If you are complying, (by continuing to pay taxes), then you are just as guilty as they are.

That thought bothers me greatly. It's one of the MAJOR reasons why I retired early. Now, the Fed Gov gets much less tax money from me. I could no longer in good conscience support the vast majority of the CRAP the Fed Gov funds. Nope. No way.

There's a middle ground to seek, and I'm happy that the very leftist idea to distribute stimulus to illegal residents was overruled.

I don't call them "america-destroying leftists", though. That's your term.

I call them left wing, liberal idealists. Which isn't always practical.

There never was a plan to send stimulus to illegal immigrants. Nothing was overruled, because there was nothing proposed to overrule.

Apparently there was, or the OP article is a complete fabrication.

Apparently, in the stimulus talks, the subject came up as to whether the stimulus should be given to all residents, legal and otherwise, and 42 democrats voted, in the talks process, that illegal residents should be included. So, their wishes didn't prevail. Were overruled.

Actually, there was not, and the way the OP phrased this thread is completely misleading. Allow me the conceit of quoting myself on this one, as I have previously addressed it in this thread.

Republicans introduced a non-binding amendment that would prevent illegal immigrants from receiving stimulus payments. However, illegal immigrants have never been eligible for receiving these payments, and there is nothing in the current proposal that would expand stimulus payments to illegal immigrants.

So the Republicans took the time to propose a non-binding amendment to vote against something that nobody has proposed in any case.

I imagine most Democrats were voting against meaningless Republican amendments rather than signaling support for something that nobody has seriously contemplated.
Now, if you have information to the contrary, please feel free to post it.

It may be all part of the plan. Democrats insist on counting illegals during a Census. Having documentation regarding their actual whereabouts also fits in with plans for their” path to citizenship” , whatever that turns out to be. Next will come the dollars , for another “Group” , so they can address them not with individual rights, but the collective rights of “Groups” , added on to all the other “Groups” they have created .

Unfortunately the money will be sent to their countries of origin, where it will help their economies. Is this our new foreign aid package?
