On Tuesday, 146 GOP lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Illegal Immigrant Payoff Prohibition Act of 2021, to prevent the U.S. attorney general from making settlement payments to individuals and families who entered the United States illegally. The bill comes in response to reports that the Biden Administration “is planning to pay illegal immigrants who were separated from their families at the border up to $450,000 each, possibly a million dollars per family.”
While Biden emphatically denied the payment reports, his deputy press secretary later contradicted him by confirming to Fox News that “the President is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government.” Meanwhile, the GOP is taking no chances.
Congressman Tom McClintock (CA-04), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship, introduced the bill. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (OH-04) are the principal co-sponsors.
“Who says crime doesn’t pay? Under Biden it apparently pays very well indeed,” remarked Rep. McClintock upon introducing the bill. “Law-abiding, hardworking Americans have seen their purchasing power decimated by Biden’s economic policies while he has surrendered our southern border. Paying illegal immigrants $450,000 apiece as an apology for Trump’s decision to enforce our immigration law adds insult to injury. Congress has the power of the purse, and that’s why we must act today to stop this outrageous plan in its tracks.”

What if Biden VETOS the bill?
Does Congress have enough votes to override it?
I predict that Nacy will have Bidens back and this bill wont even make it out of the House.
This is just Republican Kabuki theater. Each and everyone of the 146 knows it. Election year red meat.
I wonder if the 13 traitors attached their signatures to it?
There’s 213 GOP member in the House, so why aren’t there 213 introducing this Bill, instead of just 146? If only 146 GOP House members had rejected Biden’s electors on January 6th.
Only 146?????
“Who says crime doesn’t pay?
Under Biden it apparently pays very well indeed,” remarked Cali Rep. Tom McClintock upon introducing the bill.
“Law-abiding, hardworking Americans have seen their purchasing power decimated by Biden’s economic policies while he has surrendered our southern border.”
“Paying illegal immigrants $450,000 apiece as an apology for Trump’s Constitutionally-demanded decision to enforce our immigration law adds insult to injury. “
“Congress has the power of the purse, and that’s why we must act today to stop this outrageous plan in its tracks.”
That was **great**. Thanks for reposting it!
Memorable.......deserved a repeat.
Every $450,000 reward paid to criminal entrants to the USA would pay the monthly check for an average Social Security recipient each & every month for 25 years.
This is insane.
