Biden opened the border, flooding our nation with millions of unemployed, unvetted, often terribly sick people who have no knowledge of or respect for our institutions. Most plan to get the welfare and health care Biden promised. Nothing stops terrorists and serious criminals, including killers; rapists; pedophiles; and traffickers of women, children, and drugs. America receives no benefit from opening our border to impoverished, illiterate people from over 120 countries. To add insult to injury, while Americans are being destroyed over the vaccine mandate, illegal aliens need not be vaccinated.
Report: Biden Considers Paying Border Crossers $450K Each in Reparations
President Joe Biden’s administration is considering a plan that would give border crossers, who were subjected to former President Donald Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, about $450,000 each in a reparations-style payout.
Trump had instituted the Zero Tolerance policy at the United States-Mexico border in 2018 to reduce illegal immigration. The policy, as Breitbart News reported at the time, had been effective since at least before 2001.
As a result of the policy, adult border crossers were often put into separate holding facilities from the children they arrived with at the southern border. Since then, the border crossers who were subjected to the policy have sued the federal government.
The Biden administration, the Wall Street Journal reveals, is now weighing whether to provide those border crossers with $450,000 each as part of a payout in the lawsuits filed.
In some instances, a migrant family could secure about $1 million from such a payout, more than some of the American families received following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The payout, overall, could cost American taxpayers more than $1 billion.
The Journal reports:
The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma. [Emphasis added]
The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said. [Emphasis added]
…
In another instance, a Department of Homeland Security attorney involved in the settlement talks complained on a conference call that the payouts could amount to more than some families of 9/11 victims received, one person said. Other people said senior departmental officials were in alignment on the amount and disputed the 9/11 comparison, given that the U.S. government hadn’t been responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The 9/11 victim compensation fund averaged awards to the dead of around $2 million, tax-free, at the time an unprecedented payout, the administrator of the fund has said. [Emphasis added]
“It would be unthinkable to pay damages to a burglar who broke into your home for the ‘psychological trauma’ they endured during the crime,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said in a statement. “And yet the Biden administration wants to reward migrants who illegally entered our country with up to $450,000 each for just that reason.”
“The Biden administration’s promises of citizenship and entitlement programs have already caused the worst border crisis in history — a huge cash reward will make it even worse. This is the height of insanity,” Cotton said.
In their lawsuits, border crossers allege that their separation from the children they arrived with at the U.S.-Mexico border spurred mental health issues and trauma that they have struggled to overcome.
Lawyers for the border crossers want around $3.4 million per family unit.
Such settlements have occurred in recent years. For example, in June 2019, a family of Honduran border crossers won $125,000 in damages after they filed a lawsuit claiming the federal government had mistreated them when holding them in detention facilities.
In May, reports circulated that as part of such a settlement with border crossers subjected to the Zero Tolerance policy, the Biden administration would fly deported illegal aliens back to the U.S. and provide them with amnesty to remain in the country, as well as payments and social services.

FNC’s Carlson: Biden Administration Illegal Immigrant Reparations Proposal the ‘High-Water Mark of Political Lunacy’
Thursday, FNC host Tucker Carlson discussed an effort to push for so-called reparations to be paid out to illegal immigrants.
Carlson cited a report from The Wall Street Journal that the Department of Health and Human Services under President Joe Biden was considering payments that could amount to “$1 million per family.”
According to Carlson, the Biden White House had made some “crazy” proposals, but he called the reparations report “the high-water mark of political lunacy.”
Transcript as follows:
CARLSON: It’s a bewildering experience working in cable news right now. Fun, but pretty unbelievable.
Just about every morning, as we’re putting this show together, some story from the Biden White House crosses our screens and we think to ourselves, “Come on, there’s absolutely no way that can be real, please. It’s just too crazy.”
And of course, pretty much every morning, what we had assumed was a joke turns out to be entirely real. It is actually happening. The Biden demonstration really is that crazy.
They really are firing thousands of nurses in the middle of a pandemic, firing thousands of cops in the middle of a crime wave. No, they’re not kidding, even in the slightest when they tell you, that’s a genuine female four-star Admiral standing right there.
Joe Biden isn’t giggling. He tells you Rachel Levine’s promotion is a victory for women everywhere, and he means it when he says it. He means all of these things, even the ones he doesn’t understand, which is most.
As the guy who runs The Babylon Bee told us recently, it is getting tough to run a parody site in this country. No matter how creative your jokes may be, it is almost impossible to be more ludicrous than reality already is.
And yet, even by those impossibly high standards, we can confidently announce tonight that we have just read the single most deranged news story ever printed in this country. So, no matter what happens going forward, and God knows what that will be, this story will live forever as the high-water mark of political lunacy. Mark your calendars. It’s October 28, 2021. This is the day that things couldn’t possibly get nuttier, and here it is.
