Earlier this week, President Biden was asked about a Wall Street Journal report about illegal immigrants who were separated at the border being paid $450,000 per person. Biden called the story “garbage” and said “that’s not gonna happen”:

As it turns out, the story is not garbage, and during his infrastructure bill victory lap this morning Biden was again asked about it. Suffice to say, Biden was angered by the question and then went on to blame “the previous administration”:
Joe Biden to illegal immigrants separated by Trump:
"You deserve some kind of compensation no matter what the circumstances.”

Geez, somebody struck a nerve!
Biden basically approves of the $450k payment for those separated illegal immigrant families.
At least we now know he was wrong before.

Did Biden even know he was wrong before? Predictably the Biden spin was that the specific amount of $450,000 was “not gonna happen,” so it could be more or less.
They put their kids in their predicament. It the PARENTS FAULT.
