As part of an unprecedented $2 trillion stimulus bill expected to pass the Senate on Wednesday night, many Americans experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 will soon be eligible for a $1,200 check and expanded unemployment benefits. But despite promises from Democratic congressional leaders, the sweeping legislation will leave behind some of the country's most vulnerable residents: undocumented immigrants and mixed status families.
According to a draft of the bill, the relief explicitly excludes those without Social Security numbers from obtaining the one-time cash assistance payments that will soon be sent to millions of Americans. Even more glaring, advocates said, the bill disqualifies individuals who would otherwise be eligible, but jointly filed their taxes with a family member who doesn't have a social security number.
Those stipulations will leave out a significant number of undocumented and mixed status families, many of whom file their taxes using Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs). The restrictions represent a major shift from language included in the House version of the bill earlier this week.

Send them all back home and STFU about how tough it is for them.
Hey Sydney, thanks for the great news. Suck it up buttercup.
Mexico through they were so smart dumping 30 million of their poor on us. Now they are “coming home”, infected. That’s gonna leave a mark.
Oh. I am so sad my future great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren’s tax dollars are not being spent to support illegal aliens who have jumped the fence to come here and free load off of them. Really sad. Not to mention every single great in between paying interest on that debt before it’s paid off. . .

They say that as if it was a bad thing.
Should we pay everyone in China $1,200 as well? No? Then why any other non-American citizens?
GOOD!
Maybe they should go home and get their own government to take care of them. It isn’t the job of American taxpayers to take care of everyone on the planet.
Well why the HELL would they be in it.
And they’re not undocumented.
Like I’ve said before, I’m undocumented when I get pulled over and lost my license and never got a new one.
It’s a 40 dollar ticket and head to motor vehicles for another one or order one online.
These are ILLEGAL invaders. They’re not immigrants either.
I Know their home countries suck.
Make them better. Even at the cost of bloodshed.
You’ll thank me down the line.
So?
They can get aid from their country.
Yeah just get them out of here.
It’s enough.
I saw this on their website.

What’s the problem?
We already support them 50+% and they’ll make it up via their child tax credits for their alleged children in their home country that we can’t verify but pay out anyway.
Failing to see the problem. The ‘undocumented’ are citizens of another nation. If they want help, they should go ask their nation for it.
As it should be.
