This is pure bribery. The Wall Street Journal broke the news that the Biden Administration is considering giving people here illegally $450,000 per PERSON.

Yes, you absolutely read that correctly. 

The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.

The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said.

There are SO many things wrong with this bribery scheme, and make no mistake, that is EXACTLY what it is. Bribery. 

Furthermore, this is directly aimed at the Trump Administration. The Biden Administration and every leftist media person out there went apeshit over the fact that President Donald Trump wanted to keep our borders secure. They screamed at the sky about kids in cages, and bitched and moaned about the fact that Trump and the border patrol were being so very mean to those here illegally. 

Which is incredibly ironic and infuriating given that many of those families and hundreds of those children were not only here illegally, they arrived here with zero family in residence in the United States. 

This bribery program is also to help those who were traumatized by their time at the border? Who will vet those families for their veracity on those claims? Pretty damned sure they’ll be able to fill out a piece of paper and DHS will just rubber stamp it, hand them a check and send them on their merry way! 

How much will this bribery scheme cost American taxpayers?

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

Our border is currently overrun. It wasn’t in 2018. But it is now. Our CBP officers have been blasted for supposedly whipping illegals. Thousands of Haitians magically made their way from Brazil only to get parked under a bridge because the facilities ran out of room. Illegals are being sent all over the United States, WITHOUT the proper paperwork or the mandatory court appearances ordered. Not only that, but the Border Patrol along with the rest of DHS is facing mandatory vaccinations of the Bat Flu virus while illegals are given a complete and total pass. 

Keep in mind, we are talking $450,000 per PERSON here. Yet for the last two years, anyone sitting at home due to the lockdowns was only handed $600 per month. That’s because paying people $2,000 per month was too much. 

Yet we are supposed to be ok with the Biden Administration handing over bribes to the tune of $1 billion or more to people who arrived here illegally in 2018 and are now claiming without merit that they were traumatized on the border?

I say hell no to this. As should we all. 

Joe Biden wants to give illegal aliens removed under President Trump's zero-tolerance policy $450,000 per person of taxpayer money—payouts more than some families of 9/11 victims received.

Oh, but you see, 9/11 was only an attack by someone from outside the country. Yes, the Biden Administration and the ACLU – who is party to these lawsuits are here to inform us that since it’s the U.S. fault that people tried and succeeded in entering country illegally, they are OWED compensation for their imaginary trauma? Again, I say NO.

You know what? If this case actually goes through, and the leftist will do everything they can to make it so, the current border crisis will seem like child’s play compared to what can happen down the road. 

Fiscal 2021 totals, which were released on Friday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, showed the RGV agents encountered 549,077 migrants — a 508% increase from Fiscal 2020. The sector also had one-third of all encounters in Fiscal 2021 on the southern border, according to the CBP year-end figures.

“It’s the highest in decades since we’ve been keeping track,” Border Patrol Special Operations Supervisor Christian Alvarez said Wednesday.

And we still have two months to go. Governor Abbott is correct. 

The Biden Administration is AWOL at the southern border.

Texas has thousands of National Guard & @TxDPS officers, including Texas Rangers, deployed to secure the border.

Seriously, show up at the border. Get allowed in because that’s how the Biden Administration rolls these days, claim trauma and get a big fat payday. 

It’s pure bribery. And the Biden Administration is hoping for votes with this scheme.
