               $450,000 PER PERSON TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in actually complete outrage 
at the unbelievable consideration that the Biden administration is 
putting forward of--get this--awarding $450,000 per person to illegal 
immigrants that have broken our laws in this country.
  $450,000. How is it even rational that someone who took an illegal 
action in order to get to our soil, how can that lead to an outcome 
where the perpetrator would receive a $450,000 payday?
  There are American citizens whose families don't even make half a 
million dollars in 10 years. The President doesn't even make $450,000 a 
year.
  We have already seen that illegal immigrants use children basically 
as shields--not even their own children--to avoid deportation in order 
to come across the border.
  Democrats in Congress are trying their best to give illegal 
immigrants citizenship, and the White House wants to give them a very 
large check.
  When I see proposals like this, I have to ask: Whose side are they 
on? It certainly doesn't look like this administration is on the side 
of the hardworking American citizens who are trying to make ends meet, 
put their kids through school, pay their bills, when they hand out 
$450,000 checks to people who came here illegally.
