With a victory over the Biden administration. They forced the current administration to cave on the awards to migrant families at the border. They are going to celebrate, if they havent done so. They've earned it.
The Biden administration has decided that it is their best interest to pull out of the settlement negotiations with those families at the border. The reason Biden is doing this is Republicans succeeded in making Biden's position untenable. Making those payments to the families was going to cost him. So the current administration backed out of the settlement negotiations. Republicans are jubilant; they have won and they have. It was their goal to stop the settlements. I honestly feel, believe Biden was wrong to pull out of it. What happens next???? If you are still running your victory lap its time to hit the brakes. The cases will now go to trial. And more than likely some criminal actions may be uncovered. But what this ensures is HEADLINES for years to come. The talk will be about the families mistreatment under the Trump administration. All because of numerous court cases that couldve been solved. Speaking of which: do we know the purpose of a settlement? The reason the govt is willing to settle is because it cant win in court. What happened, it happened. Trump bragged about it, it happened, it occurred. They cant win. The purpose of a settlement is to avoid further embarrassment and to get the families to accept less money than they would get if they went to trial. That is not going to happen. The families will go trial and will be awarded more than the $400,000 payments Republicans were freaking out about.
This way Biden doesnt take the hit. I dont feel this was a noble gesture by Biden. He didnt want to take the political hit and felt the courts will decide and figured the families are going to get more money anyway. I honestly feel these families want to get on with their lives. I dont think they want to spend the next year in court. It does appear at the moment that is whats going to happen.
Republicans won by ensuring that families that were separated at the border will be paid more and there will be constant public discussion of the treatment the families received; probably not what they planned. This is the danger of Bumper Sticker Politics. This is the danger of repeating sound bytes over and over again. I do believe, all jokes aside, Biden is wrong to cave on this. The families want to get on with their lives and the DOJ should resume negotiations and it might be wise to get out there and explain to the American people why the settlement negotiations are occurring. The reason: We cant win in court. I understand its not a good legal strategy because if it goes to court its already been said but the reality is the govt cant win in court on this matter.
Compensations will be made; its a matter of time and how much. If the families have a desire to settle its because they want to get on with their lives. The govt should let them do that
