Well that started in CA when the government decided illegals could get Obamacare and CA would pay for it.
In some cities illegals get to vote since they live there.

Clearly, they were already getting enough help from us before this $15K windfall, or else they would have gone back home. How much are we supposed to help them at our expense?

foreign nationals receiving government payments from citizens.

This can't be legal. There has to be a group that will sue NYS and let a judge decide.

Sure it's legal. The stimulus gave states buckets of money to spend. It just has to be covid related.
NYS got $23 billion from that stimulus bill.

A total of $350 billion was in that bill and is going to states to spend as they want as long as it's covid related.

I'd wager they will find some way to say their budget deficits are covid related and just fill up their own kitty.

That number was down from the $20k being tossed about at first.

If Georgia hadn't flipped two senate seats to democrat NYS would have gotten zip from Mitch McConnell. Now that Chuck Schumer is in charge the spigots have been opened for not just NY but CA, WA, and rest of free spending liberal democrat socialist run states.

LOL! The fraud will be off the charts!

Cheater: "I'm an undocumeted worker"
NY: "Prove it."
Cheater: "I can't."
NY: "Here's your $15,000"

Why is this a surprise? Democrats have long shown their support and empathy for criminals, and do far more for them than law abiding American citizens.
