Yesterday, CTH noted the response from Joe Biden about his DHS, HHS and DOJ agreeing to pay illegal aliens restitution was clear and specific evidence Biden had no idea it was happening. {Go Deep} The question from Fox News was the first time Biden had ever heard about the issue.
The people who really run the Executive Branch never told the White House occupant anything about the agreement, because Biden is essentially irrelevant to what they do on a daily basis.
As a result, yesterday Joe Biden called the media reporting “garbage” and said “it’s not going to happen.” Today, the White House attempted damage control and spun the issue as if Joe Biden was just not aware of the settlement amount. The strained attempt to cover for the reality was evident in Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s response today from the podium. WATCH:
[Transcript] … “President Biden is calling these reports about the administration paying up to $450,000 to illegal immigrants who are separated from family members “garbage.” He says it’s not going to happen. But the ACLU says that it is. So, who is right?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Are you talking about the question you asked him yesterday?
Q Yes.
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, if it saves taxpayer dollars and puts the disastrous history of the previous administration’s use of zero tolerance and family separation behind us, the President is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government. You know, DOJ can obviously speak more to that process. The President was — what he was reacting to was the dollar figure that was mentioned — that you mentioned to him yesterday.
As press accounts today indicate — there’s been press accounts on this — DOJ made clear to the plaintiffs that the reported figures are higher than anywhere that a settlement can land.
Again, this is a — this is something that the Department of Justice can speak to. I do not have anything more to add to this.
Q But if it’s not — if he’s not okay with $450,000, how much money is he okay giving these illegal immigrants?
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: This is some- — again, Peter, this is something that the Department of Justice is going to handle. I just laid out what he was thinking and how this is — the process was moving forward. The DOJ will talk to the specifics of this.
Q And so what changed, then, from yesterday? You’re saying that he would be “perfectly comfortable” settling with these families who broke the law to come here, but, yesterday, he said, “That’s not going to happen.”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: First of all, let’s remember how we got here, how we got to a place where we’re dealing with families being separated. This is coming from the last administration’s cruel, inhuman, immoral — immoral policies against — against just people. It’s separating children from their families — 18-month-olds, 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds from their families.
That’s how we got here is because of the last administration. This is what we’re trying to deal with here in this administration. So, let’s be very clear of how we got here and what’s happening.
Anything else that you would like to know about this, again, I’ll — I’ll send you to the Department of Justice. I can’t speak to specifics — any more specifics on this. (read more)
Pardon my French, but you stupid beeootttcchh. Do you know how many blank or brown kids are separated from their families in this country? Thousands and they don’t get a dime.
This is the ‘introduction’ of reparations! Many of those black or brown kids will be lining up for their gimme next, to be followed by the other fringe groups.
This young woman is so full of rage,hate,lies and general mendacity it is impossible for me to comprehend. A complete tool. What an awful way to go thru life, you see no joy in that face.
I thought the Obama Administration separated the families in a cruel, inhuman, immoral — immoral policies against — against just people separating children from their families — 18-month-olds, 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds from their families.
I’m Confused.
Should be illegal. American citizens get nothing! Propaganda!
Let’s settle with them by putting them on buses back to Mexico…
Every day when I go home from work, I see empty busses heading towards the border coming from LA…I don’t even need to ask why.
Q And so what changed, then, from yesterday? You’re saying that he would be “perfectly comfortable” settling with these families who broke the law to come here, but, yesterday, he said, “That’s not going to happen.”
MS. JEAN-PIERRE: First of all, let’s remember how we got here, how we got to a place where we’re dealing with families being separated. This is coming from the last administration’s cruel, inhuman, immoral — immoral policies against — against just people. It’s separating children from their families — 18-month-olds, 2-year-olds, 5-year-olds from their families.
When you don’t have the answer to a difficult question that has been posed, try using deflection.
“Orange man bad” seems to be as useful as any other.
Yes. Who asked them to come here illegally?
And who sends children to a detention facility for adults who broke the law.
“Let’s remember how we got here” just as long as you dare not suggest progressive policies sparked and fueled this entire trainwreck.
Yes, ? ? Deflect and Obfuscate, Deflect and Obfuscate, Deflect and Obfuscare. Then you do the Hokey Pokey and turn yourself around. That’s what it’s all about. ?
