GOP Allows Virus Relief Bill to Contain $350 Million for Migration and Refugee Assistance

• Trump Train News

According to Fox News:

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.
