Seattle City Council calls for $100 million 'relief fund' for illegal immigrants
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2020 | Adam Shaw

The Seattle City Council is calling on Washington state to create a $100 million “relief fund” for illegal immigrants who did not qualify for the federal stimulus checks issued last month -- the latest push by left-wing politicians to give money to those in the country illegally.

The city’s council passed a resolution Monday asking Gov. Jay Inslee to create a “Washington Worker Relief Fund” to provide “economic assistance to undocumented Washingtonians during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

According to The Seattle Times, the vote was 9-0 and Mayor Jenny Durkan was to sign the measure.

“Looking out for the most vulnerable in our community is even more critical in times of crisis,” Durkan said, according to The Times. “It is all the more important to ensure we are not pushing people further into the shadows.”

While it is an unbinding resolution, and therefore only calls for such a fund rather than actually creating one, it is the latest push by Democrats across the country to include illegal immigrants in on taxpayer-funded stimulus checks.

But, but, but “Illegal Immigrants” is the moniker our side prefers!

Perhaps you were thinking “undocumented immigrants”? That is the oxymoron that denies their true status.

The cool thing about government is how it can just make free money.

I would tell every homeless person I could find that Seattle is the best place to be.

When are the people in these left wing Utopian states going to have enough of this? Y’all are way overdue for a tax strike. Tell them if they won’t let you work, you refuse to pay their taxes. Then the government will start shooting and it’s on.

Sadly, the nuttiness of the Seattle City Council is infecting the King County Council. There’s no refuge.

I don't think these folks should have been here but the fact is they are here because of jobs.

Even today in many places you can drive by a Home Depot, Lowe’s whatever every morning and they are getting picked up for the days work by contractors who don't pay American wages and don't want to pay American benefits..

Until you get rid of the demand, either legal or illegal, nothing will change..

This excellent news for us in Eastern Washington as it may temporarily rid of us of these folks as they migrate to Seattle to collect the bennies.

Expect an increase in traffic related deaths, domestic violence, and gang activity.

Deport them all.

A bus ticket and a single grilled cheese sandwich for the whole trip is all they should be given.

Help them become legal citizens. Teach them a trade. Help them find a job.

Deport all of them. All.

The communist Democrats are now buying votes and it looks like illegals will vote. Republicans and President Trump can’t stop them.

The only correct term is “Illegal Alien” according to immigration law which is the only law that matters.

Anything else is a euphemism.

Putting on my flame suit now

You don't need it with me.

Well over 80,000 Americans are murdered, raped, assaulted, robbed and victimized by illegal aliens every year.

Add to that the diseases brought in and the jobs lost for Americans.

And people are concerned with us calling them names? Seriously?

Is “unbinding” a real word?

No. You wanted them, you pay for them. I don't want to help "educated" people who are making stupid decisions, pretending that everything will be fine.
