AOC Blasts Coronavirus Stimulus Bill For Not Doing Enough To Help Immigrants

AOC, however, believes that the bill, which is designed to provide financial relief to Americans, does not do enough to assist non-resident aliens.
Under the stimulus law, non-resident aliens with federal tax IDs are not eligible for direct payments of $1,200. These non-resident aliens are classified as people who currently reside in the United States to work, but are not permanent residents. Ocasio-Cortez criticized President Trump, claiming without evidence that the administration is holding the American citizen hostage in order to assist various corporations.
