House Democrat's recently passed $3 trillion spending package provides more than $16 billion in “stimulus” payments to illegal immigrants.
The Democrat’s HEROES Act passed on Friday 208-199 with just one Republican, New York Rep. Peter King, voting for the bill.Another 23 members were not present.
“The bill includes a provision to provide retroactive stimulus payments to illegal immigrants who filed tax returns in 2018 or 2019 with tax ID numbers under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. It would also allow illegal immigrants with tax IDs to qualify for a second round of stimulus payments.
Many illegal immigrants apply for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) to file tax returns to the IRS in lieu of Social Security numbers. An ITIN does not permit legal work authorization. Some non-citizens who temporarily earned income in the U.S. are also eligible to apply for tax ID numbers if they were not issued a Social Security number by the U.S. government.”
President Trump has vowed to veto the bill & over in the senate Mitch McConnell says no way."
And the Democrat don’t stop with handouts for illegal immigrants, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says ““it’s really sickening that the Democrats are using this opportunity [the coronavirus pandemic] to enforce their socialism.”
He points out that the Democrats are using the pandemic as “an opportunity to restructure government.”He points out that their plan is “about prisoners, it’s about politicizing election law, prioritizing illegal immigrants and pensions.These are all things that are socialist wish lists that they've been trying to pass long before COVID ever came to this land and that's exactly what they are trying to do knowing that it will not go anywhere.”
