New York just announced a $2.1 billion fund to give one-time payments of $15,600 to illegal immigrants who lost work during the pandemic. This comes after New York begged the federal government for bailout money because they could not afford relief for their citizens. Your taxpayer dollars are now footing the bill for a $2.1 billion fund solely for illegal immigrants in New York.

Based on our recent polling, 3 in 4 Americans agree “it’s unfair for illegal immigrants to get social services ahead of American citizens.”

Here’s the breakdown of who agrees:

57% of Democrats
73% of Independents
89% of Republicans
69% of Hispanics

This is why Heritage Action so strongly opposed bailouts for state governments. Taxpayers from across the country paid into a system that was supposed to aid in pandemic recovery, but now is putting illegal aliens ahead of American citizens.
