The Biden Administration is working on a deal to pay illegals $450,000 because they were separated when they came across the border illegally. On Thursday, Nov. 4th, or Friday, Nov. 5th, the president was asked directly about these payments and he flatly denied that there was any talk of payments. Later that day, the Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed that they were in negotiations with the ACLU to come up with a plan to pay up to $450,000 to families that were separated at the border, where they illegally crossed.

Supposedly, the ACLU and the Justice Dept. are trying to figure out a way to settle lawsuits from the illegal family members that were separated. The illegal people are filing lawsuits against the country that they “broke into.” When did this become a thing? Can I go to Canada and sue them? How about Russia? China? Maybe I go into Iran or North Korea? We all know what happens in those countries if you are not there legally.

$450,000. When our heroes in the military died while in service to our country, the family gets $100,000

Families should not be separated. However, families should not be coming in illegally. About 2 million this year.

When someone commits a crime that results in prison, the families do not get any compensation. Are they going to get a $450,000 payment? They broke the law. The armed robber goes to prison for years, but the illegals are welcomed and made comfortable.

The ACLU is American Civil Liberties Union. American. The Dept. Of Justice is the American Dept. of Justice and are paid from our tax money. Any payments that end up going to these illegals will come from our taxes. We have no say in this.

One example of the absurdity that should get every warm-blooded American angry is what has happened at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. This was an army base that was closed. They re-opened it to approximately 13,000 illegals. The Biden Group calls it a “refugee camp.” The border-jumpers are warm, fed, clothed and have access to medical care. It is now a hub of activity. A small town in Wisconsin. Down the road a veteran who fought for our country is homeless, shivering in the cold, hungry and alone.
