WSJ - Biden ‘Perfectly Comfortable’ Paying Separated Families, White House Says
Spokeswoman says president’s denial a day ago referred to the size of payouts, not to payouts themselves
WASHINGTON—President Biden is “perfectly comfortable” with his administration paying immigrant families to resolve lawsuits alleging they suffered trauma from being separated after illegally crossing the Mexico border, a White House spokeswoman said Thursday, in a bid to clarify Mr. Biden’s comment a day earlier that such payouts weren’t going to happen.
“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,” spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said.
*******
Of course, this contradicts Brandon's OWN WORDS from yesterday:
Asked Wednesday by a reporter whether the prospect of the payments would encourage more migrants to try to cross into the U.S., Mr. Biden said, “If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it’s not true.” Golly Brandon, I would think that, if there is the prospect of ANY payment for illegally crossing the border, that would definitely be an encouragement.
Let's Go Brandon!
