Do you remember Grif’s post of October 28 on F*ck Joe Biden’s plan to give $450,000 of taxpayer dollars to each illegal immigrant who was separated from their family during the Trump administration in compensation for their “lasting psychological trauma”?
According to the Wall St. Journal, the plan was hatched by F*ck Joe Biden’s departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services. Although the amounts have not ben finalized, the total could be almost $1 million per family.
There is still some sanity left in the America that the Left had systematically and relentlessly destroyed.
Apparently, F*ck Joe Biden’s plan was met with such widespread outrage that he is now backing off from the insane plan.
NewsMax reports that on Nov. 3, 2021:
Biden insisted his administration was not considering paying migrant families separated under the Trump administration $450,000 per person. ‘
“That’s not going to happen,” Biden told media members, the Washington Examiner reported….
Biden admitted that paying migrants could motivate more people to try to enter the U.S. illegally.
“If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah, but it’s not true,” he said.
The ACLU [who favors the money-giving plan]…tweeted that the president “may not have been fully briefed about the actions of his very own DOJ.” […]
Asked about Biden’s comment on Wednesday, a Justice Department spokeswoman said “the department will not comment on ongoing litigation,” The New York Times reported.
Families were separated under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ April 2018 “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting all adults apprehended after illegally crossed the border. Trump signed an order to end family separations in June 2018.
Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of parents and children who blame government for leaving them with “lasting psychological trauma,” according to the Journal, which added that about 940 claims had been filed.
I wouldn’t be complacent about F*ck Joe Biden backing off from the plan because:
- The federal agencies behind the scheme (DOJ, DHS and HHS) have not refuted the plan.
- There is still the matter of the 940 lawsuits that were filed on behalf of the “separated” illegal-migrants.
