Hotel Rooms vs. Parking Garage Floors

 Illegals in Hotel Rooms; National Guard on Floors of Parking Garages

A reporter questioned White House press secretary Jen Psaki on how the Biden administration can "square" signing a multi-million dollar deal to house migrants in hotel rooms while members of the National Guard were seen sleeping in parking lot garages.
“One of the options being reported over the weekend is spending $86 million on hotel rooms, for some migrants, and feeding them. How do you square that with that National Guard troops who were sleeping in parking garages and some of them got sick from having contaminated food,” the reporter, Newsmax’s Emerald Robinson, asked Monday.
“That’s a disparity a lot of people are pointing out. That our National Guard was treated one way and then illegal immigrants are going to be put in hotel rooms,” Robinson added.
Psaki responded that when the administration became aware of National Guard troops sleeping in parking garages earlier this year, President Biden “offered assistance, offered to play any role that he could play.”
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SPENDING $86M TO HOUSE MIGRANTS IN HOTELS
The question comes after the Washington Examiner confirmed on Sunday that a Texas nonprofit organization signed an $86 million deal with the Biden administration to house the influx of migrants at the border in hotel rooms.
The contract will reportedly last six months and provide shelter to 1,200 migrants.
Robinson’s question was met with praise from some social media commenters, who lauded her for a “great question,” while others mocked Psaki with memes of her saying, “I’ll circle back.”
