$450k Settlements To Undocumented Immigrants Separated At Border May Be Tax Free
Forbes ^ | 11/1/2021 | Robert W Wood

The Biden administration is reportedly considering payouts of $450,000 to each person separated from their family at the southern border. A Wall Street Journal report on the potential settlements sparked outrage from some, drawing comparisons to 9/11 compensation. If the settlements happen, the federal government would award money for claims that U.S. government policies left the border crossers with lasting psychological effects.

Since the deal would be per person and those crossing the border generally included a parent and child, the total per family could approach $1 million. Approximately 940 families have reportedly filed claims, but how many people will be eligible is not yet clear. The ACLU and others filed lawsuits alleging that thousands of children and parents impacted by the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy have mental health effects from the prolonged trauma.

Just to keep this in context, this Forbes article is dated November 1, a couple of days before Biden appeared to deny this was being considered.

White House backtracks and admits Biden WILL pay separated migrants after he called $450K proposal ‘garbage’ yesterday: President won’t dish out $450K but is ‘perfectly comfortable’ with ‘settlements’

What is to keep someone from suing for reparations and the DOJ settling for everyone with an agreeable judge?

first of all they are not immigrants, they are illegal aliens. The word immigrant means they are legal. The word is incorrectly used.

Secondly, what standing do they have to use the US judicial to sue the US government?

Placing the illegal under arrest and incarcerating them in a facility of adults that do not allow children thus requiring a separation is grounds for suits? Don’t tell the other criminals that are separated from their kids.

If they pull that off and there is not a genuine insurrection, then we may as well just march off to the gulag.

I think all settlements like this are tax free.

We need to all go down there and claim we were separated at the border too. If the POS in DC allow this wonder if the snowflakes and their moonbat parents will think.

“Placing the illegal under arrest and incarcerating them in a facility of adults that do not allow children thus requiring a separation is grounds for suits?”

It’s a way to shovel money back to Dem donors. The ACLU ain’t doing this for free. They’ll get the DOJ to pay their legal fees, too.

Anyone know what the original fed source/quote for the $450,000 settlement was? I assume it’s in the WSJ’s original story but it seems like its subscription.

And the heck with our military men and women who have lost their lives fighting for this nation their families only given pittance. But God forbid if you remove one child from illegals breaking our law and removing them from criminals who endangered that child away from those parents who made the track will be highly rewarded with half a million ... freaking incredible! I am angry and I’m fuming! What the hell do we have to do? elections seem to not scare the bastards they’re going to ram shit like this down our throat!
