White House Confirms Support for Stimulus Checks for Citizens Born to Undocumented Immigrants
On 2/9/21 at 5:12 PM EST
A controversial vote by eight SenateDemocrats against stimulus benefits for undocumented immigrants last week forced the White House to clarify its own stance in favor of checks for the U.S. citizen children of undocumented parents Tuesday.
The controversy on the left began when eight Democrats voted in favor of an amendment from Republican Indiana Senator Todd Young included in the COVID relief package. Some of the Democratic senators who voted for the provision included Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper, Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, and Arizona Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, all of whom benefitted from the votes and organizing of Latino voters and immigration groups during their respective elections.

The second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump is bringing back college memories for Angi Stalnaker and a lesson she learned from a beloved political science professor at the University of Alabama.
She recalled her professor, Bill Stewart, writing down the names of the Republican and Democratic senators who, prior to the 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, indicated how they would vote before the trial started. Those who did have their minds made up beforehand, Stalnaker recalls Stewart saying, “violated their oaths.”

The same people who have locked down the nation and endorsed the idea of sending armed police to break up Thanksgiving dinners are moving with lightning-fast speed to eliminate those who oppose their anti-American agenda by redefining dissent as terrorism.
The brief occupation of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters and Antifa provocateurs has opened a box of horrors with the most fascistic policy proposals spilling out as Dems sense an opportunity to permanently put America under one-party rule.
From the minute that establishment puppet Joe Biden declared that those who stormed the Capitol were domestic terrorists and insurrectionists, the Rahm Emanuel principle of never letting a good crisis “go to waste” has been used with a flurry of oppressive and dangerous new laws set to be rolled out.
