Nearly four dozen GOP congress members sent a letter to the Biden Administration’s various agency heads on Friday, demanding answers to a report that they are considering paying illegal immigrants who crossed the U.S. border illegally in 2018, $450,000 in compensation each.

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-N.C.) led 43 colleagues to seek answers from U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and Department of Justice’s Attorney General Merrick Garland about a recent report from the Wall Street Journal about the compensation plan.
