Biden's America: Illegal Aliens Worth More than U.S. Soldiers

[] [Biden's America: Illegal Aliens Worth More than U.S. Soldiers]( by Chris Farrell • November 11, 2021 at 5:00 am [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [WhatsApp]( [Telegram]( [Send]( [Print]( - Press reports say that approximately 940 claims have been filed so far by families that were separated. On October 3, 2019, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit in Tucson, Arizona alleging the U.S. government violated immigrants' rights and deeply traumatized children who were taken from their parents after crossing the border illegally. - U.S. government officials reportedly are not certain how many more will come forward or try and take advantage of the potential settlement, not to mention the incentivizing impact of being rewarded with nearly half a million dollars for breaking the law and entering the US illegally. The New York Times estimates that roughly 5,500 children were separated from their parents as a result of the policies. - The Mexican cartels that control everything and everyone crossing the border are vicious criminal enterprises with no regard for human life. Placing the lives of one's children in their hands is reckless. Subsidizing that unlawful border-crossing conduct with U.S. taxpayer-financed settlement payments to the tune of $1 million dollars per illegal alien family is outrageous in the extreme. It is no wonder that Biden's uninformed, off-the-cuff, common sense reaction to the proposal was to deny it and call it garbage. It is garbage. But now it appears to be garbage that Americans are supposed to buy. - No mention was made, of course, for compensation by the Department of Justice to families separated from their children, permanently, after migrants illegally in the country killed them, or for the families of the roughly 93,000 Americans killed by opiates illegally smuggled across the open border that the Biden administration has now chosen to leave unprotected – nor of the fees that the lawyers bringing the lawsuits stand to get. These wronged families had done nothing illegal; why are they not entitled to compensation, too? The Biden administration is considering payments of $450,000 to illegal aliens – per person – to "immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration" after illegal entering into the United States.

The payments would be part of a settlement of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of illegal alien families. The total settlement amount is reported to be at least $1 billion of federal taxpayer funds. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden told reporters that payments to families separated at the Mexico border are, "Not gonna' happen." When pressed further concerning the likelihood such payments would actually encourage more migrants to try to cross into the United States, Biden said, "If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it's not true." Within 24 hours, the White House reversed itself completely and claimed that Biden was "perfectly comfortable" making the settlement payments.