According to a piece in this afternoon’s Wall Street Journal, the Biden administration has decided to pay reparations to illegal aliens. In other words, foreigners who came here without invitation, who came in willful violation of legal statutes passed by our Congress per our Constitution, those people are about to get a groveling apology and huge amounts of cash. Why? Because our government dared to enforce its own laws, which now apparently is immoral.
So the Biden White House is going to pay criminals for committing crimes.
It’s almost impossible to believe that’s real, but it is real. According to The Journal, the administration plans to, quote: “Offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000.00 a person in compensation. The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million per family.”
A million dollars per family for illegal aliens at exactly the moment that American families are becoming noticeably poorer by the day.
You will be surprised to learn according to the paper that nearly a thousand reparations claims have already been filed. Why not? The total payout from all this, more than a billion dollars.
So how much is that exactly? Well, let’s see.
If you’re an American citizen who is killed in a war defending your country, our government promises to send your family $100,000. That is less than a quarter of what Joe Biden intends to give illegal aliens for the inconvenience of being deported. They are once again getting $450,000 a piece from your tax receipts. That’s more than some of the 9/11 victims got. It’s more than any ordinary American ever gets for anything from the U.S. government. Most people in this country, just give.
Foreigners with no respect for our laws or systems, meanwhile, are hitting the jackpot. So, take three steps back. You’ve got to wonder how long this sort of thing can continue. How long before the people who make this country run — who by the way, are not the same people who run this country, those are two very different groups — but before the people who make this country run, decide they have had enough, and they’re not going to take it anymore?
Why pay your taxes at this point? Seriously? It’s too insulting. It’s too destructive. It is evil.
Now, who knows how long it’s going to take to get there. But at this rate, it’s coming quick.
In the meantime, what can we know? Well, we can be certain how the rest of the world is going to see this announcement. Why wouldn’t you cross our border illegally at this point? You’d have to be insane not to. Joe Biden is literally paying people who do it.
So not surprisingly, as FOX’s Griff Jenkins just reported, new waves of illegal migrants are coming here as fast as they can.
Here’s one caravan.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
GRIFF JENKINS, FOX NEWS CHANNEL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Chanting “Liberty,” the caravan charges through a checkpoint as the Mexican National Guard stands by watching, the migrants undeterred by Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcello Ebrard who says they are being deceived by the organizers.
MARCELO EBRARD, MEXICAN FOREIGN MINISTER (through translator): They tell them, let’s go in the caravan. We get to the U.S. and they will let us pass. It’s not true.
You saw what happened with the Haitians. It’s the same thing.
JENKINS (voice-over): But the warning isn’t breaking the will of the migrants.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That’s not stopping us because we’ve got — we’ve got the power of God right next to us and he’s going to open.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That is not going to stop us. We are still proceeding. We will still be moving. It’s not going to stop us.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: We act like this is an act of God, we just can’t stop it. But that’s not what’s happening. The Biden administration is actively encouraging this. And more so even today, the legislative framework that Democrats released today would give amnesty to millions and millions of illegal aliens, the largest amnesty proposed in the history of this country.
The Center for American Progress, which is of course closely aligned with the Biden White House released an analysis of this and it concluded that nearly seven million illegal aliens living here would get green cards under this proposal. Specifically, it with legalize anyone here illegally, as long as that person could show he or she arrived in this country — follow this — between January 1, 1972 during the first Nixon administration and December 31, 2009, that’s the span of 47 years. Quite a strike zone.
But what you ask about the millions of illegals who’ve come here since 2000? Well, they’re fine, too, actually. The Biden administration has just put out a list of No Go Zones, not places that foreigners who break our laws can’t go, they can go anywhere, especially where you live, but a No Go Zone on for Federal officers who are trying to enforce those laws.
So ICE agents, according to the Biden White House are no longer allowed to enter schools, hospitals, healthcare facilities, places of worship, playgrounds, childcare centers, crisis centers, homeless centers, rehab facilities, food banks, disaster relief centers, funerals, parades, and many other places. Basically, they are not allowed anywhere.
So that’s it for immigration laws. They’re done. They’re totally ignored. They’re totally unenforced.
The question is the one that’s never asked by anybody is how exactly do American citizens benefit from these changes? Let’s see.
Here’s a recent report from the State of Florida.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (voice-over): When Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd discusses this horrific car crash that killed a five-year-old girl, the anger in his voice is hard to miss.
SHERIFF GRADY JUDD, POLK COUNTY, FLORIDA: Had he been in his home country last Saturday night, like he should have been, our five-year-old beautiful little girl would have been alive.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (voice-over): But instead, Ernesto Lopez Morales was driving down State Road 60 in Mulberry.
