Immigrants get help from states, cheer inclusion in US bill

SANTA FE, N.M. - Lily Guido was having trouble hearing and she felt warm while talking to her co-worker at a California nursing home. She knew something was wrong.

Fearing the coronavirus, Guido, 30, of Santa Rosa, California, didn’t go home to avoid possibly spreading it to her five children, isolating in a hotel room provided for health care workers like her.

“They confirmed that I had COVID, and my husband was like, ‘Oh God, what’s going to happen?’” she said last week. “I couldn’t take it. I was in tears. I was in denial.”

Out of work, her family’s bills began to pile up this summer. While Guido is a U.S. citizen, and so are her children, her family hadn’t gotten a relief check from the federal government in the spring because she files taxes jointly with her husband, Erik, who is an immigrant in the country illegally and not eligible for any federal payments.

An estimated 1.4 million spouses and 3.7 million children who are U.S. citizens or legal residents in mixed-status families like Guido’s were cut out of the payments that many needed as the pandemic tanked the economy, according to tax data analysis by the Migration Policy Institute.

That’s changed in the latest federal relief package. Guido celebrated that her family and others like them would get checks this time around, as well as a retroactive $1,200 tax credit.

“Mixed-status families with children count,” Guido said. “That makes such a big difference. And I jump for joy, you know, for those people that unfortunately aren’t able to work during this pandemic.”

This is only the beginning, especially if we lose the GA runoffs, which Mitch has made more likely with his foolish move.

Illegal aliens should not get anything from the taxpayers. They should not count for representation in the House or for Electors.
She married an illegal alien - that alone should be a crime enough to cut her off from any assistance.

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

Between the tremendous economic harm caused by the COVID closing of businesses, the higher prices caused by shortages due to COVID, the decision of the great economic engines of Wall Street to make telecommuting the norm, etc., U.S. coffers are severely depleted. And these ILLEGAL THIEVING CRIMINALS are to get zillions of taxpayer dollars’ worth of goods and services to which they absolutely are not entitled? Just by standing on our land, they are criminals. And these idiots want to REWARD and ENCOURAGE them with goodies? Absolute insanity! They need to be thrown out of our country so fast that they glow red.

Send them home, sick, dead, or alive, but home out of the US. Our only cost should be the time to kick them over the border.
