www.breitbart.com Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed outrage on Thursday that the cash payment portion of the economic relief package, which the Senate unanimously passed Wednesday night, does not extend to noncitizens.
The Senate unanimously approved of the historic coronavirus emergency relief measure on Wednesday evening after days of partisan battles. As many Republican leaders have stated, the passed bill remains virtually the same as the original bill Democrats rejected on Sunday. It provides aid for small businesses, creates a lending aid program, and delivers cash assistance directly into the pockets of American citizens.
The bill will provide most American adults with $1,200, $500 of which is for most children. Ocasio-Cortez, however, is taking issue with the stipulations â specifically, the requirement of a Social Security number.
âTo clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs),â she wrote following the Senateâs unanimous 96-0 approval of the bill,â adding, âThanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing.â:

Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing. Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon.

My goodness how can someone so out of it keep getting so much press. Why are the higher ups in the Democratic party so afraid of this person? Unless thay are using her to keep the heat off of them? I believe if she were over 35 years old and thay though she would make a move for the speakership thay would crush her like a bug.
