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...

Good grief! What’s wrong with these people?
No conscience. Just daring President Trump to veto the bill so they can turn around and say, “See!? President Trump doesn’t care about the American people!”
Question: Dont the president have the power of LINE ITEM VETO?
Treasonous aiding and abetting criminals.
Liberals versus Americans.
Again.
Sadly, no.
It’s not like it’s a secret or anything.
No! The border will be crushed by millions of Gimmiegrants.
Why does it matter? Another thread says the House Rats have all the money to do with as they wish anyway.
Ballots by mail has resulted in no republicans winning in Oregon. You must write your name on the back. They look at your name, see you are on the republican list and your ballot goes bye bye. If the democrats keep pushing for mail in ballots, I am going to think that they and their shawdow government unleashed this virus on us all...after George Soros’ biowarfare plant developed a vaccine, of course. I don’t think Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, Clintons etc would unleash it without being vaccinated first.

Not on the U.S. team. Their loyalties lie elsewhere.
