House Democrats’ coronavirus package includes ‘amnesty’ for some illegal immigrants, critics say

The $3 trillion coronavirus relief package released by House Democrats this week includes protections for illegal immigrants who work in jobs declared “essential” — a move that Republicans are blasting as an attempt at “amnesty.”

The mammoth bill includes a section on page 1,737 on “temporary protections for essential critical infrastructure workers.”

It is not the only part of the legislation that helps those in the country illegally. The legislation also expands the next round of stimulus checks to include those who file taxes via an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) — rather than just a Social Security number.

This would allow those checks to go to illegal immigrants, who are not eligible for a Social Security number and were therefore excluded from the last round of checks.
