ILLEGAL Immigrant Stimulus

The Democrat so-called "American Recovery and Reinvestment plan" is floundering.

A new day, a new wasteful aspect of the plan uncovered.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The $800 billion-plus economic stimulus measure making its way through Congress could steer government checks to illegal immigrants, a top Republican congressional official asserted Thursday.

The legislation, which would send tax credits of $500 per worker and $1,000 per couple, expressly disqualifies nonresident aliens, but it would allow people who don't have Social Security numbers to be eligible for the checks.

Undocumented immigrants who are not eligible for a Social Security number can file tax returns with an alternative number. A House-passed version of the economic recovery bill and one making its way through the Senate would allow anyone with such a number, called an individual taxpayer identification number, to qualify for the tax credits.

...The GOP official voiced concerns about the latest economic aid measure on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

Good Lord.

This legislation is an absolute mess.

It's exactly what I expected with Barack Obama and the Democrats in power.

A way to stimulate the economy would be to get tough on ILLEGAL immigrants and eliminate the burden on the American taxpayer to provide health care and education and other services to people in the country ILLEGALLY.

Handing out tax credits (aka welfare checks) to ILLEGAL immigrants isn't the way to help the economy.

I can't wait to see her attempt to justify government checks for ILLEGAL immigrants.
