Now Biden DEFENDS migrant compensation payments he called ‘garbage’ three days ago: Says families separated at border ‘deserve some kind of compensation’ but has ‘no idea’ if it will be as much as $450,000

• • Biden was speaking at a press conference touting the passage of the $1.2trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill when he was asked about the payments
  • Biden was forceful in saying he would try to get payments to those families, criticizing former President Donald Trump’s border policy.
  • ‘You deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance,’ he said of separated families. ‘What that will be, I have no idea’
  • Last week it was revealed that officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments
  • The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500 children separated from parents at the border
  • The total potential payout could cost $1 billion or more
