The final spending package includes $2.1 billion in aid for undocumented immigrants hit hard by the pandemic...

Left-leaning lawmakers and activists had been pushing for $3.5 billion to establish a relief fund for undocumented immigrants, who were ineligible for other forms of state or federal aid. Pushback from Republicans and moderate suburban Democrats meant that the final budget allocation was reduced to $2.1 billion. Applicants will have to verify their identity, residency and work history to be eligible for one of the two tiers in the program, which will be administered by the Department of Labor.

The higher tier of the cash assistance fund offers $15,600, with a $780 tax deduction, while the lower tier offers $3,200, with a $160 deduction.

And now they are giving it away to fraudulently documented foreigners.

Sure am glad I'm not in NY. I would never have voted for this kind of spending.
