“Sue and Settle” Model Is How Biden Will Pay Illegal Immigrants And Open The Borders, And There May Be No Stopping It
Releasing information about the potential $450,000 payouts may well have been a ploy to distract Americans from the central purpose of the lawsuit – changing border policy into perpetuity. It was recently publicized that the Biden administration is negotiating a settlement of a lawsuit brought by a class of plaintiffs who, in 2018, were separated from their family members after being arrested for illegally crossing the southern border.
News reports revealed that Biden’s camp is offering $450,000 to each family that was separated. This could equate to over $1 million per family and over $1 billion overall.
While much of the public was justifiably outraged to learn that the government is considering paying such a vast sum of money to illegal migrants – especially since families who lose loved ones in military service only receive a death gratuity of $100,000 – the worst part about the settlement has nothing at all to do with the money.
It has to do with the fact that the left is using this lawsuit to set our nation’s border polices under a technique called “sue and settle.”
No Reason to SettleSince 1952, 8 USC Section 1325 of the United States Code has made it a federal crime for aliens to enter the United States “at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers” and to elude “examination or inspection by immigration officers.” This crime carries a penalty of imprisonment up to six months for the first offense, and up to two years for each subsequent one.
In plain English, that means that it’s a crime to sneak across the border.
