Actually Clem has difficulty sleeping in hotel rooms, so he spends his time re-arranging the furniture, trying to tucker himself out so he can sleep...

| Taxpayers to Spend $392.69 per Person per Night on Hotels for Illegal Border-Crossers |
| 2021-03-25 |
| [Center for Immigration studies] On March 20, Axios reported that the Biden administration has entered into a six-month contract worth $86 million to house 1,200 migrant family members near the Southwest border in Texas and Arizona. That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history. Keep in mind, as the outlet notes, that $86 million is just the beginning, as the contract ("through Endeavors, a Texas-based nonprofit" — I would hate to see the tab if they were in it for the money) "could be extended and expanded". Why does the Biden administration need $86 million in hotel space? ICE, which detains adults and adults traveling with children (family units or FMUs), is already using its family residential centers (FRCs) as "rapid-processing centers with the goal of releasing families within 72 hours". But apparently even with that short turn-around time, the agency is running out of space. Here is an important point to keep in mind: Such speedy releases of FMUs — with little more than some fingerprinting and a future court date — into the interior of the United States is far and away "the major ’pull factor'" that will encourage even more adult migrants to risk their lives and their accompanying children’s on the trek to the United States in the future. |

| #20 Thank Dios they're not -white- Hispanics. Otherwise, they'd be excluded from the city of Oakland's poverty program like Oakkand's low-income white families |

| #19 Most I paid was $200 or so for a condo unit right on the beach in Seaside Or. At the time it was *well* worth it. Pretty sure the Hotel isn't seeing that $392. Probably much less after the local pols and other riff-raff take their cut. |

| #16 Given the experiences hotels have had with vagrants imposed on them by local governments in recent years, it would not surprise me if a significant portion of the $392.69/day is a security deposit for the cost to gut those rooms back to the studs — and the hotel’s public spaces as well — and rebuild and refurnish them afterward because they’ll be uncleanable. Narco gangsters are not known for their bourgeois habits... Clem, I suspect your hotels had no complaints about you as a guest. |

| #15 That is so insanely fucked up. When I went TDY, I had to find the cheapest rate or some government rate (used to be called "Lodging for Success" or some shit). I never spent that much on a room in DC per night. EVER. |

| #14 Fer crissake, I won't spend that much on a hotel for myself. |

| #13 That's a load of crap, Blackbeard. Read my whole rant: These people are vagrants, they use illegal narcotics, they urinate and defecate in public and they litter. These are all violations of various laws for which these people could and should be arrested. No way in hell should taxpayers be on the hook for expensive hotels and condos. I don't care if you're poor or crazy but when you shit on my front lawn you should go to jail for it. When you smoke fentanyl in a public park you need to be restrained. Because how compassionate is it to let them OD and die? Did you read the part where I said they should be treated for mental illness and substance abuse? They won't submit to it voluntarily so when they break the law they can be incarcerated and then they can receive treatment whether they want it or not. |

| #12 They should be simply immediately deported 2 years minimum in a desert labor camp where they won't be able to send money back to home country. |

| #11 First of all Illegal Aliens should *never* be considered in any manner 'immigrants'. That is a lie the media and advocates have been tellin for decades. They are Illegal Aliens and the term 'immigrant' shouldn't even be mentioned in the conversation. They should be simply immediately deported - no asylum, no immigration court or consideration. If they want asylum they should go to a port of entry. And if they crossed the border illegally they should be subject to a permanent ban on immigration. |

| #10 ^ You heard it here. Internment camps. Laws against poverty and mental illness. Bottom line. You no work? You no eat until you WORK. |

| #9 Ulise, the bums in Echo Park have been offered help and they have refused it. They prefer to live in the park where they can come and go as they please and there are no restrictions on their drug and alcohol abuse. The only answer that makes any sense at all is to incarcerate them and force them into mental health treatments and substance abuse treatment. There are laws on the books that would allow the authorities to do so if their goal was not the destruction of middle class suburban neighborhoods like Echo Park. These people are vagrants, they use illegal narcotics, they urinate and defecate in public and they litter. These are all violations of various laws for which these people could and should be arrested. No way in hell should taxpayers be on the hook for expensive hotels and condos. Politicians and liberal activists can talk all they want about affordable housing but it's a lie and it always has been. It is NOT affordable and it destroys middle class neighborhoods. But then, that is the goal. The bums could be incarcerated fairly cheaply in barracks or tent cities in the boondocks where normal, civilized people would not be subject to their intrusions and their filth. Then, if they do not respond to mental health and substance abuse treatment, they could be incarcerated again for longer periods of time. Homeless encampments in places like Echo Park would never be tolerated by any responsible government. As for the illegal aliens, they should never be allowed to cross the border. But if they do, they should be immediately deported. We do not owe these people anything. But Democrats want to replace us with poor, ignorant Third World peasants because they'll work for cheap, vote Democrat and serve in our military without questioning the Biden/Harris moves against civilians in this country. |

| #8 Remember day labor shops? Homeless used to be able to be at a day labor shop at 7am and get a days work and be paid at the end of the day. It was a start at getting off the street. Then the dims started rampant illegal immigration and the homeless have not chance at jobs today taken by illegals. |

| #6 ^^^ That is a sorry sight, LA Echo Park, even sorrier is spending 1/2 a million on a park, when this same money could house these souls for a month and maybe start to get them back on their feet. I remember a time that Americans gave other Americans in this park living situation a chance to change their circumstances if they wanted it. Now, well, give the help to the invaders, not your own people. Regrettably, story not covered by US media, but by foreigners. Thanks for posting this Spanky. |

| #4 /\ The dems do NOT want the weak, drug addled, non-voting homeless. The new Hitlerjugend must be built with young minds which can molded into the desired socialist, globalist model. |

| #3 If the Dems can find $ for the "permanent migrants" then they should find the same for every homeless person in the U.S.A. |
