vote on ted cruz amendment banning undocumented immigrants from getting stimulus checks

[orleans]

ted got up and said that was in the bill, etc.

durbin got up and said that was an UNTRUTH and cruz was saying this to rile people up. durbin said they don't have social security numbers and there is nothing in the bill to give them stimulus checks

maybe if cruz had sat his fucking ass down and listen while it was being read the other night he could have learned something? (doubt it--he's thick as a brick)

anyway, they're voting on the cruz amendment now
