1,600 Illegal Immigrants, Including Known Criminals Arrested in Only 3 Days at Border
Undocumented workers in New York who lost their jobs during the Covid-19 pandemic will soon be able to receive money from a $2.1 billion fund established by New York state legislators this week. Since the undocumented workers are not legal citizens of the U.S., they were not able to receive federal stimulus checks, unemployment aid, or other benefits.
Many lost their jobs across the country but New York saw some of the strictest lock-down orders, forcing many to leave flee the city and destroying businesses in the process.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, essential workers across the state risked their lives to keep our state moving and our families safe,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, a Democrat, said in a statement. “When unemployment rates skyrocketed last summer, many of those selfless workers were excluded from any type of federal assistance during this pandemic and we must take care of all New Yorkers.”
People can receive up to $15,600 total; taxes will be deducted before they receive the money. Workers won’t be eligible unless they were making less than $26,208 in the 12 months prior to the bill taking effect and unless they can prove they can still work. People must show a valid taxpayer number and a letter from an employer, along with other papers, to get the maximum payments.
People who can’t meet the more stringent documentation requirements can still receive a $3,200 payment, provided they prove their identity and residency.
Approximately 290,000 people will get money from the fund, according to the Fiscal Policy Institute.
Citizens Budget Commission President Andrew Rein said, “despite having $22 billion more in funds available over the next two years than when the governor proposed the budget in January, leaders agreed to raise personal income and business taxes and to use some portion of federal funds to inflate spending that likely cannot be supported in the out-years.”
In a video message from Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt, he said, “Rather than helping families, veterans, teachers, and senior citizens, the Democrats in Albany have made it their priority to push their radical agenda by giving a $2.1 billion taxpayer giveaway to illegal immigrants. Instead of giving people a reason to remain here in our state, this budget drives ever more families, seniors, and young New Yorkers away.”
