    Analysis: Biden Proposal Could Turn Illegal Alien Families into Millionaires

    A plan being circulated by President Joe Biden’s administration to provide border crossers, subjected to former President Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy, with $450,000 reparations-style payouts has the potential to turn illegal alien families into millionaires seemingly overnight, a new analysis states.The Biden administration is weighing whether to provide border crossers — who were subjected to the Zero Tolerance policy — with $450,000 each as part of a payout in lawsuits filed. The plan could cost American taxpayers about $1 billion. Analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) notes that such a payout “could turn families that illegally crossed our borders into millionaires.” The FAIR analysis states:

    It is unconscionable that they plan to do so during a time when tens of millions of Americans are struggling economically, remain unemployed, or are underemployed due to a sluggish economic recovery from COVID-19, as well as growing supply chain and inflation issues.
    Meanwhile, the $450,000 for each border crosser is well above what Americans are rewarded when their loved ones die in combat, when they are wrongly convicted of a crime, or if they were victims of the September 11, 2001 Islamic terrorist attacks.

    The FAIR analysis details:

    $100,000 – The amount paid to the survivors of a U.S. armed service member who dies while on active duty. President Biden is proposing that taxpayers give immigration lawbreakers 4.5 times more money than is given to the survivors of those who pay the ultimate sacrifice. [Emphasis added]

    $400,000 – The maximum amount provided to the families of fallen military members who made payments into the Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance program. Even in a situation where servicemembers pay their own money into a benefits program, their families will receive less than what a single illegal alien would receive from the federal government should this settlement take effect. [Emphasis added]

    $50,000 – The amount paid to an individual who is wrongly imprisoned for one year at the federal level. Under this proposal, illegal aliens who did violate our laws would be given far more compensation than is provided to American citizens who were separated from their families for a year or more because of something they did not do. [Emphasis added]

    $389,825 – The average amount provided by the federal government to the survivors of law enforcement officers, firefighters, and other first responders who die in the line of duty. Again, this is a much lower amount than what would be provided to immigration lawbreakers under this Biden plan. In fact, some illegal alien families could receive more than twice that amount.
    [Emphasis added]

    $250,000 – The maximum “non-economic loss” amount paid to 9/11 victims who contracted cancer from the attack. The maximum non-economic loss amount paid to those who suffered ailments other than cancer is only $90,000. Also, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorney, some surviving families of individuals who died in the 9/11 attacks likely received less from the federal government than President Biden hopes to offer these illegal aliens. [Emphasis added]
    The FAIR analysis also notes various ways in which the federal funds proposed to pay to border crossers could be spent on American families. For instance, about 278,000 American children could receive a year’s worth of Medicaid with the funds proposed for border crossers. Likewise, the single $450,000 payout for one border crosser would feed 42 American families for an entire year and the total payout cost of $1 billion would provide homes to nearly 80,000 homeless Americans for a year.

    Similarly, the total cost of the $1 billion payouts to border crossers would forgive student debt for more than 27,000 American college students and graduates. As Breitbart News reported, a number of Republicans are railing against the proposal. Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance called it “civilizational suicide” while Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters suggested the funds go, instead, to the victims of last year’s riots and Americans permanently separated from their loved ones due to a surge in murders.

          According to Fred Economic data... the Real Median Household Income in the United States in 2020 was $67,521...



          So... for the average American family... it would take just under 15 years to earn the $1,000,000 that Biden just wants to handout to the illegal-alien “families”. Who says... crime doesn't pay? It sure does today in a country where right is now wrong... left is now right...up is now down... and now you can add... one doesn't pay for their crime... their crime now pays them.

              It's just amazing how different this dementia ridden POS is treated compared to Trump...

              Here's Lyin Biden delivering his message about reporters sending out garbage that's not true...



              Q: Mr. President: As you were leaving for your overseas trip, there were reports that were surfacing that your administration is planning to pay illegal immigrants who are separated from their families at the border up to $450,000 each, possibly a million dollars per family. Do you think that that might incentivize more people to come over illegally?

              A: If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it’s not true.

              Q: So, this is a garbage report?

              A: Yeah.

              Q: Okay. So, you —

              A: Four hundred and fifty — four hundred and fifty [thousand] dollars per person? Is that what you’re saying? ... That’s not going to happen.

              https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ly-week-later/
              And here's that low down POS flat out calling this reporter a liar for calling him on it and all the reporter does is say Ok...



              "Let's get it straight. You said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000. The number I was referring to."

