297,000 in 2020. now it s up to 693,000. and i think you know the year is not done yet. guatemalans 48,000 came in 2020. now we have 200,000. el salvador up to 84,000. it was 17,000. honduras, 41,000, now 182,000. colombia had 404. it has switched to 97,000 and 128,000 from venezuela. when donald trump was in office it was 2700. cubans it s off the charts. now 175,000. we had just 13,000. let me ask you, what changed? those scenes are allowing everybody in is the go sign to everybody who wants to come here not necessarily refugees hey, this is a great time to go to america and join the rest of my family or start a new life because there is no penalty i get some nikeys, i get a phone and bus trip to new york or d.c. or a nice place to stay from catholic charities and i m able to go to a different country with more opportunity. that s a great idea. that s when we used to go to the consulate.
sparing regular of americans deep in college debt, republicans screamed bloody murder! here is marjorie taylor green. for our government just to say, you know, okay, well your debt is completely forgiven, obviously, they have an agenda for that. they need votes in november. the timing is pure coincidence there as well. but it s completely unfair. okay. and then there is retiring ohio senator rob portman who said, one time debt forgiveness eliminates the burden on those carrying debt but unfair to everyone else who will have to pay for it . here s the thing. miss green and her husband who own a gym in georgia both got $182,000 handout from the federal government. and mr. portman whose family owns a restaurant in ohio, he too, too, got one time debt forgiveness through the ppp for $200,000. plenty more republicans like green and portman. but don t take my word for it. check out this new white house

(announcer) you can quit. for free help, call 1-800-quit-now right now, it could seem like the only people who matter are the loudest. those who want to tear things down and then fly away on their own personal spaceships when things get hard. but we ve got 182,000 people, and they re building big things, new things, things that will change the way we do things. and you might not know their names, but these people get up every day. working together. to move us all forward. i m greg, i m 68 years old. i do motivational speaking working together. in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that s my calling to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don t recall things as quickly as they used to or they don t remember things as vividly as they
