Government is considering payments of $450,000 per person affected by Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy in 2018

WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.

The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to a million per family, though the final numbers could shift

Nothing cures “ lasting psychological damage “ quicker than 1/2 a million dollars.

Why on earth do we owe a single dime to illegal criminal invaders? Don’t want to be separated from your family? Stay the hell in your home country! This is one of the most ridiculous Dimmocommie cooked up insane proposals I’ve heard yet. Anything to take more and more money from hardworking citizens and give it away to deadbeat illiterate disease-carrying liabilities.

“These settlements will cause irreversible psychological damage to me.”

I am quite certain our Zombie/Commie overlords will rethink their position once they realize your Psyche is compromised.

Lifetime of paying taxes, following laws, trying to contribute to society... got a surprise tax bill a few months ago. When my kid went to his freshman year in college this year - no freebies for him.

Illegals getting $450K for nothing.. uh, NO.

Not that it matters much, but I don’t understand how paying out hundreds of millions of dollars is legal for Executive Brach to even consider.

My mom left me at a grocery store once when I was a kid. What do you all think that might be worth?

Depending on your current age, that could be decades of interest.

If this is approved, I suggest we go ahead and pay them the $450,000 in cash to each family member. Army duffle bag should hold it. They sign receipt, are put on an airplane for home and we make damn sure we televise each departure and announce arrival times in home country. After the first few days, I doubt many will come forward to claim this money. And I am sure the government/gangs in home country will relieve them of their heavy burden. Maybe even their ability to breath.

"These settlements will cause irreversible psychological damage to me."

We call them names, those lawyers in DC.. Stupid fools, idiots, crazy politicians and such as that.. But, they're none of that. Our enemy is wise, cleaver in every way and knows exactly what their doing..

Their plan is completely obvious to anyone paying just half attention to their actions.. They are going to bring this once wonderful nation to its knees.. It's going to make the thirties look like a day at the park...

If those of us who call themselves democrats in this nation don't wake (NOT woke) the hell up and come to the realization that they TOO are Americans (maybe) who must live, work and eat in this country, then the ONLY possible result to what the politicians are doing to us is violence on a grand scale.. I would hope so anyway...

And I think they KNOW that to be the case as well.. I really believe those nearly Two Million people that have come across southern border in the past year are the socialist army we will need to face.. It's all been planed, with the malice of forethought by our own damned government.!!

That's my opinion and I'm ssssssticken to it :(