              "Now here’s the thing," Biden said. "If, in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you were coming across the border, whether it was legal or illegal, and you lost your child. You lost your child, [your child] is gone, you deserve some kind of compensation! No matter what the circumstances."

              "What that will be? I have no idea."

              https://www.americanthinker.com/blog...pensation.html
              IMO... that reporter should of said... first off... don't try putting words in my mouth by telling me what the hell I said. I said... "This report about migrant families... not "everbody coming across the border" like you just made up in that corrupt delusional mind of yours... and just who in the hell do you think you're raising your voice and pointing at!!! Other reporters may let your condescending senile ass get away with that BS but I'll be damned if I will... so now... answer the damn question like it was actually asked... can you do that? Then... that reporter would of probably promptly received his walking papers when he got back to the office.

              We are told on a regular basis what we see with are own eyes and hear with our own ears is not true.This is the upside down world of the politicians and media these days. The politicians no longer fear the media and neither... the politicians or media fear "We the people" !!!

                    Biden’s Illegal-alien Flights Cost $340-plus Million and Reflect Obama’s “Seedling” Invasion

                    The flights touch down in the dead of night at a secondary airport, where and when, hopefully, few will notice. They’re part of an illegal human trafficking operation — run by the Biden administration and targeting many different states. The kicker is that you, taxpayer, are footing the bill for this nation-rending illegality to the tune $340-plus million. What’s more, this operation reflects what was allegedly occurring during the Barack Obama administration: the purposeful seeding of the United States with illegals to change our country’s demographics, move citizens “into the shadows,” and eliminate opposition to the leftist agenda.

                    Breitbart reported Tuesday on the costs of the Biden administration’s human trafficking after reviewing federal data on the matter. The site writes:

                    The data, obtained by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) following an inquiry to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), shows the extent to which Biden’s massive illegal immigration inflow into the U.S. is costing American taxpayers. From January 2021 to September 2021, for instance, the Biden administration spent at least $340 million transporting border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.

                    This figure, though, only applies to border crossers and illegal aliens whom DHS considers “detention-related transportation” and may not include the taxpayer money funneled to federal contractors and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who are facilitating illegal immigration.The Biden administration has been flying border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior for months. The operation, with the help of private companies and NGOs, flies border crossers and illegal aliens from the southern border to s
                    This is illegal, since U.S. law dictates that these aliens must be deported. But the Biden administration, while disgorging statements about “defending democracy” and Ukraine’s borders’ inviolability, apparently believes our laws are made to be broken. In fact, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — “the Cuban-born visa fraudster,” as The New American put it Tuesday — bluntly stated not long ago that merely crossing our border illegally will no longer be cause for deportation. But illegals had already gotten this message, which is why border “agents apprehended 1.73 million illegals last year — enough to populate Phoenix, Arizona,” TNA also writes. “Agents handled some 4,777 every day last year; 199 per hour.”

                    Of this number, approximately 530,000 illegals were released into our interior as of last year, according to Breitbart. But how can they provide identification — something demanded from Americans for anything and everything (except, sometimes, voting) — as is normally necessary to board airplanes? The feds have that covered. “All of the border crossers and illegal aliens used Department of Homeland Security (DHS) forms as their proof of identification, as Biden has allowed them to bypass standard TSA rules where American citizens must show photo identification to board commercial flights,” reported Breitbart in a January article. “Most shockingly, perhaps, the forms border crossers and illegal aliens are allowed to use as official forms of identification for TSA include arrest warrants, deportation orders, Notices to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, and federal custody booking records,” the site continued. Do you think you could get away with that, citizen?

                    As for evidence, below is a recently uncovered video of a planeload of illegals that landed in Westchester County Airport in New York.

                    https://youtu.be/1i8mHXulNm8

                    Note that a man involved in the operation, presumably a contractor, explained that the flights arrived at night because if their existence were widely revealed, citizens would know the “government is betraying the American people.” This isn’t new, either, as an October 2021 Fox News report (below) on the phenomenon evidences.

                    https://youtu.be/jlxfI6jM7dI

                    What follows is yet another report, also from October, concerning illegals being flown into Jacksonville, Florida.

                    https://youtu.be/uv8Eu6tBDz4

                    Yet this “redistribution”-of-the-illegals phenomenon goes back even further and is driven by truly malevolent intent, according to an April 2015 report by WCBM radio personality Sue Payne.

