This is from Congressman Dan Crenshaw's office. It refers to illegal alien families who were separated at the border in 2018 while Trump was President. That's $450,000 per person including the children. Here is Cong. Crenshaw's post.

Biden wants to pay illegal immigrants $450,000 for their hardship while breaking our laws.

For perspective, if a service member is killed in action, their next of kin gets an insurance payment of $400,000.

Let that sink in.

The U.S. is in talks to offer immigrant families separated at the border in 2018 about $450,000 a person in compensation, people familiar with the matter say https://on.wsj.com/3pMkU9x

Isn't that special! I think giving each family a Hunter Biden original would be a more personal gift. The family could then proudly exhibit that in their brand new home on the beach next door to the Bidens.

Not Biden’s money. He wants us to give them $450,000 each.

Every legal immigrant needs to demonstrate self sufficiency. But enter illegally, you get to stay without process, you get to go to school, you get paid, tax free(?), the equivalent of 5-10 years of many peoples wages.

At least one source I heard refers to this as reparations. So that would then be on the table, opening up a much larger can of worms.

This proposal comes from an idiot and is positively the biggest sack of bullshit I have ever heard.

We should give them double that, I’m sure it’s our inherent bias and white privilege that made it difficult for them, we owe it to them, how else can we build, back, better?

I really don't know what to say. I read something like this and it's like being kicked in the nuts.

The sheer idiocy of a proposal such as this is beyond words.

Wait a minute! Weren't we all separated from families during the COVID lockdown?

Of course, we'll have to be excluded because we aren't illegals and because SOMEONE has to pay for this.

What's the value of citizenship....?

quote:

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents families in one of the lawsuits, has identified about 5,500 children separated at the border over the course of the Trump administration, citing figures provided to it by the government. ...

The total potential payout could be $1 billion or more.

Seems to me one of the bad actors here is the ACLU. (I know, big shock)

How many of the kids in cages from the Obama/Biden administration are getting payouts? What about the ones from the Harris/Biden administration?

If I leave the U.S., maybe a weekend in Canada or Mexico or something, and then sneak back in (instead of coming back at a legit border crossing), could I get $450,000?

I want some free shit too. Difference is, I've been paying into it for most of my life. And I served in U.S. military. I guess those two are reasons to disqualify me from a bunch of cash.

Be fair here. Its not like its his money he's giving away. Only easy to come by tax money.

I identify as an illegal kid that can't find my mommy.
Where do I go to collect?

Maximum payout from a SGLI life insurance policy for military members, is $400,000.

This payment to illegal aliens would be for a minimum of 2 people in a family so an illegal alien family of 1 parent and 1 child would receive $900,000

A family of 2 would receive $500,000 more for breaking our laws than maximum a family could receive from loss of their loved one while on active duty.

A solider dying on active duty is worth half million dollars less than a family of two (non-US citizens) crossing our board illegally, to Democrats.

How can the Democrats even bring this up for consideration?
