Biden administration weighing $450K-a-person compensation to migrant families separated by Trump
Washington Examiner ^ | October 28, 2021 | Anna Giaritelli

The Biden administration is reportedly considering paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to migrant families separated at the southern border during the Trump administration, about $1 billion in total.

Officials from the departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Justice have proposed paying each person $450,000, or nearly $1 million per two-person family, to settle claims about the lasting traumatic and psychological effects of being torn apart as a result of former President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday afternoon.

The left for many years has used collusive lawsuits and coordinated agency settlements to advance policies that could never be enacted by legitimate means. This has all the earmarks.

At some time during the campaign or immediately after the election, it became clear that the Biden administration would work full tilt for open borders. Nominal statements of policy were irrelevant; at every point of decision at every operational level, the Biden junta would gut immigration control and open the floodgates.

The hard core open border activists probably sat around a conference table with the Biden personnel team and discussed who would join the administration and work from the inside and who would stay outside in the pressure groups. They would also have discussed in detail how they would cooperate. Everything shown to the public was nothing more than a kabuki dance.

With regard to this particular venture, the inside players in the Biden administration probably collaborated with the ACLU in drafting the lawsuit, and the ACLU and other activist groups consulted on the DHS/DOJ/Biden administration response. It is probably a seamless conspiracy.

The question is whether any outside group has the standing to intervene and whether any outside group has had the time to get up to speed. The conspirators may have operated quite secretly in the hopes of springing a done deal before anyone else can act.

This is old hat for the left. The environmental groups and organized labor have done this with democrat administrations for many years. I imagine it has happened in many other areas as well.

There’s always a chance that a judge or an appellate court won’t go along, but if the plaintiff and the defendant are in agreement, the deck is pretty well stacked.

Guess there will be lots of Caucasian English-speaking lawn services forming for the newly minted illegal border crossing millionaires...

The Charleston church settlement also looks like a collusive lawsuit.

People in this country work their entire lives to save that much money.

I have a hard time believing this is a legitimate proposal.

Having said that, maybe this joke of an administration is floating this ridiculous trial balloon to make black reparations seem more reasonable by comparison.

There should be a law that any compensation paid to illegal immigrants be decided on the pay scale of their own country.

He’s out of his mind. The idea alone is crazy. But, I’m sure there’s some illegal things going on.
This is a method of money laundering. Pure and simple.

Just as designed.

What do you do when you have a traitor as “President” of your country openly inviting the world to invade your country?

When in the history of the world has a country’s leader told other countries to come invade, there will be no military force stopping you, here the the keys to our country, come and get it. We will REWARD YOU for invading our country?

The people pulling Biden’s strings really, really hate our country. This is yet another example that positively reeks of 0bama.

“Its like monopoly money”

It will be soon, like Confederate currency on the night they rode ol’ Dixie down. Welcome to the Whinemore Republic. Loaf of bread, only one wheelbarrow full of bills. Got a grudge over living this way? Blame it on the Jooos! Or Trump supporters. Or Mexicans. Or anti-vaxxers. Or whatever. Scapegoats are all anyone will have plenty of.

$450K buys a lot of bullets. Perhaps that would be a wiser way to stop this invasion.

The Deep State Syndicate keeps upping the ante in their attempts to provoke patriots to violence.

They are trying to make the US populace insane and violent.

I suspect that it is going to work. I recommend letting others take the bait though.

“I recommend letting others take the bait though.”

What happens after that?