JUDD: He has been already drinking six 32 ounce beers by his own admission.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (voice-over): And the Sheriff says Lopez Morales was out buying more beer. We’re told his headlights are off. He was speeding and he slammed into the back of a Hyundai Elantra driven by a Plant City mother.
The impact crushed the back half of the Elantra including the back seat where the five-year-old was in her car seat.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: So here’s the point of that awful story, that man, Ernesto Lopez Morales should never have been here in the first place. He was here illegally like millions of others. He didn’t even have a driver’s license.
So after downing the equivalent of 16 regular-sized beers — 16 — he killed a five-year-old girl in a car crash.
So the question is, what will Joe Biden do about things like this? Well, nothing. We know that for certain because Biden has already announced that drunk driving is no longer grounds for deportation.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOE BIDEN (D), PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: You only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that’s committed and I don’t count drunk driving as a felony.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
CARLSON: “I don’t count drunk driving as a felony.” Well, that’s a big change. Oh, that only applies to people here illegally, not to you.
The Biden administration once again, is making this country poorer, more chaotic, and in many places much more dangerous. It’s not an accident. Of course, it’s being done on purpose. People who are close to it see it every day, James Chilton is close to it. Chilton is a fifth generation rancher from the State of Arizona.
His property abuts a five-mile stretch of the Mexican border. Ooh, woe to him, because over the last few months, his ranch has been transformed into something unrecognizable. His ranch is now covered with garbage dropped by people coming into this country. Illegal aliens fire weapons at Border Patrol officers as they head back and forth into Mexico.
So watching all this happen, watching his land be destroyed by foreigners, Chilton had an idea. So the Biden administration as you may have noticed, claims it cares deeply about the environment, about something called ecological justice, and this seemed in-just.
So Chilton called the Forest Service for help. Maybe they would save his patch of the environment from being poisoned and destroyed. But no, they didn’t. The Forest Service said they couldn’t come to Chilton’s ranch because the property was too dangerous to patrol. Federal agents can’t even go there. This is America.
The Biden administration's mind-boggling cash giveaway to illegal aliens
Aside from exploitative nonprofits and opportunistic politicians, very few Americans invited illegal aliens to break our immigration laws intentionally — their very first act in the United States. Indeed, many Americans have had negative interactions with illegals, examples of which we see on an almost daily basis. Just the other day, a drunk-driving illegal alien killed a five-year-old girl, and there are other stories of thefts, robberies, sexual assaults. There are very few things anyone can point to that would be considered a benefit to having them around.
Only crazed Democrats could find a way to excuse this. Of course, Joe Biden has almost erased our southern border in an act of petty vindictiveness against President Trump and law-abiding Americans. But they just had to rub more salt in the wound...
Thousands of migrant parents and children separated from each other at the U.S. border by Trump administration policies may soon be eligible for hundreds of thousands of dollars per person in compensation, according to three sources familiar with ongoing negotiations in a lawsuit brought on behalf of separated families.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Thursday that the Biden administration is in talks to offer separated migrant parents and children around $450,000 per person. That would mean that if a parent and a child were separated at the border, together they would be eligible for a combined payment of $900,000. The talks are part of negotiations between the Justice Department and lawyers representing the separated families in a number of tort cases that have claimed the families experienced harm when they were forcibly separated.
The Wall Street Journal has a few more pertinent details, most notably the fact that the "total potential payout could be $1 billion or more."
There's so much left unstated in Yahoo News's carefully neutral retelling of the Biden administration's plans to throw massive sums of money at illegal aliens. It's not as if these "families" were plucked from their obscure country of origin, dropped off on our border, and then captured by the Border Patrol, which cruelly split them up, leaving them oh, so traumatized.
These illegal aliens chose to come here, knowingly violating our sovereign border, and now will receive one giant pay-out equal to more than most Americans make in decades of work.
This proposed plan to reward illegal conduct will not bring us all together, as Joe Biden promised he would do. In fact, it will possibly make life in the United States for these illegals quite unpleasant — and that's not just because of the blatant unfairness of it all. Instead, it's because these illegal aliens would be rewarded with hard earned taxpayer dollars.
It's way too early to say, if the administration goes forward with this proposal, how these unjustly rewarded illegal aliens will spend this money, but it's a given that some of it will result in a windfall in remittances to Mexico and other Central American countries. Think, too, how the makeup of suburbs will be changed when Americans, hemorrhaging money because of inflation, are struggling to make mortgage payments while illegal aliens buy up a house in cash. Imagine the natural resentment while Americans try to make their car payments and illegals drive by in brand new cars of varying luxury.
(Watch for Tesla commercials in Spanish...)
This could get very ugly should illegal aliens start sending their children to expensive private schools. The elite would not want to see their tuition costs increased when bilingual classes, which presently are not needed, become a necessity. And if illegals receive a potential million dollars per household, they may just take a long break from their landscaping, construction, and nanny duties that would inconvenience those who presently take advantage of cheap labor (mostly affluent progressives).
