Dems eye Senate tool to pass COVID relief bill<\/h4>\n

‘Special Report’ anchor Bret Baier breaks down the new COVID relief bill, White House press briefing ethics, Vice President Kamala Harris’s West Virginia mistake, and more on ‘America Reports.’<\/p>\n

Senate Democrats on Thursday night indicated they supported sending direct payments to undocumented immigrants as the chamber waded through a lengthy process necessary to advance budget reconciliation measures.<\/p>\n

During what has become known as a vote-a-rama, which follows debate on a budget resolution measure, senators can bring forward germane, but nonbinding, amendments that must be disposed of before the majority party can move forward with their resolution.<\/p>\n

The amendments do not alter underlying legislation but can instead serve as a litmus test gauging for support of certain policies.<\/p>\n

A minority party may also use the vote-a-rama to force on the record votes on hot-button issues they wouldn\u2019t otherwise be able to get the chamber floor, which they can later wield as political weapons in coming campaign cycles.<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL TO FORCE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE ON PAYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, FUNDING SCHOOLS THAT REFUSE TO OPEN <\/strong><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Republicans forced Democrats on the record about stimulus check eligibility.<\/p>\n

Sens. Todd Young, R-Ind., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark., proposed an amendment that would prohibit any future economic impact payments from being sent to illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

“The Biden administration shouldn\u2019t reward illegal immigrants for breaking our laws by giving them checks,” Cotton said in a statement. “Instead of courting foreigners with U.S. taxpayer funds, President Biden should use that money to aid American schools, businesses, and families.”<\/p>\n

The amendment was adopted, but 42 lawmakers voted against it. All were Democrats, including two independents who caucus with the Democrats.<\/p>\n

As previously reported by Fox News, House Democrats proposed a bill toward the end of last year that included some illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n

President Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion relief legislation includes an additional round of $1,400 checks. A counterproposal brought forward by Republicans offers $1,000 checks, which would be more targeted to lower-income households.<\/p>\n

Biden has indicated that he is open to modifying the adjusted gross income thresholds to target the payments.<\/p>\n
