LAWL. They can't do math either.

Of course the tweet got deleted later. And some of you believe these idiots to be real journalists without question.

Huh? Reuters Reporter Urges US Government to Give Each Caravan Member $1 Million — And Save the US $175 Million!


Got burned by their own Trump derangement.

What illegal aliens from the caravan? There are migrants, but I’ve yet to see or hear about them being across out borders yet illegally?

Who's accountable for that


The problem with socialism is that "Eventually, Socialists run out of other peoples' money [to spend]."

Trump's doing a pretty good job of spending other peoples' money himself.

If you give them each a million, the rest of the world (all 7.6 billion) will come knocking on the doors as well.

That Reuters writer is an idiot of the highest order.

Do you have a link to what the reporter actually said, rather than The Gateway Pundit’s oh-so-unbiased interpretation of what she said?

it's a screen cap of her own tweet.

now, if there's 4,000 in the caravan, we could give them all $55,000. Or, if we wanted to save $175MM, then it would only be $11,250 apiece. I'd imagine even the 2nd amount would equate to a year's wages in their home country.

Many Republicans and Democrats of either gender are, shockingly, morons.

If you go by the screenshot of the Tweet, all it does is point out how expensive the proposed border wall is by saying that they could give each migrant $1M. It doesn’t suggest that the US government should actually do it. This is the stupidest, most low-information thread ever.
