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.

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.

My heart pumps guacamole for them.

SOCIALIST DICKTATORS/governors LOCKDOWN LEMMINGS in their states, HOLD ENTIRE REPUBLIC HOSTAGE.
Socialism is Legal Plunder/DEATH - Bastiat “The Law”. Witness history and current events.
Good.
If true, this is great.
They can go back to Mexico and elsewhere where it is safe.
The only reason illegals file a tax return is to get taxpayer money for their kids. The parent can get that while paying zero taxes.
Hey, illegal alien invaders criminals..Get the H out of our country, you losers. OUT! We despise you. We will turn you in to ICE. ICE will arrest you. We will kick you out.
Best news I have heard all day.
I’m curious if all prisoners will get a check.
They’ll figure out how to sneak it in later, they always do.