                    Here’s the story: In an interview with talk-show host Mark Levin, Payne said that while at an immigration rally, she became privy to three conference calls in which 16 Obama administration officials discussed plans for a radical demographic transformation of America designed to cement leftist dominance. And what did she hear? The new illegal aliens are “seedlings” that will develop a “country within a country,” is the secret Obama administration plan,” Payne asserted. These foreigners will “navigate, not assimilate,” as they eventually “take over the host,” come “out of the shadows” and push “the citizens into the shadows.” Don’t be surprised. Just consider the 2006 testimonial of Fredo Arias-King, ex-aide to former Mexican president-elect Vicente Fox, relating what he heard while meeting with 50 American legislators back in 1999 and 2000. He said that 45 of them — both Democrats and Republicans — knew that our current immigration regime had negative consequences, but didn’t care. For they believed that in a “new,” immigration-forged “United States, political uncertainty, demanding constituents, difficult elections, and accountability in general would ‘go away’ after tinkering with the People.” “I remember few instances when a legislator spoke well of his or her white constituents,” Arias-King also related. “One even called them ‘rednecks,’ and apologized to us on their behalf for their incorrect attitude on immigration. Most of them seemed to advocate changing the ethnic composition of the United States as an end in itself.”

                    It sure is an end — an end that ends opposition to the leftist agenda. And now you know the method to the (im)migration madness.

                      Biden Admin Hiding ‘Ghost Flights’ Scattering Illegal Migrants Around The Country

                      ‘The government knows. But they are being as opaque and ‘darkened-windows’ as they can be about the entire matter.’

                      After months of delay, the Department of Homeland Security replied late last month to a congressional demand for information about the number of illegal migrants the department has flown from border towns to communities around the country. In 2021, it said, 71,617 were dropped off in nearly 20 cities including locales as far from the Mexican border as Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. Immigration experts critical of the Biden administration’s permissive immigration policies believe those numbers are incomplete, especially regarding the most vulnerable migrants, those under 18, whom DHS classifies as “unaccompanied children.” The agency says some 40,000 of the total transported are such minors, but that number is only a fraction of the 147,000 “encounters” the agency reports having with unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border between January and October 2021.

                      Paramount among the questions raised by the transports is what happens to the unaccompanied children once they leave the airport? The major cities DHS lists, the experts say, are probably simply way stations rather than final destinations. “Everyone wants to know where they’re going, but nobody knows,” said Todd Bensman, a national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based think tank. “Well, somebody knows,” he adds. “The government knows. But they are being as opaque and ‘darkened-windows’ as they can be about the entire matter.” The lack of information raises a host of questions regarding the health and welfare of the children, and more:

                      * What security checks are being performed — and background checks to ensure these minors are going to safe homes? How can checks be conducted on family members in the U.S. illegally who wind up taking custody of the children (a problem highlighted in a 2019 study)?

                      * What processes are in place to ensure that these children have enough to eat, are receiving any necessary medical care, or are enrolled in school?

                      * What traumas or crimes have they suffered along the way, at the hands of human traffickers, for example, and how are the cases being handled? (Through a public records request, Judicial Watch last year obtained a list of 33 incidents of alleged sexual abuse in a one-month period in 2021.)

                      * What pandemic precautions have been taken, beyond masks seen in some furtively taken images of the transportees, by an administration that professes to be aggressively dedicated to eradicating COVID-19? (Illegal immigrants dispersed on commercial flights in 2021 were not tested for covid, and agencies did not follow preventive procedures, according to preliminary findings of a DHS Inspector General’s report reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.)

                      * Who is responsible for making sure the migrants, children in particular, check in with the government and show up for court immigration hearings?

                      The difficulty of getting answers from the Biden administration is frustrating many state and local officials who say that tracking the thousands of illegal immigrants apparently melting into their communities is a maddening endeavor. “The Biden administration is running a clandestine, covert, middle-of-the-night, special ops mission using the same tradecraft the military does in operations against foreign enemies,” said Larry Keefe, a senior policy adviser to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. “We don’t know what’s going on because the states are not designed to mount intelligence-gathering operations against our own government.”

                      The situation is complicated by the layers of groups involved. After a gumbo of federal agencies – CBP, DHS, DHHS, ICE, ORR – the government largely relies on nonprofit contractors to handle unaccompanied minors. While those groups present a rosy picture on their websites, it is unclear how they can handle what has proved a massive increase. In 2021, DHS shelters near the border and further inland took in 122,000 unaccompanied children, according to its figures, which shattered the previous record 69,000 in 2019. The unaccompanied children are but a portion of the illegal immigrants who flooded across the southern border in 2021. For the fiscal year ending last October, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 1.6 million “encounters” — an all-time record and four times the figure the previous year. Although the number of encounters does not equal the number of people who crossed, given that some are repeat offenders, the actual figures are even higher, because CBP does not release the number of “got-aways” it records.

