On Tuesday, 146 GOP lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the Illegal Immigrant Payoff Prohibition Act of 2021, to prevent the U.S. attorney general from making settlement payments to individuals and families who entered the United States illegally. The bill comes in response to reports that the Biden Administration “is planning to pay illegal immigrants who were separated from their families at the border up to $450,000 each, possibly a million dollars per family.”
While Biden emphatically denied the payment reports, his deputy press secretary later contradicted him by confirming to Fox News that “the President is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with the individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government.” Meanwhile, the GOP is taking no chances.
Congressman Tom McClintock (CA-04), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship, introduced the bill. House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (OH-04) are the principal co-sponsors.
