A day after President Joe Biden denied that border crossers could be paid off nearly half a million each as part of a Department of Justice settlement, his White House admits that such payouts will happen "If it saves taxpayer dollars."
Last month, reports circulated that Biden's DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Health and Human Services were working to settle with a number of border crossers represented by the ACLU, who claim they have suffered trauma as a result of former President Donald Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy that was briefly imposed in 2019.
As part of the settlement, attorneys with the DOJ, DHS, and HHS are considering a plan that would give each border crosser about $450,000 and family units about $1 million.
On Thursday White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed border crossers could secure payouts "If it saves taxpayer dollars" and suggested that Biden does not have much say in a DOJ settlement despite his comments on the issue.
The back-tracking from the White House on Biden's previous comments came as the ACLU ripped into the president for denying that border crossers will secure payouts in the settlement.
The payouts to border crossers would be a massive win for pro-mass immigration groups and the open borders lobby - securing a settlement that would exceed the compensation rewarded to the victims of the September 11, 2001 Islamic terrorist attacks and the Boston Marathon bombings.
Analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform has calculated that with the money potentially going to border crossers, the federal government could feed thousands of poor American families, house tens of thousands of homeless Americans, and forgive the student loan debt of nearly 30,000 American college students and graduates.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
