Democratic leaders were upset when the last coronavirus stimulus bill sent $1,200 checks to American taxpayers but not to illegal immigrants.
That was to be expected.
But now 5 Republicans have betrayed the president’s trust and have voted to give money to illegal immigrants in the next stimulus bill.
The bill is intended to expand labor protection, boost unions, and improve worker classification systems.
The bill also essentially abolishes state right-to-work laws.
But now, if the new bill passes, illegal immigrants will have the right to seek damages from their employer if any of their labor rights are violated.
Under current law, illegal immigrants are unable to receive compensation if they are terminated.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform has warned that as it stands, this bill could potentially make it illegal to fire an employee who is in the country illegally.
WOW!
According to GovTrack’s “Statistically Notable Votes,” the five Republicans who voted with Democrats are: Don Young (AK), Jefferson Van Drew (NJ), Chris Smith (NJ), John Katko (NY), and Brian Fitzpatrick (PA).
