My right ie folks

[snowybirdie]

have been sending me a story from WSJ yesterday about Biden wanting to give immigrants over $450,000 per family. Anyone know the genesis of this story? Got to have a good and true comeback for them.

1. I think there is talk

of compensating immigrant families who were separated at the border.

2. OPs on DU stated $450,000 per person?

3. It never would have happened

if the people who presented themselves to the authorities and asked for asylum were given the chance to apply, WHICH IS THEIR RIGHT UNDER U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Nor would it have happened if others, who weren't seeking asylum but just entered illegally, were treated according to international conventions about respecting people's dignity, keeping families together, and not incarcerating them under inhuman conditions.

Hey, if we don't want to pay damages, all we have to do is stop treating immigrants and refugees worse than animals.
