Biden: Migrant families separated under Trump 'deserve' compensation
The Hill ^ | November 6, 2021 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 11/06/2021 10:03:32 AM PDT by Half_Retired

Biden's impassioned comments came during a press conference on the passage of a $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill. He was questioned about his remarks earlier in the week when he was asked about reports that his administration was preparing to pay separated families up to $450,000 per individual, which Biden said was "not gonna happen."

The president on Saturday said he was specifically referring to the dollar amount that had been reported, not the concept of compensating separated families entirely.

The payments would come as part of settlements with separated families suing the government over treatment during the Trump era. Under the zero tolerance policy, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in shelters while the adults were prosecuted.

They were/are separated from their families.

>>>Migrant families separated under Trump ‘deserve’ compensation<<<

I agree! But not to exceed the cost of a bus ride to their country of origin, and maybe a new raft at the shoreline.

Fine. Compensate them by reuniting them in their home country.

Why not? The bastard along with the Marxists just got emboldened! Ugh! Hell let’s just fund the whole freakin world! The way I am feeling right now I am just so pissed we deserve to go the way of the Roman empire. When those RINO bastards who voted for this atrocious Bill are out of office we need to go and pound their homes with eggs they should not be able to roam free in our country and bank in millions of payoff money. Because you know and I know they got paid off. We oughta take Maxine Waters advice and hunt them down ....no peace for the traitors..NONE ZIP!! This will affect our children’s future for the rest of their lives and as long as this nation stands. And remember they still have one year to destroy and bring this nation to its knees. This is only the beginning of many more bills to come like these. And we will always have pubs in wolves clothing backstabbing their base.

Illegals aliens should not have been in this country in the first place. To pay them for breaking our laws makes a mockery of justice. The illegals should pay compensation to us.

1. They do NOT deserve crap
2. It is debatable that those were “families.”

They all seem to forget that many families paid coyotes (remember that word AOC) to traffic their kids up to El Norte and we were isolating them for their safety and to conduct DNA tests to determine if the smugglers were actual relatives...
