U.S. in Talks to Pay Hundreds of Millions to Families Separated at Border [around $450,000 a person]
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 28, 2021 | Michelle Hackman et al.

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.

$145 a day (got that from an old figure years ago) per illegal on average. For every 1,000,000 illegals in prison, that alone is $145,000,000 per year day.

Trial balloon for something???

The trial balloon for the thus far elusive, 'reparations' that have been sought for many years now.

Just claim that one has experienced "trauma" by virtue of the fact that something bad may have happened to an ancestor 200 years prior, and you qualify for a payment from the taxpayers.

How are they going to differentiate those who have no American ancestry dating back to the mid 1800's (like barry hussein obama) to those who actually have ancestry which includes former slaves?

“Yeah. And they don’t even have to be vaccinated to get it.

Meanwhile, those of us with conscientious and medical objections to being vaccinated with this concoction are being threatened with losing our jobs with NO COMPENSATION WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!”


And don’t forget what else we have to put up with that these people don’t:

1. The IRS rifling through their banking transactions for no particular reason;

2. We get the FBI sicced on us if we dislike what the local school board is doing, and are brazen enough to say what’s on our mind (particularly, “You work for US, not the other way around; and

3. We get to pay taxes on our worldwide income, but these people don’t - they’re not US citizens nor are they permanent residents. They can put their (free, taxpayer-funded money into the stock market and make a ton, tax free - but we can’t.

FJB!!!

“Being “American” and a legal citizen increasingly means less and less in this country”


No, you’re wrong. It means, more and more, that you get punished in some way or other.

It is way past time for this SHIT to end, for good. Jefferson was right about the Tree of Liberty, and it is awfully thirsty after generations of the people in government abusing We The People.

If Youngkin or the RNC don’t have ads about this running all weekend long in Virginia (and in NJ, for that matter), they’re bigger fools. This is electoral GOLD for anyone running against a Dem, and there’s no doubt that McAwful is on record as backing massive illegal immigration - as if we owe the rest of the world something.

This is SO over-the-top contemptuous for the American public that I am almost at a loss for words. This is disgusting, like nothing they’ve ever done before (well, except for killing over 1/2 million people by denying effective treatments for COVID). There HAS to be pushback, and lots of it, because of this!

“What about the ones that were separated during the Obama/Biden administration? If they get the interest along with the 450K, that could be HUGE!”


What about my relatives separated by US immigration policy under the Coolidge Administration? They (well, their heirs) should be paid the inflation-adjusted $450,000, and it should be paid in the currency of the time, $20 gold pieces (and they can round down to the nearest double eagle, I’m not greedy).

Huh. Do I get $450M because the Army forced me to go to DC for a couple weeks, or winter weather duty while the house had a burst pipe? What about training, drill weekends, AT, border duty, and I’m not even active duty, who see their kids even less! How much do they all get?

Imagine U.S. citizens, a family of 4, breaking into Mexico.. Then being separated for while so Mexico could sort out what to do with the law-breakers. Then imagine Mexico deciding the U.S. citizens they fed, clothed and provided everything for were actually victims who were put under undo stress. Then imagine Mexico coming up with the idea to pay each and every one of them $450,000.00 for their trouble.

Why are the DemonicRATS behind Biden really doing this? We know it’s not compassion or justice. Is it to piss us off? To buy votes? I bet immigrants who came here legally or seething.

Instead of giving each “around $450K”, how about the equivalent...

Give each an original Hunter painting. They seem to be valued around $450K, and last I heard, were not selling that much... so there should be plenty to go around.

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.”
