New York Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs on Tuesday sought to defuse the increasingly heated debate among lawmakers in Albany over a proposed fund that would provide aid to undocumented workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lawmakers are considering whether to devote about $2 billion toward what is being called the excluded workers fund as the state budget negotiations continue to drag on.
The proposal has led to an uproar between some members of the Democratic conferences in the state Senate and Assembly, however, with accusations leveled against one another in closed-door meetings spilling into public view.
"Questioning certain provisions of the 'excluded worker' bill does NOT make someone a racist," Jacobs said in the statement. "If we, as a party and as a nation, can no longer debate issues like that without being subjected to ad hominem attacks that unfairly question one’s motives, then Donald Trump has truly won and we are no longer a democracy. We will have become the autocracy of the bullies that he spent four years trying to make America into. And, what a shame that will be."

LOL...they are eating each other over debate being silenced by the race card...and blaming Trump
People like this are why shampoo bottles come with user directions
This whole movement towards helping illegals in this country makes zero sense to me when we have citizens of this country who need help. This is even made worse when so many of these ungrateful illegals then try to change this country into the hellhole they just left. This illegal alien problem needs to stop...NOW!
Both parties have been turning the USA into North Mexico for 30 years.
Illegals getting more money than small businesses in NY, go figure.
Rather funny how they use word “Trump” like it is a magical curse in Harry Potter
And why gas pumps have "do not sniff" warnings.
It is Democrats fighting other Democrats using Democrat tactics yet they accuse the other side of being like Trump.
Questioning anything the Dem party dreams up is racist.
So being called a Trumpist is worse than being called a racist to these insane loons.
