Joe Biden is not in charge and has no idea who is. Last week it was reported that the Biden Administration was going to offer $450,000 each to illegal alien families separated at the border. Biden was asked about this yesterday and called it “garbage.” Today the White House corrected Joe and confirmed the administration is indeed going to pay illegal aliens.
After the reported $450,000 payments to illegal aliens came out, Fox’s Peter Doocy asked Joe about it:

“As you were leaving for your overseas trip, there were reports that that were surfacing that your 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. Do you think that might incentivize more people to come over illegally?” Doocy asked.
“If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it’s not true,” Biden said.
“So this was a garbage report?” Doocy followed up.
“Yeah,” Biden replied. “That’s not gonna happen.”
The ACLU, who is in negotiations with the Justice Department over payments to illegal aliens, totally busted Biden’s “garbage” and “not going to happen” remarks.
“President Biden may not have been fully briefed about the actions of his very own Justice Department as it carefully deliberated and considered the crimes committed against thousands of families separated from their children as an intentional governmental policy,” said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero.
Today, Doocy followed up on this by asking White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who was lying, Biden or the ACLU?

“President Biden is calling these reports about the administration paying up to $450,000 to illegal immigrants who were separated from their family members ‘garbage.’ He says it’s ‘not going to happen’ but the ACLU says that it is, so who is right?” Doocy asked.
“If it saves taxpayer dollars and puts the disastrous history of the previous administration’s use of zero tolerance and family separation behind us, the president is perfectly comfortable with the Department of Justice settling with individuals and families who are currently in litigation with the U.S. government,” said Jean-Pierre.
Oh, so it’s not garbage and it is going to happen? Also, why didn’t Biden know this yesterday?
Jean-Pierre went on to explain that Biden didn’t say the reports of payments were garbage, just that the dollar amount was. That’s not what anyone who watched what he said would take away from it, but the bottom line is, the Biden administration fully intends to pay illegal aliens for breaking our immigration laws. The figure might not be $450,000 per criminal, it could be $449,999.
Democrats are good at creating problems but not very good at solving them. Luckily, Republican Senator Ted Cruz has a solution that everyone can live with:
So @JoeBiden wants to give $450k to every illegal immigrant.
And Hunter Biden paintings “sell” for $500k each.
Perfect solution: give a Hunter Biden painting to every illegal immigrant.
A Win-Win! 😎

The only flaw I see in this plan is that Hunter Biden might be too busy smoking crack and banging hookers to make enough paintings to pay off the illegal aliens.
This episode points to a bigger question that many people have: Who the f*ck in running this country? Yesterday, Joe Biden had no idea that his administration was planning on paying off illegal aliens. This is not some minute detail in a change of office procedures at the Department of Who Gives A Shit. This is a major policy that involves potentially billions of dollars. If he didn’t know about it, who’s in charge?
