Praying for divine intervention? Besieged Joe Biden goes to church as his administration considers sending cash payments to Central America to stop migrants flocking to the border
Biden attended Mass at the Church of the Holy Trinity in DC on Saturday
The same day, his Administration confirmed they were considering sending cash payments to Central America to help stem flow of migrants at the border
The proposal has been slammed by Republicans who say it is an insult to struggling American taxpayers
Biden has called for $4 billion in development aid to Central America over four years to address underlying causes of migration
He has come under harsh criticism for undoing Trump's border policies which has resulted in a surge of illegal immigration
Last month, 172,000 undocumented migrants were caught crossing into the country
Immigration facilities are currently overwhelmed; there are reports of migrant children going hungry and being sexually abuse inside the centers