In the long run, talk about a campaign talking point for Republicans. Most Americans have learned to live with illegal aliens, but this may be a bridge too far, as even American-born Latinos have a great disdain for illegal aliens. Blacks who've been blown off for reparations will really be ticked off at illegals and all those who've strung them along for decades.
Instead of assuring a Democrat majority for decades, handing billions over to people whining because the country they entered illegally didn't roll out the red carpet could have the opposite effect, with Americans everywhere looking for Democrat officeholders to punish. It will take a very long time for Democrats to be offered any kind of opportunity to redeem themselves, because this grotesque policy will be in the faces of Americans every day as a reminder.
As a bonus, here's Tucker Carlson's take on the matter:
Bob Parks writes at Black & Right/Black & Blonde Media.
The Biden doctrine: America's planned obsolescence
When Joe Biden ran for office, he did a good job of staying on message. He would be the antidote to Trump's "abnormal" presidency (never mind that the only abnormal thing was the leftist establishment's furious and often illegal efforts to oust him). Biden would be the calm, unifying leader. This was a lie. From his first day, Biden's goal has been to upend every American institution, every American value, and America itself. After nine months, it's clear that the Biden doctrine is the planned obsolescence of America.
Although less common now, "planned obsolescence" was a popular expression when I was growing up. It referred to the fact that corporations, rather than building things to last, built them to fail — that's the "planned obsolescence" — so that people would be forced to buy them over and over.
Trump's presidency was the antithesis of planned obsolescence. He improved American institutions so they would benefit all Americans now and in the future. It was right there in his campaign slogan: Make America Great Again.
From Day One, Trump created a roaring economy and a booming employment market, energy independence, a secure border, a strong military, a realignment of the lopsided relationship two decades of presidents had left us with China, stronger relationships with our allies, and the respect of our enemies — and that's just the short list.
Everything Biden has done has ripped apart those benefits, damaging the economy, our security, our social fabric, and the very idea of our nation itself. From his first day's "executive orders," Biden's intentionally caused unbelievable damage.
Biden instantly destroyed our energy independence along with thousands of jobs and seeded the inflation that bedevils us now — inflation helped along by his government's manic spending.
Biden's destroyed countless lives through his manic insistence that American businesses must force their employees to get vaccinated, forcing people into unemployment and wrecking our hospitals and first responders. It's ridiculous, considering that millions of Americans have natural immunity and that COVID has an extremely low mortality rate (that could be lower if doctors were allowed to treat patients before they become terminal). These aren't real vaccines that prevent people from giving or getting COVID, nor can they eliminate COVID, which incubates in animals, unlike smallpox or polio. The vaccines have significant and often deadly side-effects. And even as the administration is planning to foist vaccines on children, we have no idea about the vaccines' long-term effects.
Biden opened the border, flooding our nation with millions of unemployed, unvetted, often terribly sick people who have no knowledge of or respect for our institutions. Most plan to get the welfare and health care Biden promised. Nothing stops terrorists and serious criminals, including killers; rapists; pedophiles; and traffickers of women, children, and drugs. America receives no benefit from opening our border to impoverished, illiterate people from over 120 countries. To add insult to injury, while Americans are being destroyed over the vaccine mandate, illegal aliens need not be vaccinated.
Biden humiliated America with an unnecessarily disastrous pullout from Afghanistan that gave $85 billion in weapons to our enemy and unleashed the Taliban's medieval savagery on the Afghani people. Worse, Biden abandoned Americans and their allies and paved the way for thirteen of our troops to die and scores to be horribly maimed.
Biden's working hard to weaken our military by abandoning its all-important, colorblind meritocracy in favor of Critical Race Theory and the resulting racial hostility. He's also elevating the LGBT agenda to a matter of paramount importance, overshadowing the military's actual mission of defending America.
Biden's bought wholly into climate change, even though every prediction has failed, and the Earth's unfathomably complexity makes it impossible to predict the climate next year, let alone in the next decade. He's using climate policies to destroy the American economy. He's also ending the modern American lifestyle, one built on the mobility that comes with cars and the comfort and life-giving benefits of on-demand heating and cooling.
Biden's fixation on transgenderism is an Orwellian effort to force Americans to believe the unbelievable. He's destroying women's gains by forcing institutions to take mentally disturbed men and boys and let them run riot in women's and girls' domains, whether it's sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, or the right to be called the "first" woman achieving some goal.
And as with Trump's successes, that's just the short list of Biden's list of horribles. These are not accidental policies. He intends to break Americans and destroy the aggregation of every good thing that America has developed over the course of her 238 years, often at a tremendous cost of blood and gold. When Biden is done, America will be done, too. Operation Planned Obsolescence will have succeeded.
