington Examiner. The contract rents out hotels in Texas and Arizona for six and a half months — 199 days. In these hotels, 1,239 beds will be occupied by those participating in the border surge, which the government dubs “emergency family reception sites.” After three days of sleeping in the hotel, migrant families who entered the country illegally will then be freed into the United States with a court date to

When the administration's priorities are as expressed as clearly as this, it's no wonder the migrants keep coming.

I just checked Mr Google. In NYC, the average hotel room is $142 per night. In LA, the average hotel room is $131 per night. In SF, the average hotel room is $117 per night. In Vegas, it's $136 per night. Okay, the folks gotta eat. You can ear pretty darn well for $40 a day, even in those cities. $352 a night seems pretty excessive, although I guess that includes the cost of the diversity outreach and LGBTWXYZ office for the new bureaucracy handling this program. But knowing a number of hoteliers, they probably are expecting significant property damage from these guests and are insisting on compensation for such damage by these folks.

$352.00 per night per person or per room? Either way, that is a lot of money for a hotel room. Are they putting them up at luxury hotels with full amenities in the best part of town? How about the Motel 6 for $49.99 per night on the edge of town. Are the hotels being used owned by Illinois Governor Pritzker (Hyatt Hotels)?

I guess bathing suits and and workout attire are included as are the robe and slippers. Of course, the cost could be to completely eliminate the diseases left behind in the rooms these new Americans bring into the country. Eliminating bedbugs and illnesses which were at one point eliminated in this country are now back because of these new Americans.

Obviously this administration isn't the least bit conflicted about who deserves to come first on their watch. And it appears not to be concerned about the next election, which seems awfully curious. Hard to believe the majority of our citizens (those who are law abiding) approve of their president lavishing illegal aliens with hotel stays and airline flights to any destination they choose, while he and his Dem pals plot to raise taxes on ordinary Americans. This is in your face abusive to middle America.

When I was in the Army and on active duty tours, we had to submit receipts to our unit to be paid by the government regarding travel and lodging expenses. I would never, ever have stayed in a hotel this expensive and charged it to Uncle Sam. And I doubt many of my fellow soldiers at that time would have done so. And if I had done so, the unit administrator would have kicked my butt. And we were serving our country. These people are NOT serving our country. And they are being treated like royalty.

Posted by earlybird 4/16/2021 8:32:44 PM Post Reply
The White House Friday reversed course on refugee admissions, after an earlier announcement maintaining a controversial Trump-era refugee cap was met with disdain by Democrats and immigration activists. Following a day of blowback from Democrats, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced Biden would set a new, higher ceiling in May after initially saying it would keep the current 15,000 limit. The initial decision had led to widespread complaints from Democratic lawmakers and groups representing refugees, who had already been urging Biden to lift the ceiling put in place by former President Trump. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the United States as a refugee, called it "shameful."
Democrats Introduce Bill to Expand Supreme

A group of Democrats on Thursday unveiled their bill to expand the Supreme Court, but party leaders showed little support and Republicans assailed the proposal as radical. The “Judiciary Act of 2021” would add four seats to the nation’s top court, effectively flipping the balance from 6–3 in favor of conservative-appointed justices to 7–6 in the opposite direction. The rationale fueling the proposal is that Republicans confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last year. The GOP broke no rules or laws, but some Democrats were bitter that they did not hold the seat open for whoever won the 2020 election.

People who have received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine are “likely” to need a third dose sometime within a year after being fully vaccinated. “A likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a third dose, somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual revaccination,” CEO Albert Bourla said during an online event on April 15. “But all of that needs to be confirmed. And again, the variants will play a key role,” he said. “We need to see what would be the sequence, and for how often we need to do that, that remains to be seen.”

CBS News deceptively cropped body camera footage that showed a 13-year-old boy holding a gun before he was fatally shot by Chicago police in March. A law enforcement officer fatally shot Adam Toledo during an encounter in response to gunshots heard on a police scanner. Police said Toledo ignored “verbal directions, fled, used significant force, and was armed with a semiautomatic pistol,” which is why the officer fired. Body cam footage released this week appears to show Toledo holding a weapon moments before he was shot, but CBS News posted a clip to its website and Twitter page that cropped out the footage showing the teen’s alleged firearm.

The Biden administration will keep the target of refugee admissions for this year at the historically low level set by the Trump administration, walking back an earlier pledge to welcome more than 60,000 refugees into the United States. President Biden in February committed to welcoming those fleeing persecution around the world, and to raising the cap of 15,000 refugees set by the prior administration. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken notified Congress on Feb. 12 that the administration planned to allow up to 62,500 refugees to enter the country in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

How did the nation go in an instant from disbelieving every utterance of Donald Trump to robotically repeating — and acting on — every claim that falls out of Joe Biden’s mouth, no matter how disconnected from the truth? The most glaring example involves Biden’s fact-challenged tirade against Georgia’s new voting law. At his first and only press conference, Biden declared the state’s efforts to protect against voter fraud were worse than Jim Crow, “un-American,” “sick,” and “despicable.” (This was the same press conference where moments later Biden bragged about how much time he’s spent with China’s genocidal communist dictator before calling him “a smart, smart guy.”)

She said the shooting was unnecessary after Chicago cops released bodycam footage showing the boy had a gun and dropped it just before the officer opened fire.

With all this push for Hollywood “diversity” one often wonders if Hollywood has a vendetta against traditional standards of movie making. According to one insider, that’s exactly the case for at least one major studio. Sci-fi author Nick Cole, co-author of the Galaxy’s Edge series, claimed that during a pitch meeting, a major Hollywood studio passed on a recent project he had been working on, citing the fact that they’re done producing content for “White, Christian, Trash.” Oh wow, that’s a hell of a way to say it. Perhaps this is the sentiment underlying Hollywood’s spate of inclusivity-over-everything pledges they’ve made in the past few years.

Anybody who’s taking Dr. Anthony Fauci seriously probably needs to stop doing so. He endlessly moves the goalposts to maintain his unlimited power over the American people, something Democrats support. That’s why, on Thursday, during House testimony, Rep. Maxine Watters (who is a low-rent harridan) tried to shut down Rep. Jim Jordan’s efforts to get Fauci to say when enough Americans will be vaccinated so that COVID restrictions can end. The past year has shown that Fauci either has no idea what he’s talking about or is trying to advance an agenda that invariably has to do with maintaining the 2020 status quo of lockdowns, isolation, and masks.
