The so-called bipartisan “infrastructure” bill, backed by Senate Democrats and 18 Senate Republicans, would reward blue states with federal money for driving up immigration levels to the United States.
The bill, among other things, includes the Digital Equity Act that would help expand broadband to American communities that currently lack access to the internet.
Slipped into the legislation are provisions allocating federal funding based on the number of newly arrived immigrants in a state or region — a design that rewards blue states who tend to have the largest foreign-born populations in the nation.
As the legislation states, the Department of Commerce would set up a grant program to states to fund broadband expansion. The formula used for those grants is as follows:
50 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the population of the eligible State in proportion to the total population of all eligible States.
25 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the number of individuals in the eligible State who are members of covered populations in proportion to the total number of individuals in all eligible States who are members of covered populations.
25 percent of the total grant amount shall be based on the comparative lack of availability and adoption of broadband in the eligible State in proportion to the lack of availability and adoption of broadband of all eligible States…

So a bunch of “Republicans” are voting for a bill that not only doesn’t have any border protection money, but the opposite increases the rate by which migrants will be imported.
Well, apparently we need to send Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy more reinforcements.

Can anyone tell me who the "Republicans" are? I don't want to inadvertently send one a campaign donation.

Republicans are the “Not Democrat” party. They stand for nothing and are headed to the dustbin of history.
Right after the fraud election, there was the momentum to start a MAGA party. The FRinos came out of the woodwork crying "Yer carn't stert a third perty er else the dermacrirts win. Derp!"
GOP - ensuring that dermacrirts win is their motto.
Do more immigrants end up in blue states?
Won’t this be good for Texas?
