You might remember a bit of hoopla over illegal immigrants getting $1,400 stimulus checks, but the media shut it down. It started with Senator Dick (appropriate name) Durbin commenting on the Senate floor that republicans, especially Senator Cruz, was lying about this because they're anti-immigration. He then went on Twitter to make the same claims about Cruz and the republican party. He said that it's an absolute lie those illegal immigrants would be receiving checks because they don't have social security numbers. And of course, after this, the usual media outlets discussed and/or wrote articles about how bad the republicans are with a special focus on Cruz.
But, not so fast. Fact checkers came in and blew up their lies yet none of them came back to admit they were wrong. We have around 12 million illegal immigrants who are here off of expired work visas. According to the IRS database, 60% of this group qualified for the democrats' $1,400 stimulus checks. This was verified in an internal audit.
Do you think that Senator Durbin and other democrats along with the mainstream media, accidentally got it wrong? Of course not! They lie with impunity, and this is one of our nation's greatest problems. Even after given the chance on the Senate Floor to apologize to Cruz, Durbin refused to do so and lied yet again about his back-up information to which Cruz got back up and shot down all Durbin's additional lies. And we're the deplorables?
