Several Democrats have expressed dismay that the initial coronavirus relief package didn’t include financial benefits for illegal immigrants, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called it “inhumane.”

No!!! They can go “home”for aid.

[dp0622]

Thank God we hold the senate.

no way they’ll get 2/3 to override a veto and mast majority of Americans don’t want illegals to get it.

I bet a number of people that loved illegals when times were good aren’t gonna love them as much now that their families are in need

[Lurkinanloomin]

Ramp up the removals.

[virgil]

No. Let Mexico take care of them. Pelosi needs to be investigated for colluding with foreign agents.

[Migraine]

Might as well pass a bill forcing homeowners and shopkeepers to hand over the money when thieves break in. It’s the same principle.

[Drango]

Odious.

[sanjuanbob]

Maybe all registered rats should get $1000 stimulus with other $200 going to their illegals covid cause.

[Savage Beast]

I was appalled to learn that anyone would give the earnings of hardworking, taxpaying US citizens to ILLEGAL immigrants--people in the USA ILLEGALLY!

[gibsonguy]

I hope they fold their mail voting BS into this bill so Trump can kill them both with one pen stroke.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Hopefully, House Democrats will pass this bill so Republicans can make this an issue in the fall election. Most voters will not be happy with the idea of giving illegals tax dollars.

[USNA74]

Hell, why do they have to be immigrants. Just send our taxpayer money direct to Mexico and Central America to hand out to anyone sick.

[rockinqsranch]

So..then..This confirms what mostly we all know already that we are at war with not only the Chinese, but the Democrat party.

Every now, and then we’d see the Democrats treasonous behavior in days of yore as they concealed their true goals, but today the Democrats are absolute exhibitionists.

[Junk Silver]

They should call it “The Making Absolutely Certain That Donald Trump Gets Re-elected” act of 2020.

[Citizen Soldier]

Attach admends to revoke NPR and Kennedy Ctr money to it.

[Seaplaner]

No, no, NO!

Thanks, anyhoo.

[Citizen Soldier]

Illegals are already getting govt benefits that Americans on the dole aren’t. They use our ERa as primary care doctors etc.

[VeniVidiVici]

Cortez - they lying loon.

Okay, they can get aid as in a free flight home. Yes, any illegal alien can go home free-of-charge on condition they do not return and they confess to all crimes while in US (e.g., identity theft, working illegally)
