Political Quotes

“moments ago, the Democrats in this Chamber just voted to send $1,400 stimulus checks to murderers, to rapists, and child molesters incarcerated in prison. This amendment, just like the one we just voted on that Senator Cassidy and I introduced, this amendment before us today provides that the stimulus check should not go to illegal aliens in this country. The question for the American people to answer is, Should your money, should taxpayer money be sent--$1,400--to every illegal alien in America? This amendment provides that it should not; that stimulus checks should only go to American citizens or to people lawfully present. Now, Democrats may say their language allows for that, but they know that the IRS treats someone who is illegally present in the United States for 31 days last year as a resident alien. So this corrects that and ensures that illegal aliens are not eligible for taxpayer-funded stimulus checks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Illinois.”