When Doocy asked Bidet if that payment were true and if so, that it would attract a lot more “migrants,” the cadaver in chief say that it would, but that the report was not true and that it would never happen. So now we know that it is true. Anyone with a brain can foresee a FLOOD of these criminal invaders sending their children. By the way, could the ACLU be any greater enemy of the US?
Have you forgotten about the caravan (5000 or so) of “migrants” that overwhelmed the Mexican “Army”, just last week?
No doubt they’re being ferried by “deluxe motor coach” to our Southern Border as we speak.
Yes, and how many of them will be served Halal meals…..?
More than you would think.
Bravo Sierra, the illegal aliens calling themselves “separated families” have no case and no standing. Zero. There is no possible legal liability on behalf of the government. Nada. In a real courtroom the plaintiffs would have to dismiss or risk paying the DOJ’s attorney’s fees.
How is the DOJ authorized to give taxpayer money to ANYBODY!!!???? I thought only the thieves in congress could do that.
However, in today’s situational application of the law where the “right” thing to do is the decisive factor who knows what will happen in court, any court including the “supreme” court
There’s the flaw: real
They had a choice to turn around and go back to Mexico or wherever they came from. The question should be WHY the families were separated. Then you have an exposed migration system where children are being trafficked.
It never ends with these pigs
Ask this question..if YOU AMERICAN CITIZEN are are arrested for anything are YOU not subsequently separated from your family?
I just wonder if all of the spending — which will require more and larger taxation — is the means of extracting assets from middle class Americans so that they in the end will not able to own anything, including their homes.
Yes, Yes and YES.
Exactly, how ’bout the January 6 patriots in the DC jail with NO charges?
violation of habeas corpus.
No patriots there; all insurrectionists.
Yes, we need to make the super rich pay taxes. They are constantly extracting assets from the middle class.
The hamster wheel is in full force with these rodents! They climb on but they can’t get off the wheel. Orange man bad is all they have to hide their evil. No mention of abortion separating kids from their families. God help us!
C’mom man!!!!
Fellow treepers, we see tge BS. Some other Americans can see the BS. Now, we need the rest of our idiot countrymen to see it too.
In order to do that- beat them at their own game-
We need to FOIA request all documents that relate to the dividing of the money. Request names and citizenship of the plaintiffs, and demand full accounting documentation of who gets money, how much money they received, and this includes any outside organization getting money and dividing it up- we the people get to see where every single penny goes…
Of course, we try to stop it first but, the swamp will swamp and pass this BS.
Please donate to Judicial Watch. They are doing all this for us and more. They are constantly suing the government for FOIA records. Many times it is not as simple as requesting as they ignore the request.

This is what is known as an inflection point.
Are enough people infuriated that, in the least, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants will instantly become wealthier than most Americans?
How can any American be OK with this?
It’s unbelievable.
“How can any American be OK with this?”
I ask myself this question everyday.
Most of us are not but millions are.
Most of the people don’t know what the hell is going on. I bet if you ask your neighbors about this, half won’t even know what you are talking about. That is why they get away with this BS.
ost voters are either uninformed or misinformed. Read indoctrinated.
Printing money allows a government to get away with these schemes, at least for some time.
If every dollar spent had to come out of taxes, then they would actually be accountable for a dollar spent.
“I just laid out what he was thinking…..
and we will be informing him of what his thoughts are later today.”
I wonder how many people, even people on our side, realize just how far through the looking glass we are. The constitution does not envision, let alone provide remedy for this level of entrenched treason. “Throw the bastards out!” you say? We can change politicians every two years like baby diapers and the next one is going to be just as soiled as the last. Because the real power structure never changes. I can’t even imaging how many apples you’d have to throw out of the DoJ / FBI / CIA, etc. in order to save a handful of good apples. It must be as it was when God looked down upon Sodom.
May it have the same effect on him.
It seems as though we are in Sodom now.
The only cause for separation was an illegal activity, illegal entry to our country.
If a US citizen parent commits a crime, they will also be separated from their children.
It’s true for all parents who commit crimes.
If an American gets caught in Mexico without legal immigration paperwork you are deported immediately. No judge, no I didn’t know the law…DEPORTED NOW. Mexico will be the next America….WATCH.
Question…how do illegals have “standing” in a lawsuit against government policy but states have no “standing” in a lawsuit against illegal elections?
