Rep. Jack Bergman and 18 of his Republican House colleagues sent a letter to the Biden Administration condemning its plans for massive payouts to illegal immigrants and instead requesting compensation for Angel Families and other American victims of the federal government’s failure to enforce our Nation’s immigration laws.
Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported on the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ), Homeland Security (DHS), and Health and Human Services (HHS) considering payments of $450,000 per person, or close to $1 million per family, to those who illegally crossed the U.S. southern border and were being prosecuted under the law.
Such policies only incentivize increased border crossings and more instances of dangerous criminals being released into our local communities – and it is American citizens who pay the consequences.
Rep. Bergman and his colleagues condemned the administration’s plans and urged President Biden to instead compensate Americans harmed by these failed border policies.
Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime (AVIAC) President Don Rosenberg said, “Our families have been destroyed. We will never see our loved ones again, and if we speak out, we’re either ignored or called racists and white supremacists. Illegal aliens are legally separated from their children for a brief time, and they are rewarded with settlements in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is obscene.”
