Fox's Peter Doocy asks Biden about obscene payments to immigrants
2021-11-02
[BIZPACREVIEW] President Biden looked away and scratched his forehead when Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy yelled a question at him on Sunday regarding rumored plans to pay $450,000 per person to illegal immigrants separated from their families during the Trump administration.

“Mr. President, is it true we’re going to give $450,000 to border crossers who are separated?” Doocy shouted at Biden while he was taking an escalator after his press conference in Rome at the end of the G20 gathering.

Biden was looking at the camera when Doocy yelled his question. His curious and dismissive response was to ignore it and look away while scratching his head.

The potentially massive payments were reported by the Wall Street Journal Thursday. Evidently, the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are seriously considering making the payment to family members who were separated after crossing the border illegally during the Trump administration in connection to a lawsuit. The move is ostensibly a political one as no such offers are being made to the families that Obama separated during his tenure.

The move could mean that each family would see close to $1 million in payments with a total estimated cost of $1 billion overall. The Journal did note that many of the families would get much smaller payments than that.

Republicans and conservatives are livid over the proposal. The payments could well exceed those given to families of 9/11 victims and Gold Star families.

Those who lose a loved one in military service are entitled to a death gratuity of $100,000. Life insurance from the Servicemember Group Life Insurance (SGLI) maxes out at a benefit of $400,000 and the service member had to have paid into it to get that benefit.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) claimed that the reported payments were “another way President Biden is putting America last.”

Initial seed money for trial attorneys. Trump's kidnapping of these migrans was criminal !

The goal is simply humiliation.
No rational policy end whatsoever; just triumph and destruction. Destruction of a great nation.
