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.

This whole idea of compensation out of court rests on the assumption that going to trial would result in higher compensation because “surely an American jury would be sympathetic to immigrant rights”. Well, not if the trial was held in Texas as it should be.
Went to Disneyland.
Lost my child.
All I got for it was this half a million dollar payout from the park.
Biden is also separating children from parents:
Exactly
iirc, Mr. Biden said those who came here legally OR ILLEGALLY and were separated from their child should be compensated.
I hope the lawyer for Ashli Babbit’s Mom is paying attention to this....Ashli Babbit’s Mom has been permanently separated from her child ...if I’m correct, Capitol Police are government employees....thus the separation was result of government policies or actions. And, based on Mr. Biden’s statement, imho, accusing Ashli of illegal behavior should not negate compensation to Ashli’s Mom.
All this being said, no amount of money can compensate Ashli’s Mom and husband for her unnecessary and tragic death. Condolences to Ashli’s Mom and husband.
This retard wants to PAY illegal criminal invaders to bring their purported kids across our borders and then complain how we “separate” them. Then don’t come here-—oh, but then you couldn’t get paid by absolutely insane libtards, could you?
