| San Diego to Receive Additional $39 Million for Illegal Immigrants |
| 2024-04-17 |
| [Breitbart] Migrant activists in San Diego, California, are celebrating the additional $39 million in federal funding for illegal border crossers, but others feel the money is being misspent. Almost $20 million of the funding is from the Department of Homeland Security. It is targeted to support migrants as they wait for the outcome of their immigration proceedings court cases after federal officials dropped them off in the county, KGTV reported on April 12. Rep. Juan Vargas (D-CA) celebrated the funding, saying, “This funding will help make sure they have the resources they need to continue their important work to provide migrant communities with food, shelter, and other critical services.” County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas also highlighted the funding and insisted that the cash would be used to create a more sustainable migrant transition center. The city’s last migrant welcome center closed down on February 22 when it ran out of money, leaving all newcomers to be disgorged from Border Patrol buses onto the streets, left to their own devices. But the buses operated by Biden’s Border Patrol kept coming. Just since December, Border Patrol has dropped 42,000 illegals in San Diego County, overwhelming the city and local non-governmental organizations. Not every county official was excited that Biden opened up the funding spigot. District Five Supervisor Jim Desmond blasted the plans, saying the money was being misspent. “I’d rather see that money have gone towards securing the border and making sure the border patrol stops people or we only allow enough people in that we can manage,” Desmond insisted. |

| #6 Remember when lefties wanted check boxes on the tax form so they could opt out of having their $$$ spent by the Pentagon? That could work both ways... |

| #5 I just mailed my first quarterly estimated tax payment to the United States Treasury. Yes, it pisses me off to see where the money is going. No doubt a significant portion of that $39 million will end up in the pockets of Juan Vargas and his friends. They don't work for free, you know. |
