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...

Just part of the Rats’ campaign for November.They want to give wetbacks yet another reason to get out and vote...several times and under several different names.
Wrong..it's depravity.
No, he does not have the line item veto. He should have. Many efforts over the years to implement it, but it has always failed. Wonder why? /sar
I’m reading a biography of US Grant.
Apparently he was the first POTUS to seek a line item veto.
It’s been sought for a long time.
18 U.S. Code § 3. Accessory after the fact
Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact.
Except as otherwise expressly provided by any Act of Congress, an accessory after the fact shall be imprisoned not more than one-half the maximum term of imprisonment or (notwithstanding section 3571) fined not more than one-half the maximum fine prescribed for the punishment of the principal, or both; or if the principal is punishable by life imprisonment or death, the accessory shall be imprisoned not more than 15 years
Almost every sanctuary city has become a hot spot.
NYC promotes (because it wants cheap labor and is infested with slum lords) illegals and others to live like rats with multiple families in small apartments. That density is what was the kindling to promote Covid19 spread in NYC and now elsewhere. The mayor and governor calls them a “welcoming” city when they are creating the spread conditions to overwhelm their own hospitals. These people that promote and cause this are incapable of competently governing anything. Cheap labor advocates kill them and us.
I have a sinking feeling they are going to make this the battle in the next few months. They are going to demand a mail in ballot. Hopefully Trump counters with a 1 year delay in the election.
Just heard on the news that the stimulus checks are actually an advance on 2020 tax returns.
NO!!! We are already paying Outrageous Health insurance premiums so they can get their medical care for Free. I’m sick of it. I know after the 10’s of THOUSANDS I paid wHorizon BCBSofNJ, after this economic hit I will no longer be able to pay. Six years of pissing away $1300/month so the “poor” and illegals can live larger than me. I know this firsthand! So, when city, state and federal government steals everything the middle class has will we get everything for free, too?! Doubt it.
Let the pampered poodles in Congess, in Hollywood and the Media pay for them
What does that mean?
They owe it back next year?
Actually it was a misunderstanding and it won’t come out of your 2020 return or be considered taxable income.
This is nothing, they’ll have this whole thing loaded up with such crap it’ll make your head spin.
Leave no taxpayer behind act - illegals don’t pay income taxes
If it gets that far, Trump should veto this joke and he will have MASSIVE support for his veto.
