In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are still waiting on guaranteed coronavirus relief, including stimulus checks, from the federal government.
However, rather of working to rapidly get aid to the American people, Joe Biden is instead dishing out $4 billion to Central American nations for development.
Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador stated Saturday that Biden informed him the U.S. would send $ 4 billion to assist advancement in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, all nations whose struggles have actually triggered mass migration through Mexico.
López Obrador, who talked to Biden over the phone on Friday, stated the two discussed immigration and the need to address the origin of why people migrate.
Biden’s immigration policy is starkly various than that of Donald Trump. On the first day, Biden signed an executive order to stop building and construction of the border wall, which will eventually motivate migrants to cross the border.
Even with the new generous present from Biden intended to enhance living conditions in these nations, migrants will likely make their way to America merely because they now can.
On the homefront, lots of Americans have actually not yet received their $600 stimulus checks that were approved as part of the $900 billion relief bundle passed in December, Fox News reports.
Biden has actually been pressing a 3rd relief package that would consist of $1,400 checks for individuals with a grand overall of $1.9 trillion, which raised issues amongst House officials.
The package consists of $20 billion to speed up vaccine circulation, a $15- an-hour minimum wage boost, an extension of extra welfare through the end of September, a one-time $1,400 stimulus check, a short-lived expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Kid Tax Credit and $350 billion in new financing for state and city governments, according to Fox News.
