House Republicans are now calling into question President Biden’s new plan to attempt to convince Central American nations to crack down on illegal migrants by sending them cash.

Many Republicans are slamming the plan as an attempt by the Biden administration to buy its way out of the border crisis.

As Fox News reports:

EXCLUSIVE: Republicans on the House Oversight and Budget committees are questioning a reported plan by the Biden administration to send cash payments to Central America as part of a strategy to combat the root causes of the migrant crisis — accusing the Biden administration of trying to buy its way out of a crisis.

Reps. James Comer and Jason Smith, the ranking members on the House Oversight and Budget committees, wrote to Acting Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young expressing concern about a plan for a “conditional cash transfer program” to address the “root causes” in Central America leading to the border crisis.

“In the midst of a border crisis propelled by the Biden administration reversing successful deterrent policies, it is worrisome that the administration’s solution isn’t to reinstate those policies or replace them with workable solutions, but instead to funnel more money to pay countries to dissuade their citizens to break U.S. laws, particularly countries with corruption concerns,” the letter, obtained by Fox News, says.

Roberta Jacobson, the White House’s outgoing southern border coordinator, told Reuters about the proposal last month and said it would be targeted at Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — three Northern Triangle countries that are the source of much of the migration coming to the border.

  1. Increase taxes and cost of goods for U.S. citizens to pay off 3rd world countries and to support their castoffs who are here illegally. Sounds like a workable plan to me (if I were a mindless leftist democratic socialist).

  2. Congrats to Joe Biden for being the most stupid president to ever sit in the white House. Congrats to the democrats your stupidity has no bounds. American people better start fighting back to stop this democrat nazi regime .

    1. I don’t hate communism, though the concept does have its share of problems. One major problem is that the ideology that all people are ‘equal’, and that the government will be expanded to exert control of the economy, businesses, populations and cultural processes is a ruse to afford tyrants the means to gain omnipotent levels of authority. As we’re beginning to notice with Numb Nuts, he’s unilaterally deciding what portions of our Bill of Rights we’ll retain at his discretion. He’s also forging ‘equality’ among the masses by mandating speech codes and government hiring quotas (When he’s not arranging for our jobs to be sent offshore). Communism, Socialism, or any variation of those schemes are to tyrants as candy is to a child predator. The concepts induce gullible, vulnerable, ignorant populations to cede their civil rights, religious freedom, cultural processes, economic systems and sovereignty to a perceived form of beneficent government. If there’s one thing people have to learn, it’s that governments are NOT beneficent.

  3. That’s right don’t give a fxxx how I spend tax payor monies King Biden thinks again

    • An Executive Order issued January 28th repealing the pro-life Mexico City Policy that had been reestablished and expanded by the Administration of President Trump. On the same day, President Biden issued an Executive Order that began the process of overturning the Trump Administration’s “Protect Life Rule” on Title X. That rule ensured that Title X family planning money did not flow to abortion providers and that everyone receiving Title X funds would not refer for abortion. In March, HHS announced it will repeal the Protect Life Rule by the end of the year. President Biden signed the $1.9 Trillion Reconciliation Package which includes billions of dollars available for taxpayer-funded abortions. President Biden’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended protections established for women undergoing chemical abortions, such as seeing the abortionist in person. The in-person requirement is vital because it ensures that complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy, are ruled out in advance of a woman undergoing a chemical abortion. Mifepristone, the “abortion pill,” has no impact on an ectopic pregnancy which is a life-threatening medical condition. President Biden nominated California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who was confirmed by the Senate, to head HHS. Becerra’s support of abortion on demand for any reason and at any time during pregnancy, as well as his campaign against pregnancy help centers, is extensive and well documented. President Biden’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) reversed Trump-era fetal tissue requirements. In its internal research, NIH will again fund research using tissue from aborted babies. It will also no longer convene the Human Fetal Tissue Research Ethics Advisory Board, established under President Trump that was designed to review extramural research grant applications. Though he long supported the Hyde Amendment in the past, as a presidential candidate, President Biden flip-flopped in 2019. President Biden is now on record in support of eliminating the Hyde Amendment which prevents the use of federal funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. Named after its original sponsor, pro-life Congressman Henry Hyde, the original amendment was passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976. It was estimated that before the Hyde Amendment took effect, approximately 300,000 abortions were paid for by Medicaid programs each year.
    1. As you’re pointing out, once these regimes take power, they start killing people, oppressing populations, orchestrating foreign conflicts, installing their families into government positions, and mobilize their media and useful idiots to burnish the image of these tyrants, or defend them against criticism. Wait until Harris drops the 25th Amendment on this numb skull. The media will be burning their midnight bong to fabricate excuses for her incompetence.

  4. Yes, Joe, we all know that the governments in Central America would unerringly pass that money straight to the people who were considering leaving. Perfect plan. What could go wrong?
