President Joe Biden is receiving a whole lot of flack Thursday evening after a report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that his administration was considering paying illegal immigrants who had been separated at the border under former President Donald Trump’s administration a whopping $450,000 per person.

“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 Wall Street Journal said in its report. “Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child.”

According to the report published by WSJ, these talks have come about “as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.”

Here are some of the comments from Republicans concerning this action via Daily Wire:

 

  • House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): “Pure insanity. The Biden administration is reportedly looking to pay $450,000 to illegal immigrants who knowingly broke the law. It’s a slap in the face to our law-abiding citizens who wake up, go to work, and pay their taxes.”

  • Donald Trump Jr.: “Holy S**t!!! The Democrats insane. You lost your business, your job, family members whose funerals you couldn’t attend. The IRS wants to audit you if you had $600 in your bank account the government gave you $2000, but if you’re inconvenienced coming here illegally $450,000 EACH!”

  • Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO): “Joe Biden wants to raise your taxes, but give $450,000 to illegal immigrants. Biden is putting America last.”

  • Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY): “Our southern border is already a crisis now. Just think what will happen when Joe Biden pays $450,000 to illegal immigrants who previously crossed the border. Joe Biden is pouring kerosene on an already raging fire.”

“Biden wants to pay illegal immigrants $450,000 for their hardship while breaking our laws. For perspective, if a service member is killed in action, their next of kin gets an insurance payment of $400,000. Let that sink in,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas, went on to say about Biden’s little idea.

Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas stated that the, “Biden Admin to American citizens: We want to monitor your every transaction to see where we can tax you more. Biden Admin to Illegals: Here’s $450k for breaking our laws and entering the U.S. illegally.”

“That’s quite the penalty to pay for illegally entering our country. Can you imagine the magnet that will create for more illegal immigration? Way to go Joe!” Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said.

“Joe Biden puts illegal immigrants above American citizens. RT if you agree → Illegal immigrants should not each be given $450,000 of U.S. taxpayer money,” Rep. Steve Scalise went on to say.

“The Biden Administration wants you to give $1 million to illegal immigrant families who broke the law. This is beyond open borders. It’s an assault on American sovereignty,” Sen. Tom Cotton from Arkansas commented.
