brb, going to go try cross the border and get separated from my family

---

---

when do the $2000 checks go out to the American citizens?

---

Fair next

---

All they need is a SSN to claim it

---

I mean they're just printing money at this point anyway, so why not.

Dang that's not bad money... especially in Mexico

I had my 20 children separated from me and they all got eaten by coyotes. Money please.

Shuuut da fuck up

---

Are they reuiniting those kids that were trafficked by the government to white families?

Or is 450k the going rate for legalized kidnapping?

---

They talked about how it wont fucking happen.

---

That sounds like a good way to get wiped out even more in the 2022 midterms.

Why work when you can cross the border illegally and get paid?

Future voting block. Democrats don't give a shit.

And Democrats wonder why Republicans keep saying they care more about illegals then actual Americans. This is why. To bad the rest of us can't get half a million dollars for breaking the law.

What the fuck about the rest of us who are struggling? You know, citizens who have been getting fucked over by the economic depression for years?

This shit is ridiculous. Sometimes I ask myself why Im not a democrat, and this is a prime example of why. This is the sort of thing that put Donald Trump in office in the first place. Do you really want to push it?

If our country doesnt have the money to set things right for citizens, then we shouldnt be throwing out these insane amounts of compensation money to illegal immigrants.

---

It would be nice if we could all get some relief but I'm not mad about victims of human rights violations getting compensated for the terror the American government subjected them to.

Yeah right

I'll take that as a no.

"What about meeeeee" is a pretty shitty way to live your life.

---

Also your galaxy brain take for some reason is blaming democrats when it's literally every single republican that's voting against improving the lives of the citizens.


---

man I wish talks about reparations for slavery happened as fast as talks for this did


---

Im sure theyve done the math and theres only a few people who can prove it. This is the government were talking about.

If they didn't illegally cross the border in the first place then this never would have happened. If you break into someone's house and injure yourself you aren't then entitled to money from them.

Your children also don't get kidnapped

Then maybe the parents shouldn't have put them in danger in the first place. It's also not kidnapping.

---

Seeking asylum is not illegal

Illegally taking away a child without the parent's consent?

Except they weren't. The parents broke the law and were going to jail so the kids obviously couldn't be sent to jail as well.

---

Wow, ZMythos is wigging out in this topic.

As everyone else agrees, they come here illegally. You dont reward people for committing crimes while the rule-abiding citizens go without.

---

Isn't this just a settlement to avoid going to trial? This isn't all that great lol

And by that I mean they should bring this to trial as they could probably get way more money.

Actually, you voting for him was the thing that put him in office

Americans can't even get the good infrastructure bill, so Biden might as well give the money to somebody. The Senate said you guys don't want it.

Payzmaykr's vote was the only one that mattered?

Neither is vetting those people.

Damn what a payday!!!!!!!$

Well this topic turned into a right-wing circle jerk real fucking quick.

No, he was put in office as a reactionary response to the insane shit that the left was pushing during the end of Obamas administration. This type of thing is going to give us another Donald Trump if we arent careful about it.

Not supporting giving vast quantities of money to illegal immigrants doesnt make you right-wing, by the way. Most people here are struggling, so you cant blame people for being outraged by this.

---

You work. You obey the law. They take money from you and give to those who don't work and break the law

Well think about it. Homelessness is at an all time high and rent/mortgages continue to become unaffordable for Americans working minimum wage jobs.
But then you have talks of giving half a million dollars to each immigrant family. So you are basically giving them a house while homeless or poor Americans stay fucked.
You dont see anything wrong with that? I mean, just because you lean left or right doesnt mean you should slurp everything your preferred politicians tell you.

This would be a much more impactful line if you didnt vote for trump

A lot of people are overlooking that this is a legal settlement

Strange how many people were in support of kidnapping children but get horrified on seeing the bill for it.

If you don't want to pay 450k to kidnapping victims, don't kidnap people lol

The first time. Like I said, he was elected as a reaction to the psycho leftist agendas that were being pushed. The guy lied about fixing dozens of problems and I supported him until he was in office for about a month. Once he made his presidential appointments, I realized that he was nothing more than a snake oil salesman.

We are overpopulated and there isnt enough work and money to go around. Hillary was promising to bring in tens of thousands of immigrant workers. Its really no surprise that about half the country supported him. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

You don't take away their children, and you also fail to mention asylum seekers, which are 100% legal.

Tell yourself whatever you want. Asylum is for people being religiously persecuted or being persecuted for being lgbt abroad. These people were foreign workers who wanted American jobs and social benefits, and you know it.

We have immigration laws for a reason and this is it. They. Still. Entered. Illegally.

Hey man you keep moving those goalposts and they'll be in the pacific ocean before you know it.

It's a much broader category than that

This is coming from the guy frantically hitting refresh and responding to everyone. Admit it, your opinion is in the minority. Most people are disagreeing with you because youre incorrect.
