The Epoch Times President Joe Biden on Wednesday denied reports that his administration is planning to pay $450,000 to families of illegal aliens separated under the Trump administration.
“If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it’s not true,” Biden told a reporter who asked a question about the matter on Nov. 3. “That’s not going to happen.”
The Wall Street Journal cited anonymous sources in an article on Oct. 28 that claimed the Biden administration is planning payments as large as $1 million per family to resolve the lawsuits on behalf of the families that crossed the border illegally. According to that report, the government was looking to resolve 940 claims from such families for a total payout of about $1 billion.
