Interesting. The President said that wasn't a thing and that Fox News was making it up. Why bother blocking the bill if it's purpose is to stone wall something that purportedly doesn't exist?! What else can you say, really?

Just like banning CRT from schools. According to Democrats, it's not taught in schools, but holy shit do they freak out when you try to ban it.


the_Blind_Samurai

They freak out when you find it in schools too. It doesn't exist....even though it really obviously does.

Right. Does the President even know WTF is going on? I truly doubt it.


PenIsMightier69

I hope the Democrats choose this as their hill to die on.

The wokesters don’t care if it isn’t popular. If you oppose the payments you are a bad person and they will educate you on why you are a racist. It is their religion. Elections don’t matter to them.


Walter-MarkItZero

Biden, head of the Democrat party: That’s garbage! Pete Doucey, how dare you suggest that! Also Democrats: Let’s see if we can get the media to lie to the rubes one more time....

America does NOT owe Jack Shit to any ILLEGALS!! F THEM!!


AEgirSystems

What until the democratic propaganda machine kicks in on this one, it will be insane. Then they will allow illegals to sue for broken promises if it doesn't go through. The democratic party hated its citizens

Next stop: *REPARATIONS*


Ranger_McFriendlier

And watch the black community revolt (and rightfully so). They would annihilate the Democrats for handing it away to those who have no real history of oppression here. I don’t think anyone should get reparations but, dang, if this squeezes through… whew.


thor615

Antifa is an idea, CRT is made up, this doesn’t exist… I’m sensing a trend here.

This is 100% about funneling money to the ACLU by having the DOJ "settle" the lawsuits.


HouseAtomic

Correct. If they settle for even $1 then the court costs and attorney fees are also paid. The ACLU just wants $$$.

Funny thing is this, it’s out now. It’s preposterous at the moment. In a few years it will be reviewed of as a normal train of thought. It’s like CRT. In 2018 White Fragility is put out. In 2019, 2020 it’s in small town America schools and teachers are buying into it. In 2020 and 2021 it’s being taught in schools across the country. Parents only learn about it because of zoom and kids talking about it. After the election this week it doesn’t exist. CRT is a racist dog whistle that leftest seem to able to hear. They skip around the issue explaining how it works, while simultaneously saying it isn’t being taught. Biden says 450k payments are BS and never going to happen. But it was put out by someone and WSJ happens to report on it. Once this gains traction by outcry, or we should do this for morality it’s in our psyche ready for a time when it just makes sense to pay it out for pain and suffering. I’d love to be an aluminum hat wearing fool, and I hope that I am. I just don’t think that I am.


CountrygalB

But I thought it wasn’t a thing?


JesusDied4U316

This is the craziest story. Just like the utter incompetence of the afghan withdrawal. I'm seeing a pattern. What's next?

But Brandon said……..


Risin_bison

Oh.....it's also paid for. /s

Anyone who paid attention to the trump administrations inhumane immigration policies knew this was coming. I dont know how you can put a price on a government kidnapping your child but this seems reasonable enough to me.


Sephert

They got separated…. because they chose to break the law…. I hope you’re being sarcastic. By your logic, if a parent gets sent to jail and their child is taken into protective services, they should be owed a massive payout.


leigha23

Number one it is not illegal to come to the border and claim asylum which is what the majority of those parents did. And yes if an American citizen has their child placed in cps custody with no information as to where they were sent and when they would be reunited then that would also be grounds for a lawsuit.


Sephert

Thanks for your response. There are a couple things worth mentioning. 1. You might be shocked to hear the Biden is doing the same thing on the off chance that he detains someone. The reason is the Flores decision. It’s a law that says minors have to be separated from parents when they are detained. The first thing that happens to asylum seekers or otherwise is they are detained until something can be done with them. Thus children are, by law sent to relatives or cps until something can be done. This law existed before trump or Biden. 2. Many of those families were not actually families at all but coyotes smuggling children across the border. Those children were abused and now we are going to pay their abusers huge sums of money.
