EXCLUSIVE: Republicans in the House will intro a bill on Thursday to block a plan signaled by the Biden administration to pay millions of dollars to separated illegal immigrants under the Trump administration – as President Biden has sought to reject the reports.
Representative Tom McClintock, a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee’s Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee, will present the Prohibition of Illegal Immigration Act, which amends 18 USC 2414 – which gives the Attorney General the power to enter into settlement agreements.
BIDEN LABELS INFORM THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY SEPARATED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS $ 450,000 “garbage”
The bill would prevent the attorney general from making settlement payments to illegal immigrants that arise directly from their violation of immigration laws, including laws that criminalize illegal border crossings and make a migrant ineligible for attempting to enter a country illegally at a port of entry. .
The bill is co-sponsored by Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy, Judiciary Committee member Jim Jordan and 135 other members, and it represents a coordinated effort by House Republicans to block a plan reported by the Biden administration to pay $ 450,000 per migrant who has been separated. as part of the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.
“Who says crime doesn’t pay? Under Biden, he apparently pays very well,” McClintock said in a statement. “Law-abiding and hard-working Americans saw their purchasing power decimated by Biden’s economic policies as he made our border south. of the stock market, and that is why we must act today to stop this outrageous plan in its tracks. “

This is in response to a lawsuit filed by civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union.
Payments could therefore rise to nearly $ 1 million per family and $ 1 billion in total, although the Journal said many families would get lower payments. The New York Times, who also reported planned payments, estimated that around 5,500 children have been separated from their parents at the southern border under the policy.
Biden was asked about the reports by TBEN News’ Peter Doocy on Wednesday and categorically rejected them – calling them “garbage” when asked if it would further encourage illegal immigration.
“If you keep sending that garbage? Yeah, but that’s not true,” he said.

But Biden’s firing has so far done little to end the controversy over the reports, which has aroused the wrath of Republicans, who have drawn comparisons to what military and military families others are paid and have warned that this could encourage more illegal immigration amid an ongoing border crisis.
McCarthy, who recently called for a meeting with Biden on the border crisis and Congressional Democrats’ plans to include the amnesty for illegal immigrants in the reconciliation bill, said the proposals reported showed that the priorities of Biden were “back”.
“With all the challenges Americans face every day – including an unprecedented border crisis – providing $ 450,000 per person to illegal immigrants is sheer folly,” he said in a statement. “This is not only an insult to the American people, but it will also worsen the border crisis and lead to a trade boom for the drug cartels and human traffickers, who are already exploiting the Democrats’ dire border policies. ”
“Democrats are shutting down the economy, paying people not to work, raising your taxes, and now want to give illegal immigrants $ 450,000 checks paid by US taxpayers,” Jordan said. “Our bill would ensure that the attorney general cannot unilaterally make this happen.”

The amendment was supported by more than two dozen Senate Republicans, including GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. Daines also introduced the bill as a stand-alone measure.
Meanwhile, the ACLU hit back at Biden’s dismissal of the reports on Wednesday night, saying Biden “may not have been fully briefed on the actions of his own Department of Justice as he carefully deliberated and reviewed the reports. crimes committed against thousands of families separated from their children as an intentional government policy.
“But if he follows through on what he said, the president is abandoning a fundamental campaign pledge to bring justice to the thousands of separated families,” ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement. communicated. “We respectfully remind President Biden that he called these actions ‘criminal’ in a debate with then President Trump and campaigned to redress the lawlessness of the Trump administration. We call on President Biden to right the wrongs of this national tragedy. “.
How about a bill to block the vax mandate?!
I like it.
While the GOP sits on their hands as the Biden admin forces gene serums into our children’s bodies and makes second class citizens out of freedom loving patriots.
It’s disgusting.
Continuing to deny it with their silence and internal censorship to this day.
They're complicit in the fraud that put Biden in office because they hate Trump.
I hope they live the nightmare they've created everyday
Then, they can all rot in hell for betraying the country and a sitting President.

The Biden administration is reportedly considering payouts of $450,000 to each person separated from their family at the southern border. A Wall Street Journal report on the potential settlements sparked outrage from some, drawing comparisons to 9/11 compensation. If the settlements happen, the federal government would award money for claims that U.S. government policies left the border crossers with lasting psychological effects. Since the deal would be per person and those crossing the border generally included a parent and child, the total per family could approach $1 million. Approximately 940 families have reportedly filed claims, but how many people will...snip
