Testifying in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday morning, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed the Biden Administration is encouraging illegal immigrant families "separated from their children" to sign up for taxpayer funded relief checks.
"We recently launched a website where families who were indeed separated can register for relief. We are working very closely with counsel for the families. We are working with the government, the nation's of origin to accelerate the provision of passports for parents who do indeed want to come here," Mayorkas said.
It’s outrageous to offer massive, taxpayer funded financial payments to illegal immigrants who broke our laws.

Two weeks ago the Wall Street Journal reported the Biden administration plans to issue $450,000 checks to each illegal immigrant who makes a claim of separation.
"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," WSJ reported. "The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said."
President Biden responded to the report by calling it "garbage."

Three days later, Biden changed his position and said the government should do provide compensation to those who have broken the law.
"Because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal and you lost your child, you lost your child, he’s gone, you deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance," Biden said.
As a reminder, children were often separated under the Trump administration when it was unclear adults illegally traveling across the southern border with minors were actually their parents.
“If there's no documentation to confirm the claimed relationship between an adult and a child, we [separate] if the parent is a national security, public or safety risk, including when there are criminal charges at issue and it may not be appropriate to maintain the family in detention together,” DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said at the White House Monday.
“We also separate a parent and child if the adult is suspected of human trafficking. There have been cases where minors have been used and trafficked by unrelated adults in an effort to avoid detention,” she continued. “And I'd stop here to say, in the last five months, we have a 314 percent increase in adults and children arriving at the border, fraudulently claiming to be a family unit. This is, obviously, of concern.”
Did Congress authorize these payments or has the executive taken over that function?
Either way the Americans should rise up fill out the form and over whelm their system.
Sort of. The executive manages the payments and tells congress to F off and congress just sits on its collective butt doing nothing about it.
This is nothing more than the democrats under Biden using our taxpayer money to by illegal alien votes.
OBTW, hey African-Americans how do you like them apples? You were tossed over for invaders! You’re only good every four years and the midterms elections...other than that you’re worthless to the Democrats. The only thing those evil POS rats see in your race is a vote to keep them in power. 😂 Keep voting for them. They haven’t done diddley squat for you.
Illegal Immigrants Would Get $10.5 Billion From Reconciliation Bill

The budget reconciliation package pushed by Democrats creates a new expanded child tax credit (CTC) that would pay illegal immigrants some $10.5 billion next year. All immigrants with children are eligible, regardless of how they got here and whether their children are U.S.-born. This includes the roughly 600,000 unaccompanied minors and persons in family units stopped at the border in FY2021 and released into the country pending a hearing. Cash welfare to illegal immigrants is not just costly; it also encourages more illegal immigration.
Although it is referred to as a “refundable credit,” the new CTC, like the old additional child tax credit (ACTC) it replaces, pays cash to low-income families who do not pay any federal income tax. The new program significantly increases the maximum cash payment from $1,400 per child to $3,600 for children under 6, and to $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17. After 2022, the maximum payment would be $2,000 per child, but advocates hope the much larger payments will be extended.
In an analysis conducted in October, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I estimated that illegal immigrants with U.S.-born children would receive $8.2 billion from the new CTC. However, we had assumed that the new program, like the old ACTC, would require children claimed as dependents to have Social Security numbers (SSNs). But reconciliation (page 1452, line 14) would permanently repeal this requirement.

Just to be clear:
Parents send their kids 3000 miles north to the United States, not knowing if they ever made it.
SouthWest Key, a La Raza Organization, started adopting out the kids to other families in 2010, and continued doing so until they were fired in 2018.
Now the parents, who basically abandoned their children, have come looking for them and are compensated 450K by the US, because they were adopted out.
Wouldn’t this be considered child abuse? I mean, here in the USA, you would go to prison for this.
Hello?
They break the law. You pay for it.

I said they plan to replace us after taking all our money. They’re well on the way.
The “immigrants” are insulated from inflation. Their payments will go up. We are targeted by inflation, on purpose. Inflation is destroying any savings we might have had. We will NOT get a raise. The new “guests” will.
The replacement is well on its way. The seizure of money is about 1/3 done.
Do the young voters know what they will have to pay in the future in taxes to support these illegal immigrants? The costs will be devastating as will the costs of inflation on the debt, which they will have to pay.
