Hill Republican: Stimulus aids illegal immigrants

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.

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.

He forced me to it but talking so many insane positions so fast.

Use social security #s for any rebates given.

They will. Count on it.

We warned them over and over and over and over again. We are not two weeks into this and Obama/Pelosi already added a trillion to federal debt on waste fraud and abuse.

You fools who voted for ZERO will be begging for Bush to come back sooner than you think.

i dont think that is too accurate, but go ahead and cling to whatever fuels your bitterness haha

And it does my heart well to see ALL the house repubs vote against it.

This has Madame Botox's fingerprints all over it.

Maybe there is some hope and change coming! But not what Barry intended.

Has anyone read about FDR when he had complete control of Congress? This is very similar. Lots of shoddy legislation is going to get through because the American voter is blinded by words like "hope" and "change".

They are yearning for shackles and slavery.

Slavery to the government... for the sole benefit of the government and their legions of social dependants.

I'm not going to put all the blame on Obama...its the far leftist congressional democrats and Pelosi that are just out of hand and pushing their weight around. I feel that Obama would do a far better job with a more balanced or republican leaning congress. The lopsided balance of power is allowing the lefty democrats to push their extreme agendas, which is not good for the economy or for most of the country.

This is exactly the concern many people raised when they said the power swung too far to the left. Big democrat majorities in the house, the senate, a far left speaker and a liberal democratic president. Pelosi is a disgrace. Far left liberals are so bad for this country...its become clearer and clearer to me. Don't like the far right loons either, but they are far from power and influence right now. I think Obama has a great skill at compromising...but he's basically compromising between the far left and moderate democrats right now and the far left is more powerful.

Remember, Obama had the most liberal voting record in Congress.

Like I said, Obama is going to be a rubber stamp for Pelosi.
