So let’s see. We got billions for the Kennedy Center, NPR and other left wing pork barrel spending on things that have absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus. Turns out McConnell the turtle also allowed $350 million fr “migration and refugee assistance”. Again, having absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus. I’m sure there were plenty of Chamber of Commerce Republicans like McConnell, Willard the Romney, Lindsey Graham and others who were more than happy to spend even more of your tax dollars on illegal aliens.

The $2 trillion spending package to boost the economy in response to the coronavirus crisis includes a $350 million pot of money for “Migration and Refugee Assistance” — the latest item in the legislative behemoth that is angering critics.
While a number of items that Republicans objected to got trimmed in the final Senate bill, the Migrant and Refugee Assistance item actually increased by $50 million to $350 million. That’s more than the bill put forward by House Democrats earlier this week, which included $300 million in “Migrant and Refugee Assistance” for the State Department.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla, called it a “poison pill” that put “America LAST.”
