The Senate acted swiftly Monday night, in a 91-7 vote, to approve more than $900 billion for coronavirus assistance, shortly after the House of Representatives passed the package. The aid comes after months of partisan sniping over what elements should be in a relief measure that virtually all lawmakers on Capitol Hill argued was long overdue.
The measure now heads to President Trump’s desk. In order to avoid a shutdown, since federal agencies would have run out of money at midnight Monday, a 7-day stop-gap spending bill was also approved to allow time to process the combined relief and annual funding bills.
The stimulus bill is 5,593 pages long and has to be delivered in a hand cart Video below:
So lawmakers aren’t even reading the bill before voting on nearly $1 trillion dollars of spending.
They FINALLY agreed to hand out a $600 dollar check to every American after they ruined the economy and millions of lives.
Family members of illegal aliens are now eligible to get stimulus checks. That eligibility is retroactive, so adults excluded last time could get up to $1800 now.
According to the Wall Street Journal, households will receive $600 for each adult and $600 for each child or dependent, instead of $1,200 and $500, respectively.
Eligible households include individuals with adjusted gross incomes under $75,000 and married couples who earn under $150,000.
The new deal, ironed out by the Democrats, includes direct payments for “mixed households.” Mixed households refers to “ineligible non-citizens” or people who are in the country illegally and were shut out of the $1,200 stimulus payments in the first round.
The new legislation means non-citizens could get $600 checks plus $1,200 checks retroactively. Undocumented immigrants are eligible to receive a minimum of $1,800 before Christmas.
Unemployed workers are eligible for a $300-a-week subsidy in addition to weekly state unemployment benefits.
It also reduces the number of beds ICE can house illegals in. So essentially catch and release.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who was the lead negotiator for congressional Democrats defended the package, which was half of what she had been holding out for over several months, saying “we want to do more.” She pledged that the compromise represented “a first step” and more would be coming after President-elect Joe Biden took office.
In 2018 Pelosi called $1,000+ bonuses being handed out by businesses after tax cuts “crumbs” and “pathetic” but called the $600 stimulus checks “significant.”
Video below:
President Trump in October said he would sign a stand-alone bill for $1200 stimulus checks but lawmakers refused to work with him and now we know why.
While Americans are only getting $600 so a huge part of our taxpayer’s money is going abroad!
$135 million to Burma $85.5 million to Cambodia $1.4 billion for “Asia Reassurance Initiative Act” $130 million to Nepal $700 million to Sudan $250 million in Palestinian aid $25 million for “gender programs” in Pakistan.

After months of stonewalling and playing politics, they all agreed on the “Stimulus Bill” that will benefit everyone except the American people!
President Trump needs to VETO this bill!
the fact is Trannys in Pakistan, and Pelosi’s slaves
in Samoa, get more than any American.
Because the penalties for law-abiding citizens breaking the rules would be a severe punishment or death using the full weight of the government to do so.
Thank you and have a nice day.
if they are undocumented, how’s the check gonna find them.
And if we quit following the rules, guess who’d get slammed. Yup. Us.
As long as the extra money is for a one way ticket out of here.......
Wow. Talk about old news being posted. A variation of this article has been posted at least eight or 10 times in the last 3 or four days.
But what’s truly amazing is how this $700 billion stimulus package has now skyrocketed into a $2.3 trillion spending bill. In just a matter of days.
The media won’t tell the sheep. The sheep will be happy, they can buy new phones.
Well between the stimbux and EIC tax refunds, late winter is gonna be a party in the ‘hood!
Honest, hardworking, play-by-the-rules people don’t have a chance. We’re here to be used. The Communists have been trying to take over this country since the early 1900s and they are winning big time.
Why would illegals get one thin dime?
Oh, they vote Democrat. Never mind.
I only have one thing to say about these politicians, but it would be unacceptable here.
All I can say is they are the most self serving bastards on earth.
“if they are undocumented, how’s the check gonna find them.”
IRS records if they have filed taxes.
WHO ARE THE 7?
We have to hail and support this nucleus of patriots. Name them, build them, nurture them.
Criminals & moochers see no problem here.
LOL! luv that scene...one of the best evah
Even better, the article is a lie.
"The new legislation means non-citizens could get $600 checks plus $1,200 checks retroactively."
Non-citizens can't get the checks, only citizens living in the same household.
4 years of this and the tax payers will be broke
