Millions of Americans are paying taxes this week. What worsens the pain is to see President Joe Biden spending our tax money on hotel stays, debit cards and cellphones for migrants illegally crossing the southern border.
Biden is rolling out the welcome mat.
Illegal border crossers will no longer be treated like criminals but more like customers. The president’s fiscal budget, presented March 28, cuts funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement by 8% despite an expected surge in migrants and reduces detention beds. Meanwhile, Biden’s increasing funding for a speedier service for migrants entering the country illegally, with more flights and ground transportation. Kind of like a travel agency.
As of late May, Customs and Border Protection officials will not be able to send back migrants using Title 42, a legal tool devised to limit immigration during COVID-19. Illegal immigration is predicted to surge to 18,000 people a day. Biden isn’t planning to deter it, only to accommodate it.
There will be no punishment for sneaking into the country, or what the White House prefers to call “irregular” immigration.
Migrants won’t be detained in crowded facilities, sleeping under metallic sheets. These facilities are being phased out.
After crossing and being apprehended, migrants are fingerprinted and handed an Order of Release and Recognizance, granting them a legal right to travel in the U.S., so long as they report to an ICE officer when they reach their destination.
Then they’re welcomed by Catholic Charities or other nonprofits, who help with travel instructions. Some are taken directly to bus stations or airports. But many others are checked into hotels for one or two days of R&R before continuing to the destination of their choice. Call it the Catch and Concierge experience.
Over the last year, the Biden administration has contracted hotel space in Scottsdale, Arizona, El Paso, Texas, and other sites to house migrants while they’re provided COVID screening, medical care, hot meals and a chance to shower and rest. What’s next? Mints on the pillow?
Hotels were used in the past to house migrants but only because detention facilities were full, not because they were replacing them.
California’s health department is also renting hotels in San Diego, including a Four Points Sheraton and a Ramada Inn, where Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego and Jewish Family Service of San Diego provide services to migrants.
Don’t think because these charities are helping that taxpayers are off the hook. The federal government is Catholic Charities’ largest source of funds, and Jewish Family Service gets its money largely from Catholic Charities. Illegal immigration is funded in a tangled maze that invariably leads back to U.S. taxpayers.
That’s who’s paying for the smartphones and tablets for migrants — the latest perk. White House press secretary Jen Psaki claims the devices will make it easier to track migrants. Border officials, according to the Los Angeles Times, insist the smartphones are for safer travel, not tracking. Migrants can simply throw the device away.
Previous administrations used ankle bracelets, but immigration advocates complained they were uncomfortable and humiliating, so the Biden administration discontinued them.
Even before migrants cross the border, the International Organization for Migration, a part of the United Nations, distributes plastic debit cards worth about $400 to help tide over migrants waiting to enter. Where does IOM get its money? Partly from America, of course. Twelve House Republicans introduced the “No Tax Dollars for the Immigration Invasion Act” to bar funding these cash giveaways.
With Biden welcoming migrants crossing illegally and helping them settle wherever in the U.S. they choose, every state becomes a border state. Taxpayers in all 50 states are clobbered with the cost of providing housing, emergency medical care and public schooling. Dems in New York, who have no mercy on taxpayers, are even extending Medicaid to migrants 65 and over illegally in the U.S.
Americans are generous people, but they have to provide for their own kids and neighbors first. Without warning, Biden is flying migrants into communities under the cover of night and expecting them to be cared for. It’s nothing short of an ambush.

The time for just talk on this subject is well past. We just keep going around and around on the same points over and over again. The American people either choose to secure the southern border, because the federal government under Democrat control has no intention of ever doing so, or we lose the country altogether. We are the ONLY country that allows virtually unfettered illegal migration, on a massive scale, to occur. Virtually every other country either immediately deports you, jails and then deports you or simply eliminates you. We hand out a welcome basket, bus and plane tickets to anywhere you want to go in the country, life-long welfare, housing, healthcare and education benefits.
I hate this moth*r fu*ker, Phaq Joe Biden and his regime of little Marxist Piggy’s
He needs to go!!’
I noticed two Ukrainian women, evidently the wrong color, turned away at the border.
Treason! Everything this fraudulent and corrupt so-called administration does is intentionally destructive. 2022 election landslide needs to be followed by impeachments and criminal prosecution.
Impeach then prosecute him and his puppeteers for treason.
When I tried to share this on FB, it won’t let anyone see it unless they download the app. If you really want people to check you out, let them see articles like this first. Then I’m sure many would go on to download the app or join AMAC!
Biden has to be stopped and stopped now.
If the irs can siege our money and assets for the government gain then we the people who want to uphold the constitution should be able to siege assets of all the billionaires who want to do away with the constitution and our freedom. Put all of them in hard labor camps to build the walls needed to keep the US a safe place to live. I like everyone who is in our military and government took an oath to protect our constitution from foreign and domestic government.
And what exactly can we ordinary people do? We vote. We pray. What else can we do?
This Potato head is spending are hard earned money on these illegal aliens. It is discusting.
