Homeless veterans in New York are not eligible for the $15,600 one-time payments that nearly 200,000 illegal aliens will soon receive, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) notes.
As Breitbart News has reported, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and state Democrats have struck a budget deal that includes $2.1 billion in taxpayer funding to provide unemployment benefits and stimulus checks to about 187,000 illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens who will be eligible for the one-time payment could receive up to $15,600, the equivalent of about $300 a week for one year. The aid to illegal aliens is $1.1 billion more in funding than tax credits and grants authorized for New York small businesses in the budget.
Cotton, in a statement posted online, noted the state’s homeless veterans are not eligible for the stimulus benefits:
A June 2020 report conducted by New York state officials revealed in 2019, there were 1,270 homeless veterans in the state with the overwhelming majority living in shelters. More than half of these homeless veterans are in New York City.
The New York payments to illegal aliens is a model for blue states on subsidizing illegal foreign labor that helps businesses widen profit margins by paying off-the-books wages.

Just show up with no id and collect your check....
My dears, the leftist demonRATs don’t give a rat’s azz about our military or veterans and view them with much the same contempt they view the middle class. We Americans, at all levels, are expendable.
p
Democrats only care about illegals now and no one else!
The suicide of the US.
This violates federal law.
NEVR move to an east or west coast state they all are screwed up chimps could do a better job of running them.
The good news? This will NOT be an incentive for another 40 to 80 million NEW illegals to come to the US... /s
How many Black Vets are homeless in NY?
RE: Just show up with no id and collect your check....
Not if you’re white....
Face facts, folks. Your government hates you.
L
Unreal.
The good times I remember are no more. All the things/ways that made it good, are replaced with phone in hand, games on phone, sandwich at the local fast food instead of dinner around the table.. time to pretty up the spring yard instead is spent at the gym...
The handshake of friends after church is no more... dont know the neighbors... the evening walk past houses where you knew every one ... not any more..
Friends helping friends... maybe next door who you don’t know that well.
....... and yesterday was good... we didn’t know it then...
“ Democrats only care about illegals now and no one else!”
That’s because every country where large numbers of them exist is corrupt, so they expect it, and democrats live for corruption
The MSNBC private school bimbos and pretentious men support this - they feel ‘the homeless’ aren’t fashionable ... they were their parent’s generations ‘cause’... Ask Mika Brzezinski - she’s old enough to remember when the homeless were the cause célèbre...
The illegals are being used to find businesses to audit.
Left wing commie thugs are intentionally destabilizing the country...
By the time commies thugs are through we’ll be begging them to take our freedom in exchange for some safety. THAT is their goal...
How?
Yeah, take away our guns, push honest cops into retirement... fill the country with illegals - many of them gang members, define the ‘highest social morality’ as how you ‘feel’ about black people - and yeah - it’ll happen.
Around $ 3 TRILLION
The fight is gone in average Americans... it is pitiful how comfort takes such a toll.
I remember we traveled a 2 hr drive up US 27 and there was no fast food place ... there was a dairy queen in the summer.. that is all.
I remember looking for a phone booth to make a call.
we lived a 2 day drive from our home turf.. never called once.. it was long distance and there was a charge...
I started out with $10 a week for groceries..
box of cereal was 39 cents.. bread was 25 cents. First house we rented was 4 bedroom 2 bath for $60 a month.
you get it... many remember...
The value of a dollar doesn’t hit me as hard as the value of what society doesn’t mind having going on.
what someone else does in private I don’t care.. but when it affects me and mine.. zi care more than you know.
