Greg Murphy (R-NC) led a GOP letter condemning the Biden administration\u2019s reported move (emphasis original).\u201cPromising tens of thousands of dollars to those who unlawfully entered the United States would not only reward criminal behavior, but it would surely send a message to the world that our borders are open, and or rule of law will not be enforced. Compare this hefty compensation sum [$450,000] to the 2019 average median American household annual income of $68,703,\u201d the letter said. \u201cFurthermore, compare it to the maximum payout from a SGLI life insurance policy for military members, which is $400,000.\u00a0The idea that we would give illegal foreigners who broke the law a check that exceeds the amount that our government supplies to our valiant and heroic Gold Star Families is shameful, reprehensible, and morally indignant.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
