Please note U.S. in Talks to Pay Hundreds of Millions to Families Separated at Border.
The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.
The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said
Apart from talks over damages, the administration has already begun a process of locating deported parents and reuniting them with their children in the U.S. The administration has reunited 52 families and is in the process of reuniting about 200 more. The families are being given a three-year grant of parole, a form of temporary humanitarian protection that allows them to live and work legally in the U.S. but doesn’t offer them a path to permanent legal status.
What the Hell?
Separating kids from their parents was absolutely wrong. But so was everything else including the illegal crossing.
The amount seems ridiculous and will no doubt encourage more illegal crossings.
This is yet another Biden “What the Hell?” moment and I am sure the public will not support the proposed amounts.
Might I suggest $25,000 and a green card?
$450,000 seems more appropriate for idiotic drone policy mistakes in which we kill the wrong persons and innocent kids.
Thanks for Tuning In!

Your child gets in trouble. When he is about to be punished he says “johnny down the street did not get in trouble for doing the same thing”. Your reply as a parent probably would be “ you don’t worry about Johnny’s actions you worry about your own”.
Trump’s policy clearly ignored Constitutional law. Oh well, when the Democrats follow Trump and begin confiscating private property and ignoring the power of the purse to take funds away from the immigration budget to push a green energy national emergency and we end up with our land taken for windmills and other green energy infrastructure under the guise of a national emergency, then I bet suddenly you really do become conscerned about the rule of law.
But please don’t use the rule of law and Trump in the same sentence and expect to be taken seriously unless you can show me these special national emergency powers in Article II. Sketchy clearly explains the methods Trump got funding for his fence.
So why isn’t there a border wall paid for by Mexico? Oh that’s right, Trump was getting it right, wasn’t he? Making deals with Pelosi and Schumer while getting ZERO funding for his wall…
Was that getting it right?
But only if we give him another chance, right?
Pointless.
Those people are both dead and overseas. They can’t vote, nor can they birth children to vote for them.
If you want the pandering, you need to have voting potential, so either be alive so that you can birth US citizens, or be dead in Chicago.
$450K per person seems reasonable to low. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving.

If they think things are bad now at the border, just wait. You will soon see millions of illegals throwing their kids across the border begging the US Govt to take their kids and not them.
No other place in the world can completely uneducated people, including career criminals, violate laws and get paid for doing so. Not only paid, get paid more money than 90% of Americans have in net worth. Have 10 kids and live in poverty – start heading over. You are now a U.S. millionaire. Go from dirt floors to a life of freedom. You have 4.5 million in the bank, no SSN, no worries and no need for a job.
I would imagine as well that money is tax free. So it is the equivalent of 30-40% more. Welcome to the new ruling class.
At some point the breaking point will be hit where US citizens just says Fu#$it. I would think if this passes it has to be close to that point.
I love how they blame it on “Trump” when it started under Obama – because of rules put in place that actually mandates this happen – it was continued under Trump and then under Biden also.
I am thinking about renouncing US citizenship, heading to Mexico with kids and then crossing illegally. I want my share of the American dream also.
