Stimulus Package Would Dole Out Millions To Illegals
Rep. Tom Tancredo blasts this:
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) today criticized the tax package passed by the Tom Tancredo Democrat-controlled Congress as a giveaway to illegal aliens. The package, among other shortcomings, would direct the Internal Revenue Service to issue checks of up to $600 to individuals and $1,200 to married couples, as well as rebates for any children. The legislation does not, however, contain any provision barring illegal aliens from taking advantage of these benefits.
“This package will stimulate one thing for certain: more illegal immigration,” said Tancredo. “It’s just the latest unfortunate example of American workers footing the bill for illegal aliens.”
The bill would allow so-called “Resident Aliens” to receive rebate checks. The Treasury department classifies someone as a “Resident Alien” based on how much time that person has spent in the United States. No proof of legal presence, however, is required. The IRS’ explanation of the term can be found at here
“Worse, a large portion of this money will just be sent back to the home countries of illegal aliens,” concluded Tancredo. “So it might stimulate someone’s economy – just not ours.”
The bill was considered under a procedure in the House of Representatives that did not allow for any opportunity to amend the bill to restrict payments to illegal aliens.

So? The stimulus checks are meant to be spent on the economy. I’m sure that many migrant workers who, if true, get these checks would spend much of it on food, clothing, and everything else needed in day to day operations.
I love the how we Liberals can smell the fear and anger dripping off you conservatives regarding “illegals”.
LOL…

The kind of change you refer to SFL, is not inevitable.
And the good kind of change comes from within. Ponder that…

The checks are meant to help the US economy. Being wired to Mexico isn’t helping the US Economy.
