The 2021 Covid-19 relief bill sends coronavirus stimulus checks to “mixed-status” families, those that include illegal migrant spouses and Americans.
Democrats, and even some GOP legislators, including Senator Marc Rubio (R-FL) and Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), pushed the expansion. CBS reported:
“Under the agreement, U.S. citizens and green card holders will be able to receive $600 in direct aid, even if they filed a joint tax return with an undocumented spouse, as well as additional $600 checks per dependent child, according to congressional aides and the text of the legislation.
The new compromise would also retroactively make mixed-status families eligible for the $1,200 per household and $500 per child checks allocated by the CARES Act, which was enacted in late March.”
In a statement, Rubio said, “no American should have been blocked from receiving federal assistance during a global pandemic because of who they married.” He continued, “I thank Senator Tillis and my other Senate colleagues for their leadership in getting this across the finish line.”
The Migration Policy Institute estimates the new measure will give stimulus checks to families with a total of roughly 3.7 million U.S.-born children and 1.4 million U.S. spouses. Roughly one-third live in California, one-sixth live in Texas, and one-thirteenth live in New York.
In previous emergency bills, funding for this measure was blocked because the family aid will be quietly shared with about nine million additional illegal aliens in mixed-status families.
This new spending bill also cuts funding for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, along with many other protections against the foreign economic migrants who lower Americans’ wages and increase rent for Americans.
Many business groups also back the spending measure because the stimulus checks will likely help pay for groceries, rent, and other expenses that would help businesses profit.
What ass holes
OH HELL NO! If you damned Republican traitors will be mixed in the democrat side showing all to see there isn’t spit between y’all!
If they married an illegal but they themselves are legal why has the illegal spouse not become legal?
Republican do not support the illegals, it’s the demorats get it right !
RINOs never miss an opportunity to screw conservatives. If they wish to join the opposition they should do so in name. Rubio for one has been wrong on every vote concerning people in this country illegally and I will never trust him to speak for me! Until we as voters begin to hold these traitors accountable they will continue to vote against common sense measures that are important to conservatives. Vote them out or pressure them to accept their blue stripe!
Illegal Aliens should not be given a stimulus check.
I support this! I DO NOT SUPPORT COVID19 FUNDS TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND NON ESSENTIAL VENUES SUCH AS THE KENNEDY CENTER AND OTHERS NOTED IN THE INITIAL BILL. TOO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES ARE IN NEED. OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS NEED TO REEVALUATE PRIORITIES AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY WHEN SPENDING TAX PAYER MONEY. THEY HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH REALITY AND THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Fake news never stop trying. Piglosi and her corrupt dems are the ones wanting.
Absolutely NOT! NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/ALIENS SHOULD GET A COTTONPICKING DIME. I’m getting to the point of telling the Republican leaders where they can stick the party! P S! THE DOLLAR AIN’T MORE THAN FORTY CENTS!
Maybe they need to DEFUND Congress and send their money to the illegals. They shouldnt have any problem with that since there seems to be plenty of money for everybody except the ones that are expected to pay for it.
Illigal Alians are not Americans!!!! They are Illigal….and should not be given anything!!!!
Drain out all the PORK and then distribute to suffering families, business, etc. Billions in PORK and $600.00 checks is disgusting.
No money to illegals. None. No expansion. Deport illegals.
No,no,no,only citizens,what the hell wrong with guys
Not only no but, hell no. I don’t want to give money to illegal immigrants. Deport them, I can barely take care of my own family. Try doing what the citizens wants for a change. I am not sure how the elected officials are making money off of this , but stop it. We can’t keeping paying for everyone
What is wrong with these people???? They’re here illegally????
Ship them back to their country of origin then they can’t vote for democrats anyway.
You Republicans should take care of the citizens who pay taxes that pay your salaries FIRST! You have not missed a paycheck since the pandemic hit our country. Millions of people have not had a paycheck in months. Does that not make you feel like the idiots who don’t really care about anyone but yourselves???? There probably is not one of you that is in Congress to serve the American citizens; ONLY YOURSELVES!! RIGHT????
two more Rinnos to be removed useless POS’s
And the National Republican Committee wonders why I refuse to donat one thin dime to them! Get your heads out of your asses!
This is not true. Illegals is not going to get any money.
They only can to America to receive free benefits.
We owe them nothing.
For ANYONE, particularly Republicans, to sponsor legislation which would award stimulus payments for illegal aliens is the epitome of political folly! The US Constitution is precisely that, the UNITED STATES Constitution, and illegal aliens along with other non citizens of dubious intent should NOT be eligible for such economic relief under this legislation! This country is in more than enough jeopardy in the face of an illegally- AND unlawfully-“elected”Biden (UGH!) administration! Perhaps I should have said, for reasons of political accuracy, the Harris (double UGH!) administration!
