Apparently not satisfied that his administration is already letting record numbers of illegal migrants into the country on bogus asylum claims, President Joe Biden is now trying to pay illegal immigrants separated at the border millions of dollars.
According to the Wall Street Journal, around 940 families have sued the federal government claiming they were traumatized by President Donald Trump’s policy of separating adults and children who crossed our border illegally. Apparently, the American Civil Liberties Union is trying to get about 5,500 such suits filed.
The article does not explain why the Trump administration is any more or less guilty of causing trauma to children than the Obama administration was when it separated adults and children who crossed the border illegally.
Nor does the article explain why the public should in any way be held liable for trying to enforce our national sovereignty. These migrants knowingly illegally crossed our border.
Remember that tens of thousands of migrants voluntarily separate themselves from their children and send their children alone across the border every month. These are choices migrants are making for themselves. They are choosing to separate themselves from their children. There is absolutely no reason the public should be held responsible for their choices.
Not only is it outrageous the Biden administration is considering paying these illegal immigrants a single dime, but the size of the payments is also damning. Families of soldiers who are killed in action get less money from the government than Biden wants to give these illegal immigrants. The families of 9/11 victims got less money than Biden wants to give these illegal immigrants. At least we know where Biden’s priorities are.
“This is beyond open borders. It’s an assault on American sovereignty,” Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted out in response to the story. He’s right.
