Democrats on Friday introduced a measure to amend the $2 trillion CARES Act, extending the cash payment benefit to non-citizens, including illegal aliens.
Three House Democrats, Reps. Lou Correa (CA), Judy Chu (CA), and Raúl Grijalva (AZ), introduced the Leave No Taxpayer Behind Act designed to amend the cash payment portion of the CARES Act the $2 trillion emergency economic relief measure designed to help U.S. citizens who are facing economic hardship caused by the coronavirus pandemic to extend to non-citizens.
Currently, the CARES Act requires recipients to have a Social Security number. ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers) taxpayers, which include foreign nationals and those residing in the country illegally, are not eligible and will not receive cash assistance. That is an egregious error, according to the Democrats press release.
The Leave No Taxpayer Behind Act amends the CAREs Act to ensure that all taxpayers are eligible for their $1,200 relief check, the release states:
Every individual taxpayer irrespective of citizenship status should receive government assistance. With more than 140,000 coronavirus cases in the United States, it is imperative we come together. This pandemic has led to the closure of many small businesses, which will have a disproportionate impact on immigrants. The Leave No Taxpayer Behind Act will ensure immigrants critical to our economy are not forgotten.
I was appalled to learn hardworking, taxpaying immigrants were left out of the $2 trillion CARES Act, Correa said in a statement:
These taxpayers work in critical sectors of our economy, like agriculture, and contribute greatly to our country. While many of us sit at home, these hardworking immigrants are still at work in our hospitals, our fields, and countless other industries...

me too. I honestly hate any person who keeps voting for the far left , socialist, ignorant American party today.
In the end they are nothing but igrant, dumb POS
Ummmmm, illegal people that are in the USA.. are NOT Americans.
The demonrats can just share their checks with the illegals they are worried about.
Easy pezy lemon squeezy.
“I was appalled to learn hardworking, taxpaying immigrants were left out of the $2 trillion CARES Act, Correa said in a statement”
Taxpaying immigrants ? SURE. effing ILLEGALS? F EM.
Do these demons ever sleep?
I despise both.....
Idiocy. Just enticing more to come. Democrats are nuts.
In regards to the line item veto, I believe the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional a number of years ago.
No. Sadly. There have been many discussions on this.
One of the premier problems we have in America is that so many Americans are against Americans.
The article and quote refer to amending the CAREs ACT to include illegal aliens... which already authorizes up to $1200/each stimulus check to every qualifying citizen/resident-alien,
No, they don’t need any stimulus payment on principle since they are illegal aliens and yes, (and) because they’re still working. The argument is a pander to the illegals to secure their illegal vote. The Dem grifters care only about the value of their potential vote nothing else.
I would like to hear from Democrats who receive a check with a note saying that the amount was supposed to be three times the enclosed amount, but DEMOCRATS introduced legislation so undocumented gang members be included in this program for AMERICANS.
No. Just plain NO!
They dont like it? Well, DLTDHYITAOYWO.
Not only “no,” but “HELL NO!”
Hey-— democrat dummies— do THEY file 1040 Income tax annually and pay THOSE taxes? No? Then they damned well don’t get a check like the millions of those who do— file. Tough crap— here illegally you don’t get anything other than the “fat of the land” you are ripping off. These aren’t “dreamers” .... they are illegals.
Commercials PLEASE.
Since you and your fellow “countrymen” are too lazy to pick up after yourselves give them a broom...last time I looked you exported the worst of the worst and you still live in a $hithole.
Now there’s a bunch of sickos. Don’t know anything about Correa but Judy Chu (D-Ca) is an old communist from the Maoist/Red China aligned “Communist Workers Party” (see: www.keywiki.org, search under her name for full documentation). Grijalva (D- AZ) is another Red who wants to communize his state and then give it back to Mexico (drug cartels and all).
This is like having Dr. Khivorkien, Dr. Mengele and Pancho Villa running the Dept. of Health and Human Services.
