Migrants Given $5,000 Gift Cards After Crossing Border: Arizona Sheriff

Damn, must be true, a politician running for office would never lie

 

You must live underground.

 

From the same article in the OP:

There does not appear to be any U.S. government program that gives undocumented migrants $5,000 gift cards. A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Newsweek via phone on Thursday that no gift cards came from the agency.

Newsweek reached out for comment to the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement via email on Thursday.

According to right-wing newspaper The Epoch Times, Lamb heard about the supposed gift card exchange from "close sources" at the border, telling the outlet that he was "absolutely in shock when these agents came forward" with the news.
​

So while the story was reported in Newsweek, the claim is still from a "close source" first reported in the Epoch Times. And there isn't a single shred of hard evidence, to date, any program like this v exists.

 

Proof or link? Anything besides this one guy running for office who heard it from someone?

 

Actually, this does exist. It's part of the DeSantis Airlines "Bringing The Border To You" program. How else do you lure migrants onto a plane?

 

And you believe this because a politician said it?

 

I've got some magic beans if you're interested, just DM me your bank account # and password

 

The "I don't trust the govt/DOJ/FBI" crowd is also like "I blindly trust this guy" cause he says stuff I like.

 

P.S. I'm an undercover constitutional sheriff, posing as a radical commie so you can believe me

 

Last I checked cops were the government so ... must make a persons head hurt

 

No

 

The most worrisome part is the pure volume of statements this guy makes that don't conclude with "That's the truth." Without that clarifier, it is impossible to conclude that any statement without it is true. The vast majority of things he says don't have that assurance, so now I'm not even too sure about the "That's the truth" statements, TBH.

 

And think about it - he likes it because it says something really bad about our govt.

 

Show me a gift card with a balance of over $3,000 in the hands of an immigrant. Or how about an invoice or P.O.? $5,000 gift cards don't magically appear out of thin air. Someone or some group has to fund them. Show me proof that someone spent $1 million on 200 gift cards at $5k each at least once. And better yet, more than once, since 200 wouldn't cover a day's worth of entries.

Until then, no, I don't believe the Pinal County Sheriff relying on an unnamed source quoted in the Epoch Times.

 

Then I'd have my proof, wouldn't I? But I don't. Neither do you. And I'm not gullible enough to believe everything I hear because I want it to be true. Millions of dollars in the hands of newly arrived immigrants world leave some sort of trail. Or do these cards just magically appear and then dissappear with the migrants?
