UC-Berkeley student gov unanimously approves resolution to fund migrant caravan

The University of California Berkeley student government has resolved to financially support the Honduran migrant caravan after a four-hour meeting Wednesday evening, during which senators were told that voting against the funding would be “violent.”

The resolution passed Wednesday night was presented by the Associated Students of the University of California. Among other initiatives, the bill titled In Support of Central American Refugees in their Pursuit of Asylum proposed that the student government allocate $1500 to be donated to a non-profit organization with the intent of helping to fund the caravan.

The bill specifically referenced the Honduran migrant caravan, acknowledging that “while some have gradually arrived to the US-Mexico border, thousands are still en route and should arrive in the next week or two,” and calling on the student government to “be in solidarity” with these individuals.

The document details the plight of Honduran citizens and blames the state of Honduras on the United States. “The United States, fueled by corporate greed, has strategically intervened in Central American politics and warfare; thus strengthening the U.S. economy and further disregarding the livelihood of the citizens in these countries.”

This money is coming out of the pockets of the so called students, right?

I suggest each student bring in a “refugee” into their dorm or apartment and provide them them.

In addition, each faculty member should bring a “family” into their home, feed them, love them, provide them with Health Care….you know, show how much you care about the “refugees”…OK?…..

These “do good” fake Liberals always want to use YOUR MONEY for their Social Preening and feel-good garbage altruism..at YOUR expense.

They make me sick.
