As I understand it. DOJ want to settle out of court. Not sure where authority belongs in that case.

It’s all about creating dependency.

“Freedom is not empowerment… Anybody can grab a gun and be empowered. It’s not entitlement. An entitlement is what people on welfare get, and how free are they? It’s not an endlessly expanding list of rights - the “right” to education, the “right” to food and housing. That’s not freedom, that’s dependency. Those aren’t rights, those are the rations of slavery - hay and a barn for human cattle.”

P.J. O’Rourke

More outrageous crap from Clueless Joe.

***************

He may be clueless, but he’s in charge and wielding power like no one ever has before. Something is horribly wrong with this country. And there’s no end in sight to this mess.

ACLU already has decided that.

How about a free bus ticket back to the craphole country you came from, instead of years in a U.S. jail as ‘just compensation.’

Separation of powers means neither the Administration nor the Judiciary can compel Congress to allocate spending. If either of these branches decide to spend unallocated funds paying off illegal invaders, it would be just if the next R Congress stripped the DoJ of twice the value of the aggregate settlements from their budget. Republicans should make it clear that a future Republican Congress will absolutely trim the DoJ budget to the previous year’s amount, then deduct double the total amount of settlements. If any court “ordered” such payments, its operating budget should be zeroed.

BTW, how the F does the aclu have “standing” to instigate these cases?

Parents and their children have been separated by American immigration policies for decades, if not longer. This has often happened out of view from most Americans and photographers’ cameras, starting from the first migrations from Latin America to the United States.

One of the earliest of the documented cases of family separation as policy came in the form of mass deportations during the Great Depression. At local, state, and federal levels, officials launched “repatriation campaigns” that removed nearly 2 million Mexicans, or Mexican-Americans, both permanent and undocumented residents from the United States. Some parents would get detained in immigration raids that left their children untouched and still in the country.

That slowed right after WWII but the feds had other ideas on why and how. During World War II, when the agriculture industry, like many other industries, found itself with a shortage of labor, the federal government recruited Mexican men to work in the U.S. as part of the Mexican Farm Labor Agreement, nicknamed the “bracero” program. Many of the men who were recruited had families back in Mexico—and many said that separation was intentional, given that the government that didn’t want foreign workers to stay very long. They weren’t going to settle in the United States if they had families back in Mexico. But they chose to and figured out ways to get the family in and “repatriated” themselves to the US in the next to worst conditions not a lot different than what they had.

And now that the southern border is filled with people that wouldn’t stay and fix their own place like we did with the British, French, and Germany. They are noiw worse than ever flooding us bringing with them disease, poverty, crime, and our current government’s desire to use them for votes so they bribe them with money that they didn’t earn taking that from those that did. They should have stayed and fixed their problems there and not bring them here for our government’s covert use of money to get their votes.

But any time an immigrant is coming to a new established nation to escape the last one, and not to improve the next one, then it will be nothing but failure. They are only concerned withj escape and don’t care how they get it. Thus that’s why it fails now different from the first of the illegal and legal immigration and does not have a chance of success.

How does the DOJ get to make a decision on monetary matters?
Isn’t this in the pervue of Congress?

I know the entire government is ignoring laws it wrote, but how does the DOJ merit this deicsion?


Now now, EVERYTHING's legal under the Biden Regime, don-cha-know...

Leftists do whatever they want until someone smacks them down, and that ain't likely to happen anytime soon.

Why didn't someone at Fox push back and say, "Cedric, are you saying that you are prepared to offer the same half-a-million to all the families that Obama Administration with Joe Biden as Vice President separated for eight years? Since he was the first to do so."

Pin this on Big Ears and the Zombie, and it will be an incredible wedge issue in 2022 and 2024.

Don’t forget that the attorneys representing these law breakers will get a minimum 30% cut of the award from every single one of their “clients”. Another taxpayer funded slush fund lining the pockets of dems. All because they broke the law -

This scam has been played many times.
The Democrats are in charge, some prog group sues the government, and they settle and pay out damages. It is all pre-arranged.

Bidumb will reward child abusers and illegal border traffickers with billions of OUR tax dollars.

You can not make this up this absurdity.......we knew Biden was dumb and now he’s drifting into imbecility.

So-called unaccompanied minors got reunited with their “parents”......then quickly got sent back across the border to be reused.

Some reports say the same kids were recycled by trafficers over twenty times.....many of them sexually and physically abused.

That is why the Trump Administration would do checks to confirm familial links, and lacking those, took the children away from those scumbags posing as “parents.”

WH must have panicked when they realized their numbers went DOWN after the announcemant.

And they SENT THIS GUY OUT TO SOFTEN THE NEWS.

It didn’t work. So, he failed. Because it’s ridiculous, ooooo children separated from their parents...that deserves $1,000,000.

Again, HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE.

Keeping with Pedo Joe’s bullying, he is doing this because he thinks it hurts President Trump. He hates PDJT as much as he hates America.

He is the model for early Scrooge/Grinch.

These rigged “settlements” between DOJ and the GAYCLU were stopped under Trump. Under the Rice-Obama 3rd term, they are back in spades.

Congress should vote on every single so-called “settlement.” This is fleecing the taxpayers to support liberal organizations and destroy the US.

“I’m guessing they will award migrants $$$$ maybe even the coveted $450k, but it will be not public knowledge ...”

Maybe they will airlift pallets of cash in the middle of the night to them. Drop bricks of $100’s by drone.
