Default Economic Stimulus Package Excludes Many Immigrant Families

Quote:
"Imagine an American soldier in Iraq whose foreign-born wife is waiting for an immigration petition to be approved and doesn't have a Social Security card. Now the couple can't even get a rebate," said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.. "That is really stupid."

Wow. They're actually trying to keep from giving away yet more of the American taxpayer's money to illegal immigrants and that pisses off a Democrat Congresswoman who wants to give illegals more free money?

WTF?

This is beyond retarded. If you're not a citizen, then you don't get money. Sorry.

Okay Mr. Wizard (who doesn't know the difference between Delaware and Wisconsin, btw), why don't you tell me what i got wrong? The government took steps to help ensure illegals didn't get the stimulus money. This causes a delay in processing people who aren't actually citizens and don't have an SSN. A Democrat congressbroad is whining about it.

What'd I miss, Mr. Wizard, what?

Operative words being "the couple".

There's no reason he can't get it--unless they still have the rule that soldiers in war zones don't have to pay taxes. But the foreign born (that's NOT A CITIZEN, wes) wife won't get American tax payer money, at least not right away.

Wes, you really need to take a deep breathe, and look at this logically.

I think you fail to understand the situation, if you are a US citizen and your wife is not , you are not eligible for that stimulus check .

Take a deep breath if you are an american soldier.You take it if you are not eligible for the gvt help.


Many Armed Forces members stationed overseas have foreign spouses who can't get Social Security numbers.
William Luong, stationed at a U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, said his fellow seamen resent that they've landed in the same category as illegal immigrants.

Well this is what it says :

"If a married couple files jointly and one spouse doesn't have a Social Security number, the couple won't get the $1,200 checks that other couples will receive."

It doesn't say whether the one person gets $600. You're assuming he doesn't but that's not clear.
