As a practical matter, that would mean they\u2019d be able to live here forever, whatever the eventual outcome of their asylum cases.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration likewise has a clear agenda. It has shown over the past year a bedrock belief in the principle of unlimited immigration and only resorted to deporting a small share of the Haitians under that bridge in Texas because it feared the political fallout of the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> pictures. So it\u2019s unlikely to put up much of a defense in this case, and if it were to \u201close,\u201d it would be able to shift responsibility for the inevitable surge in Haitian arrivals by saying its hands were tied by the courts.<\/p>\n<p>But the motives of the third set of actors in this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> \u2014 the non-profit legal groups actually filing the lawsuit \u2014 are a mix of profit and policy.

That the Haitians weren\u2019t whipped, and the Border Patrol agents were simply holding reins of horses to prevent them from illegally crossing the border?

This is a somewhat different case, and no amounts are mentioned in the complaint, but the recent revelation that President Biden\u2019s Justice Department was in settlement talks to give $450,000 per illegal immigrant involved in the \u201czero-tolerance\u201d separations can give some context.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement talks, since abandoned because of the publicity, would have cost a total of at least $1 billion; assuming the one-third arrangement applied, that would have meant the anti-borders lawyers in that case raiding the US Treasury for $333 million in taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Numbers_game\"><\/span>Numbers game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t imagine that these \u201cnonprofit\u201d groups are above such considerations.

The anti-borders legal groups in this case, and in all others like it, should be required to disclose what percentage, if any, of a settlement they would get under the retention agreement with their clients. They also should be required to disclose annually how much in legal fees they have received from lawsuits against the government.<\/p>\n<p>In any normal situation, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court, but that didn\u2019t stop the Biden administration from offering $450,000 to each plaintiff in a similarly meritless case. Whatever happens in this case, American taxpayers should at least know how much they\u2019re having to pay to see their borders subverted.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mark Krikorian is executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.\u00a0<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
