House Dems Block Consideration for Amendment That Prevents Stimulus Checks Going to Illegal Immigrants
House Democrats blocked Republicans on a Motion to Recommit (MTR), which would allow them to propose a last-minute amendment, that was introduced by Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) on Friday. The amendment would have prevented stimulus checks from going to illegal immigrants as part of the HEROES Act.
The MTR would have struck the provision in the HEROES Act that would have no longer made it a requirement to have a Social Security number in order to get the $1,200 Economic Impact Payments that were sent to Americans as part of the CARES Act. $1,200 were sent to adults and an extra $500 to families with dependent children to alleviate financial burdens that were the result of stay-at-home orders in response to COVID-19.
"This switch will allow illegal immigrants and non-citizens to get checks they aren't eligible for. I didn't think that a global pandemic meant it was time to stop helping American citizens who are desperate for assistance," Riggleman said on the House floor. "Now, more than ever, we need to make sure these rebate checks go to Americans who need it."
"The reason they are being included now because this provision is the latest in a grab bag of liberal priorities that Democrats are trying to sneak through in this bill," he continued.
