U.S. in Talks to Pay Hundreds of Millions to Families Separated at Border

Y'all seem to be mad at me for stating the obvious: if they win their case in court they are going to get paid. What are dems able to do to stop this?
I ain't mad at you. Just thought you were wrong. At the subject matter? I'm pissed. Shit is fucking ridiculous.

Can't Biden just put them illegals on the plane like he did the Haitians? :eek:

Makes no sense...
The social media person in the Biden administration should be fired

They wait until after the election to mention this?? :smh:

This 'story' was posted here about 2 weeks ago. No doubt repeated over and over by Tucker/Hannity and other Foxnews idiots.

How many independents voted for Youngkin over this non-story?
McAuliffe/Youngkin were basically tied before this.

How many independents voted as well as how many Black people said "fuck this shit" and didn't vote or voted 3rd party!

Dems mistakenly thought this would help them with the Latino vote. That's really what it was.

What's up with Virginia’s Latino vote?

The U.S. government ended negotiations over monetary compensation for migrant families who were separated near the southern border during the Trump administration, the Justice Department and lawyers representing the families said Thursday.

The families' lawyers said Justice Department attorneys informed them that the government would no longer work with them to settle lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children seeking damages over the border separations.

Thursday's decision by the Biden administration, which has forcefully denounced the Trump-era separations, comes after Republican lawmakers expressed outrage over reports that some families could have received hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of a potential settlement.


"It would be an understatement to say we are disappointed that the Biden administration allowed politics to get in the way of helping the little children deliberately abused by our government," Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who represents separated families, told CBS News.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is leading a task force to reunite some migrant families who remain separated, directed questions about the talks' collapse to the Justice Department.


"While the parties have been unable to reach a global settlement agreement at this time, we remain committed to engaging with the plaintiffs and to bringing justice to the victims of this abhorrent policy," the Justice Department said in a statement.

Nonprofit lawyers have argued the families are eligible for monetary damages because of the psychological trauma caused by the separations. A recent qualitative study by a group of clinicians found that separated families showed signs of severe psychological distress.

"Families should be consulted regarding the most appropriate means of reparation, including but not limited to a formal apology by the U.S. government, a pathway to permanent legal residence, monetary damages and prosecution of the officials who implemented this policy," the clinicians wrote in their report.

Earlier this year, the Biden administration discussed offering migrant families who had been separated $450,000 in compensation per person as part of negotiations to establish a framework to settle more than a dozen cases, a person familiar with the talks told CBS News.


The $450,000 amount, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal in October, was one of several figures considered during the talks and was never fully approved, the person said.

Lawyers representing the families seeking damages said they will now return to court to try to get relief for their clients.

"We are extremely disappointed that the negotiations have terminated and that the administration is walking away from its campaign promise to provide families with some measure of justice," Trina Realmuto, a lawyer with the National Immigration Litigation Alliance, told CBS News. "We will be moving forward with our litigation."

After the potential compensations were reported publicly, Republicans urged the Biden administration to refrain from making the payments, arguing that they would incentivize illegal immigration. Lawmakers even introduced bills to thwart the potential settlements.

"It's plain unacceptable to consider payments of hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to people who violated our laws," Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, said in a November statement.

The criticism from Republicans appeared to affect the administration's plans. During a press conference in early November, President Biden called the reports about the potential payments "garbage."

"$450,000 per person? Is that what you're saying?" Mr. Biden said. "That's not going to happen."


The White House then issued a clarification, saying the president was "perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families" if it saved taxpayer money and put "the disastrous history of the previous administration's use of zero tolerance and family separation behind us."

The Trump administration separated more than 5,000 migrant children from their parents until a court ruling and public outcry forced officials to abandon the mass separations in the summer of 2018. Hundreds of families were subsequently reunited under a court order. But many parents were deported without their children.

Soon after taking office, Mr. Biden set up a task force to reunite families who remained separated. So far, the task force has facilitated the U.S.-based reunifications of 86 families and has identified more than 300 children who are eligible to be reunited with their parents, according to DHS figures.

"The Task Force will continue its day-to-day operations and remains focused on reunifications," DHS said in a statement Thursday.

White people close up shop and leave a bad spot, yet we can't do the same thing without them getting upset. It isn't organized retail theft, but it is far worse.

It is a time to reflect and fix your shit, not chase me around spewing something I did 10 years ago that is old, when I am on the 6th generation. I don't understand their delusion that people are seeking them out like these migrants.
 
According to BGOL logic,
NO!

"thats not how govt works"
"its the best they can do"
"stop asking for shit that only benefits Black people"
Only a devil can create a devil and only a God can create a God. If all we can do is become successful devil. The thing with Israel is showing the world we did what we did to blacks because they deserve it. But only white people can represent civilization and how we were created. Truth would tear this country apart because it was built on murder and deceit. And the same thing these devils did to take the earth is the same thing they keep doing to keep it.
 
The article says nothing about wanting to give immigrants the money. The government is being sued and if they lose ( which they most likely will not) They would have to pay that amount.
They killed Johnnie Cochran. What makes people think the devil has changed? Black people are about to go down in history as the most foolish people that ever lived. We support white ideas, white values, fight in their wars to build white power, pay taxes for more white control and white visions.

Never looked at it like that but is a good alternate view of things.

I've never had $450k in the bank, but I'm sure that would get me some extra cheese on my cheeseburger.

These people will be in a way different tax bracket. Along with many being extorted by cartel or that money going right back to family in Mexico. From your pocket.
The way houses, land and rent has been jacked up these devils are seriously looking out for devils only right now

I think they sent a lot of those Haitians back knowing that some of them would be killed.
 
Regardless of your opinions about the border situation, what Trump did was very very wrong send them back, but don’t separate the children from the adults (parents) this was similar to some Hitler bullshit.

Man in Rwanda they killed parents right in front of their kids and then killed the kids. The whole world turned their backs on Rwanda because they were poor barefoot blacks. No importance in this white man's dream or empire. And that is what the genocide was about. The Christian Democratic International told the Hutu's that the Tutsi's were an enemy to the empire of God and to kill all them babies and all. The backbone of the genocide was the interahamwe was a christian youth group. But the christian democratic international ordered the hit. Some of these white power countries made sure no one stopped this genocide from happening.
After the CIA brought tons of dope into America and pushed it into the black communities. They did more than separate families. And it was at a time when we were waking up from strong brainwashing.
They may one day use them same kids as a Zimmerman in order to show their praise.
