Welcome to the drama called “Billing code 4710-10-P.”
Once upon a time, there were a few hundred thousand Palestinian refugees that no Arab country wanted. Along came Prince Obama, riding on the backs of the American Taxpayer, and he said: we’d love to have ’em here in the US of A! What’s more, my trusty steed will pick up the tab to bring ’em here and keep ’em safe till they grow old enough to protest against the evils of capitalism and the American way of life.
It doesn’t sound quite so good in The Federal Register, but you’ll get the point:
