[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't in DC, but this is what NY is doing.  The hotels get paid more for asylum seekers, so they can displace other homeless individuals, such as veterans.

This is another weird RW talking point.  The right loves to say "but what about homeless vets" yet I have yet to see a single GOP sponsored bill that would take care of homeless vets.[/quote]

Let's just throw the vets on the street, right?
These non-citizen migrants who entered illegally are more entitled, right?  
Don't you love your tax dollars going toward housing people who entered illegally and have given nothing to this country?[/quote]

Unless you can point to a Republican-sponsored bill to help homeless vets, this is just whataboutism and concern trolling.  And before you ask "why does it have to be Republican-sponsored" - it's because whenever Dems try to do anything they get shut down by Republicans for trying to "give free sh*t to moochers" - that's why.[/quote]

Except that in THIS particular case, the Biden admin is paying more to these hotels to house migrants than it is to house homeless vets.  So, effectively, the migrants are displacing the homeless vets.

How do you blame that on the Republicans?  [/quote]

Where's the funding coming from?  CBP?  Maybe ask why VA doesn't have funding.[/quote]
