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.

Comer and Smith noted that Biden's FY 2022 discretionary budget request includes $861 million in financial assistance to address"root causes" of"irregular" migration -- which the request calls a first step toward that $4 billion.

Instead of the"root causes," like poverty, violence and climate, they call on Biden to reinstate Trump-era policies, like the Migrant Protection Protocols and the cooperative agreements."President Biden should reinstate President Trump's cooperative asylum agreements with Northern Triangle countries, utilize the Migrant Protection Protocols, end catch and release, and maximize his authority to expel illegal immigrants during the pandemic," Comer told Fox News.

The letter comes days after Biden claimed that"we've gotten control" of the crisis at the border and again blamed the Trump administration for the crisis. Meanwhile, thethat it was canceling all border wall construction projects paid for with military money.

Biden White House Is Preparing to Confront States on Anti-Trans BillsGettyThe Biden administration is preparing to directly confront the rash of anti-LGBT, and specifically anti-trans bills proliferating in state legislatures, according to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the country’s leading LGBTQ advocacy organization.Separately, the Department of Justice has told The Daily Beast it will “fully enforce our civil rights statutes to protect transgender individuals,” giving hope to campaigners that the DOJ is preparing to challenge in the courts the legality of bills that have been introduced—and some passed—in a number of states, outlawing transgender youth’s access to health care and sports.The White House’s move and DOJ declaration follow President Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress last week, in which he said that he hoped “Congress can get to my desk the Equality Act to protect LGBTQ Americans. To all transgender Americans watching at home, especially young people who are so brave, I want you to know your President has your back.”Biden’s words were warmly welcomed by campaigners as a stirring statement of support, although they also attracted criticism for not mentioning the multiple legislative attacks on trans youth, and what having their “back” meant in practical terms at such a critical moment.‘It’s Attack After Attack’: Trans Youth Speak Out on Health and Sports Bills Aimed at ThemAs Kai Shappley, a Texas trans fourth-grader, who eloquently testified in the state Senate, put it in a tweet: “I’m very thankful for this. But, what does having my back mean? Like, if the bills pass in Texas will you keep them from putting my mom in jail?” (Shappley was referring to SB 1646, one of many anti-trans bills being considered in Texas.) Chase Strangio, deputy director for transgender justice at the American Civil Liberties Union’s LGBT & HIV Project, said in another tweet: “I guess I appreciate the platitudes. But we need action. Things are desperate.”Nearly 120 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in the current legisla So why can’t they confront the issue of bad cops harassing and killing ppl ?
