This Fox News headline: “Illegal Immigrant Taxpayers to Benefit from House-Approved Stimulus Plan”

The story continues, “Under the plan passed by the House, illegal immigrants who qualify as ‘resident ailens’ and earned a minimum of $3,000 would be eligible for rebates of between $300 and $600 FOX News has learned.”

“Resident Ailens are defined as people who spend a ‘substantial’ amount of time in the U. S. and have not been deported” they explain.

This bill passed the House by a vote of 385-35 and is supported by President Bush.

This bill also DENIES payment of the bonuses to most US citizens who are retirees on Social Security.

Let me get this straight. Our US House of Representatives wants to reward illegal immigrants with economic stimulus bonuses but deny those same payments to US citizens trying to survive on Social Security benefits alone.
