Biden continued to deny the payments would be as high as $450,000 but had 'no idea' what they would be 

 

President Joe Biden furiously defended a plan to send payments to families separated at the southern border Saturday, days after calling a report that the payments were as much as $450,000 'garbage.'

Biden was speaking at a press conference touting the passage of the $1.2trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill when he was asked about the payments. 

Fox News' David Spunt asked: 'You said last week, that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments was garbage.'

Biden interrupted: 'No I didn't say that, let's get it straight, you said everybody coming across the border gets $450,000.'

Biden then was forceful in saying he would try to get payments to those families, criticizing former President Donald Trump's border policy.

'If in fact, because of the outrageous behavior of the last administration, you coming across the border - whether it was legal or illegal.' 

Raising his voice into a yell, the president continued: 'And you lost your child, you lost your child, it's gone, you deserve some kind of compensation, no matter what the circumstance,' he said. 'What that will be, I have no idea.'

 

Just days ago, Biden called a report that the payments were as much as $450,000 'garbage.' 

 

Last week it was revealed that officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the payments that could total close to $1 million for two people within the same family, people familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal. 

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500 children separated from parents at the border during the course of the Trump-era policy. 

The total potential payout could cost $1 billion or more.
