If you aren’t a Native American, meaning those belonging to the First Nations Peoples, you or your ancestors are/were illegal immigrants to North America. There doesn’t appear to be any historical records of any native people meeting Europeans on the shore of the continent and telling them they are welcome to come here, take the land and displace the original inhabitants. Our ancestors arrived took what they wanted and after stealing everything from the original inhabitants, made laws to make it illegal for others to treat them like they treated the original inhabitants.
In case anyone is too lazy to read up: the $450,000 is a settlement paid to families that had their children taken away at the border and who are now, understandably, taking the U.S. government to court. The alternative to paying the settlement is to go to trial and possibly end up paying millions, instead of thousands, in damages. If you really believe the government is just handing out $450K to every immigrant willy-nilly … well, you’re probably as dumb as Gorrell.
“In responding to lawsuits stemming from the Trump administration’s family-separation policy, they’re looking at making a decidedly proactive and politically fraught decision. the Biden administration is looking to settle with the immigrant families who were separated from their children during the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, which it later abandoned and a judge halted, ordering the reunification of the families. As The Washington Post and others confirmed, the administration is reportedly considering paying as much as $450,000 per person.”
It’s not $450,000 for coming to the US illegally, it’s atonement for separating children from their parents, who were seeking asylum, and putting them in internment camps causing untold emotional and physical harm.
If you’re mad the US spending to make things right, maybe you should have spoken out against child separation.
instead you compared children being taken from their parents to the national debt:
Cute toon, Bob, but a little lacking in facts. The $450K is an estimate of what the Biden administration might have to pay out per person involved in a lawsuit brought by the the ACLU on behalf of of immigrant families separated by the Trump administration. Biden’s administration is trying to clean up the mess made by your hero over his previous four years in the WH. Citizenship for said families is just that, a suggestion made by the plaintiffs in the civil suit. Your Repub president, Dump, made this mess and now it behooves a Dem president, Biden, to clean it up.
Bob, there are a lot of people throwing facts at you. But if you cared about facts you wouldn’t have drawn this. I see you being jealous and “outraged” or “aggrieved” that someone you think of as lesser is getting more than you – because you think you worked for it.
As the commenters we tell you daily- you are lazy. Whatever you are getting – you don’t deserve. You are entitled and whiny.
Extrapolating from the general conservative predilection to projection, I can only assume that Ricky pooped his pants over the weekend, since that seems to be all he can talk about.
All he had to do was be put in handcuffs and watch his children be stripped from his arms while they screamed for their father, possibly to never see them again.
“The GOP pushback on the payments is also often vastly oversimplified. For instance, it often involves saying $450,000 payments would be given to undocumented immigrants, without noting that many of those involved were seeking asylum and had claims that could be legitimate. Feldman said she is “confident that a significant majority of the cases involve asylum seekers.”
Another is that, even if you allow that most of these cases involve asylum seekers, it’s not just awarding nearly a half-million dollars willy-nilly to anyone trying to cross the border; it’s doing so for those who had their families separated. In more than 1,000 cases, they haven’t been able to be reunited even years later." -Washington Post
OK, Ricky and hjmpianoman: My DIL works at a large hospital in a seriously under-vaccinated state. They have converted all their wards into COVID wards. There is a waiting list for ventilators — you get one when someone dies or is discharged. The hospital is so short-handed that employees are being asked to each work an additional 12-hour shift each week. Last week when I talked to my DIL, they had 42 COVID deaths in one day, all of them unvaccinated individuals. If you were to present with a heart attack or a serious injury, there is no place to put you. Patients can’t be transported to hospitals in surrounding states because hospitals there are all in the same pickle. COVID is real and deadly, and you are both idiots.
In today’s press conference (Wednesday, 11/3) Biden was asked by a FOX personality about the $450,000 per illegal that FOX ‘news’ has been reporting for over a week now. Biden hadn’t even been briefed on the proposal brought to the DOJ by an ACLU attorney, not even being a consideration.
Biden said, a direct quite, to the FOX question : “garbage,,,not gonna happen.”
Those who said Biden was considering this are lying to you.