No stimulus for illegals, What is wrong with you people, we must take care of our own people who are suffering from business closing, people getting laid off!
The illegals have paid nothing in and have been living off us for free, getting benefits our own
PEOPLE DESERVE AND DONE GET!
Wake up congress, start working for AMERICA, we are the ones paying your salary you don’t earn!
It is our tax dollars and illegals do not pay taxes to the USA so no they shouldn’t get stimulouse money instead you need to give up more money to American Citizens and forget about giving our tax dollars or should i say an increased huge debt for us to placate your egos to other countries that have survived for years without our money tax dollars or OUR debt money to countries that done as always without our help! Makes me wonder what are you doing? Siphioning it from us under lies for other purposes of your own? Who do you think you are Pelosi and others power play pedestal? Wait til you get to the other side of life and see how the devil enjoys your politics in hell! He will see you there and he is real!!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE— YOU WANT THE STIMULUS MONEY TO GO TO THE ILLEGALS– REALLY??? THOSE PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS AND OTHERS LOST THEIR BUSINESS DUE TO ANTIFA AND THE BLM TERRORIST. THOSE PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH THEIR SAVINGS AND EVERYTHING SOME OF THEM HAVE EVEN BEEN KILLED OR WERE ATTACK WITH HOSPITAL BILLS. WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS . TELL ME HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THOSE PEOPLE. I’M SURE THERE IS PLENTY TO LOOK THEM UP AND SEE HOW THEY ARE DOING -SINCE IT IS CHRISTMAS. A GOOD WORD WOULD BE NICE THING TO GIVE THEM ————ARE YOU SO LACKING IN COMPASSION TO NOT HELP THEM. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I READ COMING OUT OF THE GOP.!!!!!
If not citizens and not payingtaxes no reason for them to get any further stimilating to take Uncle Sugar for any of our tax $
We need to just nuke DC. We’d lose a few good ones but get rid of THOUSANDS of LOSERS.
Why are Americans always getting the short end of the stick? We pay the taxes an all the other countries reap the benefits from it There is something seriously wrong with these so called politicains’ There is no reason illegals should receive diddly squat an congress should not get any raises they have done nothing for the last 4 years but think of ways to get President Trump out of the white house. Maybe if all Americans stood together an refuse to pay any taxes what so ever an congress was not getting their pay maybe something would be done..But tnen they would still be getting their kickbacks from China. We have a very corrupt government..They want to keep control of the entire world. I would say 8/10 of them are on the take from China an the other percent do nothing but sit with their thumb up their arse
i totally agree with my other american people i don’t think that it’s right for illegal immigrants or anyone who is not a citizen of the united states of america to get a stimulus check. we are citizens of america and if you’re not going to be a citizen of the united states of america go back home & stop trying to get money out of american citizens. what is wrong with congress? it’s not fair to the american citizens to give the illegal immigrants any money or help from the american people. this is america we shouldn’t be helping out other countries and illegal immigrants out! we should only be helping out the citizens of the united states of america! what is wrong with you people. we have helped so many other countries and what if we need their help do you really think that the other countries are going to help us when we really need it!?? i don’t think they will. so don’t pass the stimulus package unless it’s for us citizens. we can’t afford to pay for every one else including other countries. we need to help out our own country first. yes biden got in & he should be working for the american people & keep our walls up against illegal immigrants coming into our country and selling drugs and taking jobs away from american people. let them figure out how to manage on their own. we shouldn’t have to be bailing out all these other countries. we have our own country to take care of never mind every one else’s. we need to take care of our country and stop worrying about others. it’s just not right to do to the american people. the conovirus 19 stimulus package is to help the american people out & not to help out all of the other countries its supposed to be for america & that’s how it should be in the first place. what’s wrong with these people in congress? maybe we should take away their pay for a year and see how they like it and i bet they would change their minds about sending money out to other countries and to illegal immigrants. i bet then they wouldn’t be doing this . take away there pay for the entire year and see what happens. i bet then they’ll change their minds about sending money out to all these other countries and giving money out to illegal immigrants. it’s not the american way to do what they are doing. we as a country will go broke and then what will congress & the president do then when there’s no more money to help out the american people. will they give us some of their money to help americans out??? hell no. that’s why they keep getting richer and richer cuz we americans are paying for every one else & the other countries. but we as americans should fight back against congress and the president and tell them no way are we going along with this it’s not the american way. we need to look out for the american people only that’s what we need to do now and we can’t afford to help out other people and countries now we need the money & it’s supposed to be for the american people only. they should let us americans vote on it not just the president and congress we the american people should be able to vote it’s our money right??? am i right or wrong on what i’m saying?? please comment on what i’ve said?? if you agree say so? if you don’t say so you won’t hurt my feelings i’m just saying what i think is right. if you think i’m wrong just say so. don’t be close lipped about it if you have an opinion spit it out! this is america!
