“Stimulus” For Illegal Aliens - With Video
Stimulus aids illegal immigrants
WASHINGTON - 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.
A revolt among GOP conservatives to similar provisions of a 2008 economic stimulus bill, which sent rebate checks to most wage earners, forced Democratic congressional leaders to add stricter eligibility requirements. That legislation, enacted in February 2008, required that people have valid Social Security numbers in order to get checks.
The GOP official voiced concerns about the latest economic aid measure on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss it publicly.
Republicans have already blasted the package for including what they argue is wasteful spending and omitting tax cuts for wealthier people and businesses they say are needed to jump-start the anemic economy.
Not a single Republican voted for an $819 billion version of the plan when it passed the House on Wednesday.
GOP senators arranged a midday news conference to voice their concerns.

Cavuto Questions Dem Strategist on Tax Rebates For Illegal Aliens
Oh, man… [ ... ]
Do you seriously want your tax dollars going to criminal illegal aliens, as part of the stimulus package, I might add, who don’t even pay taxes? If you do, you need to hop on the next train to Crazytown! I for one am not too pleased about that. What happened to Obama’s pledge to have a pork-free stimulus package?
Cavuto seems as puzzled as I do.
Again I have some “WTF?” questions for this woman. Where are her hands? Are sleeves that cover the wrists and hands “en vogue” now, or is that a Western hijab? What grade is this girl in? What is she giggling about? Oh, wait! I think I saw the back of her hand! Oh, dang…it disappeared. She has as bad a choice of TV wardrobe as Obama has for the Oval Office - i.e., NOT APPROPRIATE!
My head hurts after watching these two in succession to each other. Doesn’t it yours?
Me: MsU, I got this Border Collie after I graduated from high school … It used to chase and chase her tail round and round and round …

Here we go again, what part of, “illegal”, don’t these lawyer/politicians get? One suggested penalty for an employer hiring one of these, “illegals”, could be a choice between having to listen to Nancy Pelosi taped interviews, or the cattle prod. I’d recommend the cattle prod.
Its got me thinking
Basically anyone in the USA can get it.
FUCK THAT!! we need to make these politicans illegals and kick them out!
I’m pretty sure that some of what they are doing is illegal.
