Trump Wants to Use $300 Billion for Stimulus Checks

President Donald Trump is ready to send out stimulus checks to millions of people, but on Friday he rejected the possibility of undocumented immigrants receiving a payment.

Undocumented immigrants were largely ineligible for the first round of economic impact payments, a provision Democrats sought to correct with a relief package of their own. Under the HEROES Act, which passed the House in May, certain undocumented immigrants would be eligible for the second round, as well as a retroactive payment from the CARES Act that passed in March.

Trump told reporters during Friday’s briefing that the government has $300 billion that he’s willing to use for another round of stimulus checks. But payments won’t be given to “illegal aliens.”

“They came into the country illegally, and now we give them a check?” Trump said. “We want to give the checks to the American people.” (Read more from “Trump Wants to Use $300 Billion for Stimulus Checks” HERE)
