Senate Democrats rejected an amendment to the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill that Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says now paves the way for illegal immigrants to receive $1,400 stimulus rebates.
"There are 12mm or more illegal immigrants," Cruz tweeted on Sunday. "60% of them are from visa overstays. Many (if not most) of them have social security numbers. Under the bill's language, MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS will get the $1400 checks."
According to the text of the Cruz amendment, "any alien who is not lawfully present" would be ineligible for direct stimulus payments or checks.
Democrats voted against the amendment on Saturday 50-49. The final bill, the American Rescue Plan, passed later in the day.
Under previous coronavirus stimulus bills, some non-citizens residing in the U.S. illegally had received stimulus payments because they had filed tax returns using Social Security numbers. In November, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted foreign nationals were receiving stimulus payments while residing overseas.

Meh. It’s monopoly money. Who cares?
I’m done with the whole thing. It’s like being a German in Germany in 1941: We’re just gonna have to ride it out ‘till 1945.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s this “rebate” stuff? Do I detect a bait-and-switch happening here?

Hooray! Free money for everyone.
How many billions will be wired HOME to Mexico?
Yeah I used to worry about “deficits”
This won’t end well but what can we do about it?
Taxpayers getting fleeced both ways; and now that China Joe has opened the borders to anyone there goes more of our money.
He’s just pissed it wasn’t his idea.
And prisoners. Sitting on death row and you want a few extra bucks to buy something nice for yourself? Not to worry, you’re getting $1,400 from Uncle Sugar sometime soon. Enjoy
The surviving surviving Tsarnaev brother is getting a check from the government but if you made $75,000.01, you’re not.
Unfortunately, we’re not even close to peak stupid yet.
As they wave them through they’ll probably be handing them $2k in cash to go along with their driver’s license, food stamps and voter registration.
Just report to the local ICE offices nearest you. No need to fill out any paperwork, wear a t-shirt that says something like Pay Me BIDEN - I’m here cause you asked us to come.
I have already talked to some are going to do just that.
Jenga continues...
These payouts are going to collapse us.
Unfortunately, we’re not even close to peak stupid yet.
And we are only in the first 2 months of this “administration”
Peak stupid is way out there yet
Biden and our congress needs to set up kiosks in shopping malls and give money away in unlimited amounts.
Think about it;
If Republicans spent their entire 1,2,20 hours just asking ...
"Does this bill, amendment say ____?"
....and just stand quietly for ONE minute, state the other side refuses to answer, reserve the balance etc.
We MIGHT get the message across to the America that is actually watching/listening to CSPAN.
DEMOCRATS ARE THE ENEMY OF AMERICA
And how is that going to be accounted for?
Illegals just walk up and collect?
Spanish have 3 legal names. Collect 3 checks?
Jose’ AAA
Jose’ BBB
Jose’ AAA y BBB
This is going to work out real well. /s
