One of my goofy far right friends told me about this yesterday. I assumed this was just some BS story brought up by some right wing nut job radio host promoting his agenda. I cannot believe this is really a thing. Anyone that pushes this through should be arrested for theft. This is directly stealing from taxpaying citizens and giving it to illegals breaking our laws.
Again, I have no idea regarding the likelihood of winning/losing. But, for argument's sake, let's say the government's lawyers told the decision maker, "Probably a 90% chance we lose this case, and end up paying 3 times this settlement offer, not including the nine months of salary for all the lawyers involved." Not saying that's what happened or would happen, but would you advocate going to trial in that case?
Turns out the goofy Liberal was wrong and it was a Left Wing nut job governmental agency proposal.
I’m watching MSNBC right now. At at the start of the hour, it’s the number one story.CNN has 132 articles on its mobile home page - not one of them about this. Not one of them about immigration or the border in general. Tim - tell us again how the Liberal MSM is unbiased.
Right, I can't emphasize enough that I don't know if something like what I stated would or could happen. The OP asked for a defense. My hypothetical defense is "settling for $450K instead of losing the case for $1M" makes sense if the government thinks that is what would happen.
So the shark move is to start a business that charges $449,999 per person to escort them to a beautiful future in Canada?
No. That would be terrible, obviously. This country doesn’t work unless we have an open flow of people.
How does one go about getting their family back together when, some cases, they don't even know where their other family members are? I DO suspect, what you say is true for some, but it should be obvious that it's not true for all.
No it wouldn’t solve the problem. You can’t solve it that way because thousands of people are trying to get here and they will get here no matter how you “close” the border. If you build a wall they will climb over it or under it or walk around it. So long as the desire for human freedom is strong, so long as people yearn for a safe refuge for themselves and their families, so long as we are the New World and the land of hope and opportunity (the “shining city on the hill”, in Reagan’s immortal words), you will NEVER solve this problem. Because it’s not really a problem.
What is to defend? Aren't we suppose to pay our bills? Aren't we suppose to mitigate the risk to lower those bills?
They have become a party I can't recognize anymore. I was a Bill Clinton type liberal back in the 90's. Big fan. I'd vote liberal today if they stop catering to the far left and come back to the middle. Biden is not a centrist. At all.
The article states that this would cost a billion dollars. I think that having the horrors of our recent monstrous policy where "we the people" purposely harmed and traumatized children in hopes that we would create a disincentive for anyone to follow dragged out for years to come would cost much more than a billion dollars. The only fear of settling would be that this was distorted into creating a "come to the US for $450K" narrative. Lets not do that!
this whole administration Mostly the lies of Trump. His attacks on everything non Trump. Stop spreading the election lie. I didn't have problems with some of the policies. I believe our defense spending is to much, but I also believe our social programs are to much. Trump is a horrible human being. He traffics in division and hate. He's a conspiracy nut. I just don't like him or anyone who wants to act like him.
Gee Tim just a couple hours ago told me there was only one person who didn't like Trump's policies, or very little, but were instead more concerned about whether Trump was a nice guy. That sure didn't take too long.
You're right - they're not. The people affected in those are US citizens. So screw them. That's the very clear message from this administration from the get go.
Mean tweets!!