I question illegals having standing in a lawsuit against gov. Policy; but there were no illegal elections.
Brandon’s “Executive” branch has to know that these actions will cause an enormous, angry backlash across the board – all but the looniest of the left will condemn this. On its face its indefensible and insulting to every American. Its a suicide mission for anyone who has a hand in this.
They don’t really care right now. Give them another 3 years and this Country is totally destroyed, which is what they want.
Hey Democrats…..remember…..
NO MERCY
We are coming……
Another government agency making decisions without Courts and Congress?
This saves us money?
These immigrants first act in US was to commit a crime. All criminals are separated from family.
Sooooo, next time someone mugs you and is arrested, separated from family, are they owed monies?
The administration and their media apparatchiks are diverting attention from the facts:
Children were often being used as ‘covers’ so that non-related adults could PRETEND to be a “family unit” when illegally crossing our border.
At first, those so-called “Family Units” were extended special treatment out of concern for the safety and well being of those children. Later, as it became obvious that, in addition to being exploited, the children were sometimes victimized by the very people who claimed to be their parents. Some were neglected, others were assaulted, and still others were abused sexually, or even trafficked as sex workers or slave labor.
Make no bones about it. The Trump administration WASN’T trying to PUNISH people by separating families. They were trying to PROTECT those children from the horrors they were ALREADY ENDURING at the hands of their traffickers.
But, this is a “damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t ” situation. The ACLU would have found a reason to SUE the government no matter WHAT we did. Which is one VERY GOOD REASON why the “Remain in Mexico” policy was established.
Once they entered the country and we assumed control of them, certain legal boundaries were also crossed.
So while we work our ASSES off and pay Fed & State Income tax, Sales Tax, Cap Gaines Tax, Property Tax, ETC… These mother fu*kers want to give OUR hard earned money (gov’t does NOT have any money) to people who come to OUR country ILLEGALLY, and live here “rent free” with no consequences for breaking the law.. How is it we have not REVOLTED yet???!!!
Now *they* are mandating, as of Jan 2022, any business with 100+ employees must require vaxing… If not, an employee must be tested weekly and WEAR A MASK AND MAKE NOTE THEY ARE NOT VAXED… Can you say *yellow star*?!…
WTF, what is our hill to die on????
We have been vaccinated against measles, mumps, smallpox, polio and others. All of these were mandated.
I favor this mandate because it protects me from getting the virus from others. And if I get it, others are protected from me. I just lost a brother in-law and two friends from COVID-19. Neither were vaccinated. The brother in-law’s wife is vaccinated and she is fine.
It’s kind of like a stop light it protects us from killing each other because it is mandatory that we STOP !!
Karine, Karen, Caren -still the same, no matter how you spell it.
(Bet she gets a ride on Karine One after this performance.)
Remember all that ammo I told you to buy?
Remember how I told you that you’re gonna need it?
Don’t need a lot if you make every single one count….
BRAVO
Retired USMC: Just wondering if you have ever been in combat. If so, did every Bullet count ?☠️
No ammo needed. If major highways into big cities are disrupted to the point of traffic flow almost stopping every day by something like a sign hanging on an overpass saying “slow down if you oppose Biden” it is in effect a soft blockade.
AWM, if you have ever been in combat, heard the bullets whizzing by, smelled burning flesh of buddies next to you, saw body parts all around, maybe you wouldn’t be so eager to talk about buying ammo.
Just remember “they” have ammo too and they shoot back. Bullets don’t discriminate.
The fact that they’re felons and were separated from their children was to prove the kids weren’t being trafficked!
If these evil people in DC want to reward these felons with our money, while allowing our country to be invaded in Biblical proportions, then, just send them ALL back to their country of origin.
We have enough evil in the Swamp that is DC.
Border patrol stated (apologies, don’t recall the state) that one kid was trafficked 17 times across the border; coyotes rent them out for people to get over the border. Illegal is illegal; we are back to all the smuggling and trafficking of drugs and children, the politicians biggest pipeline of $$. This and vaxxing children needs to stop now…
This is all about creating a brand new class of people. lets call them the “Financially Stable Legal Aliens”.
