Biden scratches head when asked about possible payments to illegal migrants
Fox News
President Biden ignored a question from Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy on Sunday regarding his administration's reported plan to pay $450,000 per person to illegal immigrants who had been separated from their families during the Trump administration.
Biden, who had been looking toward the camera while Doocy asked the question, responded by looking away and scratching his forehead.
The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday that the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments of $450,000 to family members who were separated after crossing the border illegally during the Trump administration.
The payments could amount to close to $1 million per family and $1 billion overall, though the Journal noted that many families would get smaller payouts.
