That\u2019s \u2014 you\u2019re going to have to ask them that question.PETER DOOCY, FOX NEWS REPORTER: So your administration is negotiating cash payments for some illegal immigrants who were separated from family members under the last administration. Why give taxpayer money to people who broke federal law to get here?KARINE JEAN-PIERRE, DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY: You like this question, Peter.DOOCY: It\u2019s an important question. It\u2019s \u2014JEAN-PIERRE: We talked about \u2014 but we talked about this yesterday.DOOCY: But not to the heart of the point, which is that these people broke the law to come here and they are going to get hundreds of thousands \u2014JEAN-PIERRE: So \u2014DOOCY: \u2014 of dollars in taxpayer money.JEAN-PIERRE: A couple of things: I mean, I cannot speak to this from here. This is Department of Justice.DOOCY: And we asked them, and they said, \u201cNo comment.\u201d So we have to ask you.JEAN-PIERRE: Well, and I\u2019m telling you that this is in litigation. And so, you have to talk to the Department of Justice about this. This is not something that I can speak from here on the particulars or the specifics.But, you know, I said this to you yesterday, Peter: One of the things that we have to remember, what \u2014 why we\u2019re in this place that \u2014 where we are today is because we had an administration that had an inhumane, immoral policy that was taking babies away from their families, from their mothers.That\u2019s the \u2014 that was the policy of the last administration. That is why we are here today. And that\u2019s \u2014 you asking me this question \u2014 that I actually cannot answer because you got to go to Department of Justice to get the particulars.But just to be clear: This is \u2014 that\u2019s why this is happening today.DOOCY: Okay. So Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley have written a letter to the Attorney General. They say that, \u201cAny settlements to illegal aliens because they violated the law are wrong.\u201d Does the president agree with that or disagree with that?JEAN-PIERRE: So, yesterday, I addressed and I clarified the president\u2019s comments on the thinking on this, because you asked him a question and he answered it directly. But anything about the process, again, anything about the specifics or the particulars, I can\u2019t answer from here, behind this podium. So, you would have to go to the Department of Justice.DOOCY: Then, to internal White House processes: When the ACLU heard the president dismiss the idea of $450,000 payments the other day, the ACLU came out and they said, he \u201cmay not have been fully briefed about the actions of his very own Justice Department.\u201d So, is the president being kept out of the loop about immigration policymaking?JEAN-PIERRE: Again, Peter, the president was asked \u2014 you asked him a question \u2014 a direct question, and he was answering it. I cannot say any more than that.DOOCY: Okay, final one, then. There is a long line to get into this country legally. Is there any kind of discussion about giving people who are coming here the right way money?JEAN-PIERRE: Why would \u2014 I \u2014 why would we be giving people who are coming here the right way money?DOOCY: Why are you giving people who came here the wrong way money?JEAN-PIERRE: I mean, but I don\u2019t understand the question. What is \u2014 you\u2019re saying that we should give \u2014DOOCY: You\u2019re giving illegal immigrants \u2014JEAN-PIERRE: \u2014 we should give people just money who are coming through? I don\u2019t understand the question.DOOCY: You\u2019re giving people who immigrated here illegally money. You will.JEAN-PIERRE: Like I said \u2014 like I said, that\u2019s the Department of Justice. That\u2019s \u2014 you\u2019re going to have to ask them that question.DOOCY: Okay.
