Biden: the gift that keeps giving

[Improviso]

Now he's talking about giving $450K to illegals who were separated from family after illegally entering the USA.

God help us. 3 more years of this shit.

[Larry]

We have illegals living rent free in hotels, military vets living on the street, plans to give these illegals 450k, military vets getting nothing, and 40% of the population too stupid to see what's happening.

[Jolly]

It's not that they're too stupid, it's that they don't care. Their votes have been bought, through one social program or another.

[George K]

Why, he knew nothing about it.

Who's driving this bus?

[taiwan_girl]

@george-k In general (not speaking specific about President Biden or this case), but who would be a more accurate source: the President or a private non-government organization?

[George K]

@taiwan_girl good question.

If it's Lyin' Joe, I'll take the word of my 3 year old grandson over his.

[Jolly]

How can Joe not know?

We're talking big bucks. I thought the Fox reporter asked a great question at the last press conference...Why are we giving money to illegal immigrants and giving people who waited their turn and came in the country legally, absolutely nothing?

Who was the idiot that came up with this?

[George K]

@jolly said in Biden: the gift that keeps giving:

Who was the idiot that came up with this?

I'd guess there was more than one idiot.

Not $450,000. Up to One Meelion Dollars!

The ACLU’s theory, which the Biden administration is indulging, is that the Trump administration’s faithful enforcement of federal law created an actionable tort — theoretically, the infliction of emotional distress — for which the American people should pay lucrative settlements (media reports indicate over $1 billion in toto), even though the harm was actually caused by the illegal conduct of the adult aliens.

That is scandalous. The fact that Biden, for demagogic political purposes, called the Trump administration’s actions “criminal” does not make them so. Congress should be vigorously investigating the Department of Justice’s negotiations. In particular, lawmakers should be exploring what lawyers are involved in them, on both sides, and what attorneys’ fees are anticipated to be paid out of the cozy settlements that result. Even if the law has been enforced more exactingly than, from a humanitarian perspective, the circumstances may have warranted, it cannot be an actionable tort to execute Congress’s laws as written.
