As a result, <strong>settling with the families as a group could actually save the government, experts said, by sparing it the expense of fighting hundreds of legal cases one by one \u2014 and it could also spare the Biden administration<\/strong> the awkwardness of having to defend, in court, a policy that it disavowed. [Emphasis added]\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While seemingly coaching Biden on how best to handle the payouts to border crossers, the <em>Times<\/em> paints Republicans and conservatives as having \u201cerupted at the potential figure\u201d and even spotlight the initial government official who leaked the $450,000 figure to the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was leaked by a government official, apparently out of a desire to put a public spotlight on the payments and bring the number down, according to people familiar with the negotiations, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations,\u201d the <em>Times<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n<p>Though the <em>Times<\/em> attempts to portray the issue as being one solely of concern to Republicans in Washington, D.C., opinion polls have repeatedly shown that American adults, by majorities, oppose the payouts.<\/p>\n<p>About&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/21\/poll-over-6-in-10-americans-oppose-bidens-450k-for-border-crossers\/\">63 percent<\/a>&nbsp;of Americans told CBS News\/YouGov pollsters that they are opposed to the payouts, including 64 percent of swing voters, and even 4-in-10 voters who supported Biden against Trump in the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Polls from Rasmussen Reports and the&nbsp;National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) have shown&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/07\/poll-majority-oppose-bidens-450k-payouts-border-crossers\/\">similar results<\/a>&nbsp;wherein a majority of Americans, including likely&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/08\/poll-2-in-3-swing-voters-oppose-bidens-450k-payouts-to-border-crossers\/\">swing voters<\/a>, oppose the payouts.<\/p>\n<p>A Trafalgar Group poll from November <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/COSA-National-ImmigrationBorder-Full-Report.pdf\">revealed<\/a> that nearly 46 percent of Democrats oppose the payouts, as well as more than 88 percent of Republicans.