It is absolutely amazing that our fearless leader can operate the largest criminal enterprise on the planet, while simultaneously being unable to put together a coherent sentence without a teleprompter. He is using the IRS to harvest our hard earned dollars, paying approximately ten thousand invading criminals a day to cross the border and begin to plunder our country, sending billions of dollars to Iran to build nuclear weapons and missiles with which they can send them here, buy millions of barrels of oil from Russia while signing executive orders that make it more difficult and more expensive for U.S. oil companies, campaigning to minimize the incarceration of violent criminals in our country, campaigning to indoctrinate our children with racism and sexual perversion… I’d go on but it pains me to think about all the stuff big Joe and his crew are doing.
I wonder how long before a few more American patriots organize another “tea party” to express our views on the policies of this current bobble-headed administration. We’ve complained until we’re blue in the face. What ACTIONS must we take to put an end to this incomprehensible madness?
A REAL U.S. President would NOT be committing ESPIONAGE and TREASON at same time by letting in ILLEGAL ALIENS with TERRORIST into the United States.
DICTATOR Beijing biden is doing exactly what HUSSEIN Obama did for 8 years but WORSE.
ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS MUST BE SHIPPED STRAIGHT TO Washington D.C..
send them all to the White House and Delaware. try NYC as well and Hollywood
I know….having to pay taxes on trillions that we don’t have, paying the drug companies, this regime leaving all our equipment in Afghanistan and still paying for illegals PLUS higher food, gas, utilities is just about the limit for any hard working Americans!! Vote every darn Dumbocrat out!!!
As a former Director of Human Resources, I worked with organizations who assisted actual Refugees: One who flees, especially to another country, seeking refuge from war, political oppression, religious persecution, or a natural disaster.
Now theses organizations are assisting all illegals with no sense of right or wrong. And also handing the border over to the Cartels who manage human trafficking and illegal drugs coming across the Mexico border into the United States.
These organizations are the IRC, Catholic Social Services, Lutheran Social Services, etc. They are not helping the citizens who live legally in the United States of America and those who need actual help from government programs. They are repurposing these programs from citizens to people breaking the law. They are AFFECTING OUR Security, Economy and health systems. ($400 x 600,000 = $240,000,000.00) And hundreds of thousand more!
This is just wrong in so many levels!
DC better be 110% welcoming and accommodating as many illegals as show up. Set the example you think the rest of America should. Demonstrate with open arms and give them everything free they could ever dream of. Make life miserable for everyone who lives there including all of Congress, the SC, the ABC agency’s and everyone who works there. Feckless dolts.
If the federal government won’t stop illegal immigration, then Governor Greg Abbot should call out for volunteers from our citizens to guard our borders!
Not only would this slow or probably stop illegal crossing of our borders, it would surely get the federal governments and commie Joe’s attention in a hurry!
Looks like the dems are stacking the deck for our next election.
These people are mostly young men, all military age. I suggest we immediately put them in the army. Then they will be working and not a tax burden.
Our Founding Father’s way back in 1776, addressed this exact action as HIGH TREASON.
Indeed , I see it IS a Democrat PRIORITY to encourage the VICTIMS of ILLEGAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING to take and post THEIR PICTURES
upon arrival on US SOIL ! WHAT A NOVEL IDEA, LET’S GO BRANDON!!!!
The leftist communist administration and the elites stole our country from all true American loving citizens, the latino community overwhelmingly supported president TRUMP in our last stolen election, now with our hard earned TAX DOLLARS the corrupt leftist government will feed, clothe , provide travel, healthcare, phones, and weekly allowances for any and everything else they want or need, they have it all figured out. And this Marxist regime couldn’t care less about the constitution or our American citizens. The ends justify the means at any and all costs ( mainly the cost of our freedoms and liberties as proud Americans)
Think about this for a couple of minutes: “President Joe Biden, who is controlled by the swamp, is spending our tax money on hotel stays, debit cards, cellphones and cellphone air time for migrants illegally crossing American borders.”Now think about this: How many homeless Americans and American Veterans, who are down on their luck and may be on the streets as well. They have no roof over their heads, without a bed to sleep on, a credit card to buy basic necessities and food; or a cellphone to help them reconnect with family or friends to find new purpose!Our own government has declared war on us, Americans! This is not about race, religon, gender or equality. Think about what the Swamp is doing everyday to sink America and remove it as a nation and a world power. These people are hoping to build a new traitorous dictatorship on American soil. If you voted for NMP Biden or any government represenative who is supporting this DNC and one world narrative. I hope you have seen it for what it is and remember who supported them come November!
ITS AN INVASION, HOW DO YOU DEFEND YOURSELF FROM AN ATTACK, ATTACK BACK
This administration and dumbacrats make me sick. Their game plan is to wreck this country as fast as possible.
I am a Catholic and I am ashamed of “Catholic Charities……..so much as I can control it none of my money will go to Catholic Charities……..realizing this group helps other countries I cannot condone their supporting people entering this great land illegally……for shame Catholic Charities
Impeach Biden for failing to follow his constitutional oath of office and protect our nation from the invasion. Where is aunt Nancy for a genuine impeachment when we need her? Isn’t it “funny” (tragic) how the narrative changes when it does or doesn’t fit their narrative? Hypocrites!
Woe to you, hypocrites!! Does this money that provides for the illegal immigrants also come out of Mr Biden’s, Mrs Pelosi, Mr McConnell, Mr Schumer et al congress and senators salary? Or are they exempt? Are they taxpayers too? Or are they exempt from that too?
