GOP begs Trump to make sure immigrants don't get help from relief bill

Donald Trump has already repeatedly attacked immigrants during the coronavirus crisis

Even though the current law limits stimulus checks Congress authorized in the coronavirus relief law to citizens and legal residents, more than three dozen Republican lawmakers insisted Donald Trump make sure that the IRS doesn't give undocumented immigrants a penny.

In a letter sent to Trump on Monday, 39 Republican members of the House, led by Ken Buck of Colorado, said they "are concerned that language and definitions contained in the CARES Act may allow illegal immigrants to also take advantage" of the relief checks.

To ensure undocumented immigrants do not receive any assistance, the Republicans asked Trump "to investigate this matter to ensure that illegal immigrants are not reaping the benefits of our country's generosity."

Republicans say they are concerned because the IRS, which will issue the checks, uses residency requirements determined by how long a person has been in the U.S. regardless of immigration status. The letter expresses concern that "millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States may unintentionally receive a recovery rebate" despite language in the law limiting assistance to citizens and legal residents.

3. You mean like the immigrants in the meat packing plants?

The ones too sick to work, so the plants shut down?

So we end up with meat shortages?

Keep pursuing your anti-immigrant racist strategy to where the food supply chain is disrupted and we can't buy groceries. You want us to sacrifice our lives for "the economy", now you want to cut off our food supply to punish immigrants.
