Prohibiting Federal Benefits and Citizenship for Illegal Immigrants Receiving Settlements

This bill aims to prevent individuals who unlawfully entered the United States and received a settlement payment from a lawsuit related to immigration law enforcement from receiving federal public benefits or becoming U.S. citizens. This means if someone entered the U.S. illegally and then received money from a court settlement, they would lose access to public assistance and the path to citizenship.
Key points
Individuals who unlawfully entered the U.S. and received a civil action settlement will be ineligible for federal public benefits.
These individuals will also be prohibited from naturalizing as U.S. citizens.
