Senate Expected to Vote on Stimulus Package Today!

Call Your Senators Now!

Today the Senate is expected to vote on the economic stimulus package (H.R.5140) and FAIR is asking all members, activists, and friends to take action immediately to preserve the language we fought for last week!

As we reported in our last alert, the House version of the economic stimulus package has loopholes that allow illegal aliens to receive tax rebates from the federal government. First, the House version allows resident aliens who file using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to receive a rebate. Because the IRS does not take immigration status into account when issuing ITINs or determining resident alien status, illegal aliens who file returns using ITINs will be able to receive refund checks from the IRS. In addition, the House economic stimulus package does not require the IRS to weed out false and fraudulent social security numbers in its system before issuing rebate checks.

Last week, the Senate Finance Committee drafted its own version of the economic stimulus bill and attempted to fix these loopholes by: (1) requiring taxpayers to have valid social security numbers in order to be eligible for rebates, and (2) barring taxpayers who file with ITINs from receiving rebate checks. According to Senate staffers, in order to determine whether a social security number is valid, the IRS will have to check the numbers against no-match information it already receives from the Social Security Administration to determine eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Reliable sources have told FAIR that when the Senate takes up the bill, there may be an attempt to water down the Senate language by stripping the provision that bars the issuance of rebate checks to individuals who file with ITINs. This would be most likely if the Senate decides to vote on the House language without amending it to include the immigration-related changes made in the Senate Finance Committee.

Please call your Senators TODAY and insist that they keep their word! Tell them that no matter which stimulus package they adopt, Congress should prohibit the IRS from issuing rebate checks to illegal aliens. This means making individuals who file with ITINs ineligible for tax rebates.

Come on everyone call your Senators and Keep your self busy while W. is working on our next stradegy....we have alot to do and this is far from over!!!

SHOW THEM YOU ARE STILL OUT HERE AND THEY WILL NOT SHUT YOU UP!!!!!

WHILE YOU ARE CALLING DO LIKE ZEEZIL SAID AND TELL THEM YOU WILL NOT VOTE FOR TRAITOR MC CAIN!!!

They were just running the stipulations of this bill across the CSAN2 screen and it said rebate checks will only be given to people with valid SS numbers. Also they would extend unemployment benefits.

And Dominici just said they want to make sure no illegals get the rebate. Also some of this money would go to veterans and seniors.

I called McCain and told him to vote for the Ensign amendment..then I said..
IF McCain wins the nominaton, I am going to print out bumper stickers that say:
How do I vote for Lesser of Two Evils...when the choice is Two Equal Evils?
McCAIN/CLINTON..EVIL TWINS IN THE ONE PARTY MACHINE

AND I WILL WRITE IN "TANCREDO" on the ballot

I read this article saying that the "Stimulus Package" is going to benefit Mexico too!
