Ron DeSantis Vows to Fight Back if Biden Follows Through Paying Illegal Immigrants Hundreds of Millions of Dollars For ‘Damages’

At a press conference today, Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis responded to reports that the Biden administration is contemplating paying illegal immigrants hundreds of millions of dollars for “damages” and he vowed to fight back if it happens.

Previously, we reported that families allegedly separated under the Trump administration, who came to the United States illegally, may get $450,000 each from the Biden administration.

DeSantis tweeted out a clip of a press conference that he held and said, “Paying illegal immigrants hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for ‘damages’ is a slap in the face to hardworking Americans and individuals who legally immigrated to our country.”

This is more money than most American families who follow the law even have after decades of hard work.

“If you think about it, Americans are getting more in their gas bills, they’re getting more in their grocery bills, you’ve had all kinds of really bad policies throughout our country that has limited freedom,” DeSantis explained.

“And you’re going to turn around for that and you’re going to do $475,000 for an individual that came illegally to this country?” DeSantis questioned

DeSantis then really dropped the hammer and said, “I’ve seen a lot in my day, I’ve seen a lot that’s happened over the last nine or ten months that I didn’t think I’d ever see, but this takes the cake.

“If that is done, that is going to be a slap in the face to every American who works hard and plays by the rules and it will especially a slap in the face to people that have immigrated legally to this country,” DeSantis pointed out.

DeSantis concluded, “That should not be allowed to stand. It’s wrong, and whatever we can do in Florida to fight back against it, we will do.”
