You might not be able to feed your family. But that isn’t the problem of the US government.
Their problem is doing right by the illegal immigrants that the orange man abused with hatred.
The Biden administration is discussing paying out hundreds of millions of dollars to illegal immigrant families who were separated at the US-Mexico border under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy in 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
According to the Journal, the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the payments in order to settle lawsuits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and others on behalf of families who crossed into the US from Mexico illegally to seek asylum.
The paper reports that the average demand in each lawsuit adds up to approximately $3.4 million per family, while the settlement offer being mooted by the Biden administration amounts to around $450,000 per person and close to $1 million per family.
The Journal reported that the ACLU has identified approximately 5,500 children affected by the policy, which advocates say caused physical and mental trauma in children who were taken from their parents. So far, around 940 claims have been filed by immigrant families.
Depending on how much is doled out to settle each claim, the cost to taxpayers could approach $1 billion.
The Biden administration is correct to provide relief to the children and families affected by the government’s horrific practice of family separation,” ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt said in a statement. “Their suffering is something they will always live with, and it is a deep moral stain on our country. We need to make it right, and this includes not simply any monetary support, but also a path to remain here. This is what is right and fair.”
The ACLU statement did not say how far along settlement talks had progressed, but the Journal reported that lawyers on both sides of the lawsuits had told courts overseeing the cases they hoped to reach final agreement by the end of November.
A billion isn’t much these days.
In fact, a billion is so little these days, that each of these illegals that were abused by the orange tyrant should get a billion.
Blacks should also each get a billion, because of slavery.
What difference does it make?
They just print the money, and printing money is good for the economy.
They really need to start printing higher denomination notes.
Bring back the $10,000 bill and put George Floyd’s face on it.
