A new report is highlighting how federal COVID funds were used in Washington state to give $1,000 checks to illegal immigrants who were ineligible to receive federal economic impact payments during the pandemic due to their immigration status.
The report, by the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), points to money administered by the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF), which was created by the American Rescue Plan Act and was intended to help state and local governments with their response and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Washington state received $4.4 billion in funding overall from that program.
The report from the group, which calls for a smaller federal government, highlighted how $340 million in funding went to a program that sent $1,000 checks to illegal immigrants in the state. The funds, approved by the Washington state legislature in April 2021, provided "another round of funding for undocumented Washingtonians," according to an impact report on the program said.

How can this be legal? Those funds were designated for another purpose by Congress.
(We pretty much pay taxes now in order to support the illegal aliens who are being imported)
See ya at the bill signing! - George W Bush
The Uniparty Globalists continue to destroy America at will.
It pays to be an illegals in this country any more but not so much if you are a hard working legal citizen.
Well, there are either 340,000 illegals in Washington State, or the Big Guy was getting way more than 10%.
“We pretty much pay taxes now in order to support the illegal aliens who are being imported to take all our nation’s resources and conquer our country.”
Elon Musk @elonmusk:
Biden’s strategy is very simple:
1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.
2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.
That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective!

Not surprised at all. Washington State government is not quite the uniparty that Oregon and California are but is heavily slanted that way (except in eastern part).
Eff this banana republic that we live in.
How can this be legal?

It’s not, but Reichsfuhrer Inslee doesn’t give bloody rip about the citizens of his own state.
Not only that, I think he’s setting up voters to vote in his democrat replacement, since he’s not running for re-election this November.
Of course it’s illegal, but they figure that it will either go unchallenged and/or take years to work its way through the courts and those responsible won’t be around anyway. It’s all a big free-for-all now. Laws are a quaint artifact of a bygone era.
Washington has one of the most corrupt democrat governors and attorney generals in the country; it's all about vote buying.
FK the WA marxist Gov,
ESAD !
What exactly is the definition of illegal in an illegal and illegitimate government.
About the only “advantage” to citizenship is being picked for jury duty.
If the Guv were a Trump supporter he'd be under indictment. But he's a Dem, so meh . .
State population of 7.8 million, so that is approx 5 percent of the State population.
For the whole country that would extrapolate to 17 million, in 2020, before the big surge of the last couple of years.
Not necessarily. Jury pools are from voter rolls. When illegals start voting en mass, and they will be allowed on voting rolls, they will be summoned for jury duty.
How about the homeless vets?????!!!!!
They don’t get jack sh!t!
There are plenty of us left in Oregon who despise the “uniparty” and Gov.Kotex along with our nauseating senators. Illegal immigrants, the uniparty and la raza can all kiss my dead uncles’ asses who fought in WWII. My dad was too young at the time, but was in the Navy during the Korean War. Not one square centimeter of the USA belongs to la raza or anyone south of the border. And if we had lost WWII, the Japanese or Germans would be shooting these border crossers.
I think it would be easier to just start sending these $1000 checks to these poor souls living in their 3rd and 4th world countries, with the caveat -
“please stay in your sh!thole and we’ll keep sending you checks”
