U.S. to settle lawsuit with migrant families separated under Trump, offering benefits and limiting separations
CBSJUL 2023
The Biden administration’s settlement with the migrant families separated under Trump is a step in the right direction as the US looks to close the page of a shameful chapter in its history. The Trump administration callously separated children from their parents without warning, doing irreparable harm to thousands of people. The Biden administration’s agreement will help them overcome this damage.
The Biden administration shows yet again that it will always side with illegal immigrants over the interests of the US. Not only does this settlement loosen restrictions on border control, but it also spends thousands of dollars as a reward for entering America illegally. While there can be a debate on Trump’s zero-tolerance policy, granting amnesty to illegal immigrants and paying for their housing is an outrage to the American taxpayer.