Did you see how many Rs did not vote to table the infrastructure bill? 32 RINOs they could have stopped the infrastructure bill dead in its tracks. 32 f****** RINOs. KM needs to GO. I don’t think my comments are be posted
Wake up man, we need roads and bridges. I am tired of bad roads, pot holes and bad bridges. Our Republicans don’t seem to care. They have private planes and big yachts. I don’t care who builds them.
Don’t cut your nose off to spite your face.
This is all about creating a brand new class of people. let’s call them the “Financially Stable Legal Aliens of America”.
Compliments of our hard earned dollars!
Not one of the Biden people are worth a Darn. Not One!
Seems like a rational and logical way to end this …”illegal payout” is to Charge Biden and his accomplices with “Aiding and abetting an enemy or invader of the state…which is considered Treason”. Start the proceedings and watch it all fall apart and vaporize.
Joe is the same opportunistic, parasitic idiot he has always been. Before his installation into the White House he was a self a animated puppet and partially still is…but it is the people in his admin doing the damage. I would like so much to see bloggers, commentors, journalists etc start calling out those persons by name, tiitle and deed instead of the joejoejoe drumbeat…the man is a diversion from identifying the real problem…his administration.
Separating families goes back to at least Nixon’s time and was so there during Obama time.
“Lets be clear about how we got here” she says.
Yes, we are here because these illegal invaders broke our laws by coming here illegally.
Paying them is insane!
Let’s just pretend “parents” did not send their kids and babies with coyotes.
Let’s just pretend that there is no need for DNA testing or proof of family.
And most of all, let’s just pretend thousands of children— boys and girls— and women are not trafficked every year.
What are human trafficking numbers under President Trump and Installed Biden ? Why the change?
Paying illegals US Taxpayers dollars for breaking our laws is absurd, at best— evil intentions, at worst.
There really is an insurrection happening. However it has nothing to do with 1/6/21 and everything to do with 11/3/20 forward. Actually it probably started the same day President Trump came down the Trump Tower escalator. The foundational principles of our country, especially law and order, sovereignty and liberty are being eviscerated by this installed, globally sponsered regime.
Reminds me of Obama administration begging their donors to sue them so they could settle for millions and those millions would then “circle back” to Act Blue coffers. Racketeering made legal.
The Marxist DNC/media hate machine will just keep doing what it does, regardless of who the POTUS is and even if it’s a Republican POTUS. Arguing over whether Biden knew at all, lied about knowing, or just plain forgot that he knew is semantics.
If the illegals do get that much money the probability of criminal extertion and protection instances will skyrocket…envy is a powerful motivator.
Dang…extortion
In other words, “The Obiden administration is willing to pay whatever these leftist groups want because all our lawyers are busy covering up corruption and don’t oppose laundering taxpayer dollars through leftist groups and their lawyers. We also know that the actual family will get almost nothing.”
The governments position should be that allowing these families to stay in the US with temporary documentation is the best deal they will get. The families would likely accept that but the lawyers and greedy advocacy groups will push for maximum because they have willing corrupt bureaucrats on their side.
How many children of Border Patrol Agents killed in the line of duty were separated from their parent, spokesidiot?
This is BULLSHIT. Under the Clinton Administration the Flores Decision was passed. This was brought about by the ACLU concerning family separations. I don’t see anyone getting a dime.
Peter Doocy just asked Pierre . What about people that are waiting in line to come here legally? Are we going to give them money? Her response was , I don’t understand the question. Why would we give money to people that come here legally? He said because we are giving money to people that come illegally. You can’t make this S!”T up !
These people talk with forked tongue. It’s so disgusting I have to force myself to listen or read what they say. Satan is the father of lies, so what does that say about whom these people are serving?
I feel sorry for her having to create such obvious lies to cover for her incompetent boss. I suspect the dishonesty and lying that accompanies her every statement will lead to a serious eating disorder and that she will be tipping the scales at Loretta Lynch levels within a year.
It’s always enlightening to find out what Biden’s handlers tell us about what Biden was REALLY saying when he said the things that he actually said.
Let’s not forget too, that the parents in these cases were allowed to take their children and go home but it was their choice to leave the children with the government who was then tasked with finding relatives already in the U.S. Shame on the government, I guess, for losing track of children who their relatives immediately hid from the government until their parents could successfully gain unlawful entry an reunite.
Now let’s talk about those pictures of children in cages….