                        • Re: Border Crisis

                          The (continuing) border crisis

                          THE (CONTINUING) BORDER CRISIS. These days the news is dominated by reporting on the Russian threat to Ukraine, by increasing fatigue with COVID restrictions across the United States, and by the continuing rise of inflation. All of those are indeed newsworthy, but another newsworthy subject — the mess on the U.S.-Mexico border — is receiving relatively little attention. Now, there's new word it's getting worse. Much worse. Fox News has obtained new figures that show border authorities encountered 153,941 illegal border-crossers in January. That is almost double the number from one year ago, in January 2021, when authorities encountered 78,414 crossers. And that 2021 figure was more than double the number from a year before that, in January 2020, when the number of illegal crossers encountered was 36,585. That's a bad trend — 2021 was double 2020, and 2022 was double 2021. And it is almost entirely explained by one factor: the arrival of Joe Biden in the White House, after having campaigned on promises to allow more illegal border-crossers to stay in the U.S.

                          The new numbers also show that the Biden administration is making good on that promise by ... allowing more illegal border-crossers to stay in the U.S. According to court papers cited by Fox, in January of this year, 62,573 migrants were released into the U.S. We know that in recent months, Biden administration officials have sometimes given those migrants notices to appear before a court at some point in the (often distant) future and sometimes told them simply to report to immigration authorities when they have time. In any event, initial admission is often tantamount to permanent admission because a relatively small number of those given entrance to the U.S. will end up leaving. You will not be surprised to learn that the Biden White House is not particularly interested in talking about all this. Indeed, officials appear to be dragging their feet on giving the public enough information to know what is happening. For example, at the end of each year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement releases its annual report on enforcement operations at the border and elsewhere. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the release has come each December for more than a decade; the last ICE report of the Trump administration was released on Dec. 23, 2020. By that schedule, the Biden administration ICE report should have been released sometime in December 2021. But now it is Feb. 17, 2022, and there has been no release. Here's a wild guess: It contains a lot of bad news for anyone who is concerned about border security.

                          In the coming days, there will be speculation about what, if anything, Biden might say about the border and immigration during his State of the Union speech on March 1. Certainly, the topic won't be near the top of Biden's priority list. He will undoubtedly devote a lot more time to COVID, about which he is hoping to tell the public that the country can move on from the pandemic after the wonderful job his administration has done. From a new ABC News report: "President Joe Biden is hoping to use his upcoming State of the Union address as a chance to nudge the pandemic into the nation's rear-view mirror." Maybe Biden can do that, and maybe he can't. But one issue that in no way can be nudged into the nation's rear-view mirror is border security. The public knows it is going badly. According to a Fox News poll last month, just 37% of those surveyed approve of Biden's handling of border security, versus 59% who disapprove. That is consistent with findings in other polls for the last year.

                          Biden's border failure has also helped define his party. When asked the question, "Which political party do you think would do a better job on border security?" just 40% of those surveyed by Fox said the Democratic Party, versus 56% who named the Republican Party. That 16-point GOP advantage is among the biggest leads Republicans have going into this year's midterm elections. Finally, Biden's mishandling of the border could damage the Democratic Party's standing with Hispanic voters for years to come. For a long time, Democrats have assumed that they will dominate elections by relying on a growing Hispanic population that votes overwhelmingly Democratic. But now, the party is losing Hispanic voters by the thousands. And part of the reason is Biden's border policy. A Dallas Morning News poll last September found that Biden's approval among Hispanics in Texas was just 35%, versus 54% disapproval, and that those Hispanic voters particularly disapproved of Biden's handling of the border.

                          It's no wonder the White House doesn't want to talk about it.

                              Let's talk about what you don't see....
                              Coming from as she said 160 countries. No talk about infections for they are exempt from vaccine as American’s are crushed. Fired from their jobs and instilled with fear.

                              Where are all these people coming across the Border? They are not hanging out on the street starving like Americans. They are clothed fed sheltered somewhere. Media coverage is basically dead. No investigation.

                              Where are the hero's? The push back? The republicans?

                              America is no longer under control of the People. Like deer in headlights they are silent, in denial. Look at everyone around you, concerned about everything but....
