I’m just hearing about this and surprised this wasn’t reported in more. Many immigrants are here legally but can’t get Social Security number such as those on student visas. This rule would mean that if they are married to an American citizen even that citizen isn’t getting a stimulus check unless one of them is in the military.
The only way people like Dan Crenshaw can get elected is because of bullsh!t like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas..._US_Congressional_District_2_(since_2013).tif https://newrepublic.com/article/149...ot-away-racially-discriminatory-electoral-map https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...rict-racially-gerrymandered/story?id=56140728
I posted this in the stimulus thread also. At first they go after the illegal immigrants Then the children of illegal immigrants Then the legal immigrants Then the US citizen married to legal immigrants ....
Breaking news: Trump supporter looks for a sign, any sign, of gross incompetence from their leader. (I have to thank POTUS again for reminding me of the Man with Two (Bigly) Brains, via the reference to injecting disinfectants.)
Brazil like Sweden took a very relaxed attitude regarding combating COVID 19. President Bolsonaro has been very skeptical of dangers of the disease and personally has continued to go out in public without a masks and shake hands with supporters. The infection and death rate is now surging in Brazil with the hardest hit area the Amazonian city of Manaus. One thing to note is that Manaus is tropical and currently it is Mid Fall in much of the rest of Brazil. The effect of warm weather on the virus might not be nearly as strong as some hope. https://www.npr.org/sections/corona...il-s-manaus-digs-a-mass-grave-as-deaths-mount 'Living Through A Nightmare': Brazil's Manaus Digs A Mass Grave As Deaths Mount "I just wish a helicopter would come and fly me away from here," says Manuel Viana, a Brazilian funeral director in the front line of the spiraling coronavirus crisis. "We are living through a nightmare." Viana is among the citizens and officials struggling to cope with a tragedy under way in Manaus, a city of 2.2 million in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. Cemeteries and hospitals have been overwhelmed by a surge in the number of deaths, most of which are not registered in official COVID-19 statistics because of a lack of testing and bureaucratic delays. Manaus, the capital of Amazonas state, is a bustling port where soybeans, timber, fish and other products are shipped down the Amazon River. It's also a major cocaine trafficking hub, notorious for daily homicides and prison massacres. Yet the coronavirus has introduced a new kind of horror. The Nossa Senhora Aparecida cemetery has begun using backhoes to dig mass graves. This has become "the only option" because it is "humanly impossible" to dig the required number of graves, says Viana, who runs a funeral company and is president of the Syndicate of Funeral Businesses in Amazonas. According to Viana, the city's daily average of deaths has risen from 30 to more than 100. The mayor's office confirmed to NPR that there have been 340 burials just in the past three days. In most cases, the cause of death was listed as unknown, said a city hall spokeswoman. City authorities are in little doubt that COVID-19 victims account for most of the spike. This means the virus is taking a far deadlier toll on Manaus than the official count of 172 virus-related deaths suggests. The reported death toll throughout Brazil is 3,313. Video footage has appeared online showing the collapse of Manaus' burial services and public hospitals. In one, corpses lie on beds in a hospital alongside live patients undergoing treatment. Another shows a line of vans waiting to deliver bodies for burial at the Nossa Senhora Aparecida cemetery. Viana says that in some cases — perhaps through fear of infection — families are not coming forward to claim the bodies of their relatives. "That is something I honestly have never seen in Manaus before, " he says. Often, those who do claim their dead are unable to mourn properly because of tight restrictions on the number of people at graveside gatherings. "Seeing those families being unable to come to bid farewell or pray is heartbreaking," says Viana. "I have been in this business for more than 30 years. We never thought we would encounter a situation like this." The city's mayor, Arthur Virgílio Neto, says Manaus is experiencing "a calamity." He has appealed for help from Brazil's federal government and leaders of the G-20 nations. Fears are growing that deaths will surge next month when coronavirus infections are predicted to peak. The governor of Amazonas has warned that the state could face "a very serious problem in the next 10 to 15 days."
There are only 12 countries in the world with more than 37,000 Coronavirus totals, and we did that in one day. Today was our highest daily total, yet all we hear from the wreckless people led by Trump's is to start easing up restrictions and reopening businesses.

Made me think of that Chris Rock album... "Chris Rock : And you like, hey, calm the **** down! And their was a lot of accepted racism when the war started. It was accepted. "I'm American man, I'm American. **** all these foreigners!" And that was cool. "I'm American man, I'm American. **** the French!" That was cool. "I'm American man, I'm American. **** all these Arabs!" And that was cool. Then they went to "I'm American man, I'm American. **** all these illegal aliens!" Then I started listening. Cause I know *****s and Jews is next. It's like any day now. That train's never late."
Many more are visa overstays, deliberately gaming the system. Smart move by the govt, don't reward people for playing you like a fool.
569K+ visa overstays, per the DHS. https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/f...scal_year_2018_entry_exit_overstay_report.pdf But no, I don't understand how or why you can deny benefits to a US citizen, no matter what the status of their spouse.
Yeah, it's called enabling criminal activity. Sweeping real issues under the rug. There is a legal immigration process that many successful citizens have been a part of, and they're free to wait in line like these citizens did. If it's too long, that's too bad, and that's modern life in a time when resources are limited. Entitlement is a huge problem. If only liberals could be straight forward about this, they would win back so many of those who switched over to Trump in 2016.
So this is true for spouses of all blue and white collar criminals with pending warrants and charges?
If you feel so strongly about this, do your part as an American citizen and start boycotting anything produced or has had any part of illegal immigrant labor. This includes perhaps all restaurants, all produce, the home you live in, the streets you drive on and so on. I'm pretty sure you need to leave the state of Texas and be very careful as to what state you move to as illegal immigrant labor has a hand in many states. All anti illegal immigrant proponents should do this, but how many have? My guess is ZERO. Don't half ass your beliefs, do something about it instead of winning like a little girl on message boards. Maybe move to Georgia where they have passed bills such as HB 87 to take a very hard stance against illegal immigrants. The result, hundreds of millions due to unharvested crops. They even tried to get prisoners to work after Americans said he'll no to those jobs.
Forced labor for prisoners is a great job. 8 hours a day is not harsh at all. Don't keep playing the victim and making excuses for criminals hoping oh well... it'll work out. It did for 18th century immigrants. It's 2020 and that kind of open border policy is in no way sustainable. The farmhands get paid more, and legal Americans will take up that job if so, corporations get less of a cut from mass produced nutritionless food. That's what you should be campaigning for , not feeding a broken system. Sorry intelligent opinions offend you, there's always Kanye.
