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.

Well dang my hide
That would include all those DACA persons....and numerous illegals on fake emergency rules.
L8r
Are their kids getting free food via the taxpayer funded school system? Do they have EBT cards via the taxpayer funded welfare system?
Will the elderly receiving SS and the disabled on SSDI also receive assistance?
Illegal aliens work by stealing SS numbers. Just ask the thousands who have their identities stolen by these criminals.
Not to worry the despicable(should be hanging from a rope) “C” made sure that 350 mill are in OUR stimulus bill to help Americans, is in there to help immigrant families adjust, do you believe this sh#!!!!!!!! along with a ton of other bulls## that has nothing to do with the stimulous
No money for illegals!!
Easy solution - all they have to do is find their lost documents and they will be golden.
The report I read yesterday here on FR said there is $350 Large in there for illegals.
Gee, that's too bad.
350 million of too help immigrant families adjust
American tax payers who have to meet requirements to be eligible
yeah Im concerned
Really, is this the only thing keeping these illegal grass crawling invaders from raping our tax money? Heck, these bastards have some of the best counterfeit SS cards going.
Our government is so unaware what is going on or CHOOSE not to see it. I know it is the second
[The report I read yesterday here on FR said there is $350 Large in there for illegals.]
That’s not the point. The point is that CNN is lying about it, and pretending like illegals DESERVE something.
They are not entitled to anything. They are illegal.
Well, now, that’s a good thing. They have identity theft to fall back on (oh, no one told you that identity theft is primarily done by illegals?)
Thats a good thing.
Good.
Never understood why someone here illegally would be entitled to any benefit at all.
