to the migrant families who are staying at hotels that are being used as emergency shelters.

Feeding thousands of people for the cost of a left handed pitcher.

Yep. Efficient program with minimal administrative overhead. Looks like someone did some research before they wrote up this policy.

How many times have giving home to homeless worked? like never
maybe if we didn't have open borders and incentives they wouldn't crash the border
and we wouldn't have to feed and house them
Immigration hearing are now schedules out 6 years or so - how many will even show up?
