Biden says $450K payments to families separated at southern border are 'not going to happen'
Source: Politico

President Joe Biden on Wednesday dismissed the idea that immigrant families separated at the southern border under his predecessor’s zero-tolerance policy could receive payments of $450,000 per person in monetary settlements, calling the report “garbage.”

Following remarks at the White House about Covid vaccines for children, Biden was asked by a Fox News reporter whether the payments would incentivize more people to cross the border illegally.

“If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah,” Biden said. “But it’s not true.”

When pressed on the matter, Biden appeared surprised by the $450,000 figure.
      

Interesting tactic, DUmmies: go all-in for something, and when the voters call bullshit, you feign ignorance. Like CRT, for example, which you guys supported until voters said GFY.

15. So much for another FB meme.

It sounded absurd that we could rant anyone half a million dollars when we can't spend money on bridges, but there ya go.

Well, DUmmies, if it's all bullshit (like CRT, amirite?) then why is the ACLU all butthurt?

22. The ACLU claims Biden must not be aware of their negotiations with DOJ

The ACLU claims President Biden must not be aware of their negotiations with DOJ after his response to that question. This issue alone could lose us the House and Senate next year.

“ Biden’s comments on Wednesday drew ire from immigration advocates like ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero, who said Biden might have not been up to speed on the Justice Department’s actions as it “carefully deliberated and considered the crimes committed against thousands of families separated from their children as an intentional governmental policy.”

“But if he follows through on what he said, the president is abandoning a core campaign promise to do justice for the thousands of separated families,” Romero said. “We respectfully remind President Biden that he called these actions ‘criminal’ in a debate with then-President Trump, and campaigned on remedying and rectifying the lawlessness of the Trump administration. We call on President Biden to right the wrongs of this national tragedy.”

Looks like it's a real thing after all, and we all know that Biden has a better idea of what's in his diaper than what's going on in his own Administration.


Cannot WAIT for 2022.

The WSJ reported it weeks ago and there were follow-up articles by the WP and the NYT. But because Cap’n Dementia claims it was never a thing, the primitives naturally believe him without question like the sheeple they are.

There was a thread over there where they were all a twitter about how Joe Biden schooled Doocy and put him in his place, now it turns out to be absolutely true.

What’s hilarious is the fact they all talked about how stupid anyone would have to be to actually BELIEVE the democrats would be so dumb as to actually give these payments … now they have to backtrack and explain why these payments are actually a GOOD thing, and sorely needed.
