US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has inked an $89.6 million contract with a Texas nonprofit to shelter Central American migrants in hotel rooms while the feds process a massive backlog of new arrivals at the border, according to the agency and reports. The immigrants admit they are coming in droves because Biden promised them free stuff.
Biden continues his America Last agenda
The eight-figure deal was announced Saturday, as migrants continued to arrive at the border at a rate not seen in 20 years, including unaccompanied children crammed into jail-like detention centers to await transfer to federal shelters across the country.
ICE “has signed a short-term contract with the non-profit division of Endeavors to provide temporary shelter and processing services for families who have not been expelled and are therefore placed in immigration proceedings for their removal from the United States,” said ICE Acting Director Tae D. Johnson in a statement. “The $86.9 million contract provides 1,239 beds and other necessary services.”
The families will be put up in hotels close to the border, including in Texas and Arizona, under the deal, which is set to run six months but could be extended, Axios reported, citing officials from the federal Department of Homeland Security.
Jon Allman, CEO of the San Antonio-based Endeavors, told Fox Business that the contract includes “critical services to migrant families, which is a continuation of services we have delivered to the migrant population since 2012.”
Added Johnson, “The families will receive a comprehensive health assessment that includes COVID-19 testing.”
On Wednesday, President Biden FALSELY asserted that immigrants were not coming to our southern border because of his policies.

Democrats raising your taxes so he can give it to illegal immigrants
President Biden has repeatedly pledged to raise taxes on any American earning more than $400,000, but promised — as recently as this week — that no one making less than that will see “one single penny in additional federal tax.”
But White House press secretary Jen Psaki clarified on Wednesday that Biden’s proposed $400,000 threshold for tax increases applies to families, rather than individuals, meaning the hike could hit individuals who earn $200,000 a year if they are married to someone who makes the same amount.
The Biden administration is considering $3 trillion in spending on improving infrastructure, fighting “climate change” and reducing economic inequities, whatever that means. These Lefties are determined to destroy the dollar with their inflationary spending. You better prepare now.
