Government is considering payments of $450,000 per person affected by Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy in 2018

WASHINGTON—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 a million per family, though the final numbers could shift

Dan Crenshaw slams Biden for considering payments to migrants, compares treatment to military: ‘Let that sink in’!

Rep. Dan Crenshaw slammed President Biden Thursday over a Wall Street Journal report that Biden is considering paying $450,000 to migrant families that were separated on the southern border during former President Trump’s administration, alluding that military families get worse government benefits than that.

“Biden wants to pay illegal immigrants $450,000 for their hardship while breaking our laws,”

Crenshaw, R-Texas, a Navy SEAL veteran, tweeted. “For perspective, if a service member is killed in action, their next of kin gets an insurance payment of $400,000. Let that sink in.”

Canadians may head South.

I’m a bit slow, and I haven’t been keeping up with the times. So will somebody please explain this to me. How can Biden legally give away all that money? I thought only Congress had the power to appropriate funds.

NO there is no one valuable in DC to be alive....good play for ‘some kind of trial’ to be conducted....

You know like the FDA said, we need to try the vax on the 5-11 year olds to see what it will do, or something like that? Well there should be something tried on the ‘worthless bums living in DC’ to see what happens...

You would think that even liberals would be pissed about this?

Couldn’t that money be better spent on seniors, homeless, the poor, anything would be better than giving it to freakin’ illegals!!

We get a $1200 “stimulus” check and they get roughly half a million per person!

What a great country. WHAT’S LEFT OF IT!

FJB!

Even low-I.Q. Democrat voters will be able to get pissed off about this. They’re living paycheck to paycheck (assuming they’re working) and know they’ll never make $1 million ever. Fair is fair.

“How can Biden legally give away all that money?”

It is because we have Republicans (the castrated kind, and neutered kind) in office, who are complicit in the status quo! And their status quo is to lose in any election, and take “payoffs” from the rats, to remain in power!!

“This is insane. Period. And I’ll bet a whole lot of Democrats think so, too.”

Sure enough, Biden voters are rolling over in their Graves.
