Republican Senator Ted Cruz said Saturday that he has offered an amendment to the proposed $1.9 trillion CPC viral bailout bill that would not allow $1,400 per person bailout subsidies to be given to illegal immigrants, but the amendment was opposed by Democrats.
Senator Cruz made the announcement on Facebook on March 6, citing a post from the Senate Republican Cloakroom Facebook account, with 49 votes in favor and 50 against, Cruz’s amendment was rejected by the Democrats. Cruz wrote on Facebook that Democrats just voted against my amendment that would have prevented handing out American taxpayer money in the form of a $1,400 stimulus check to illegal immigrants.

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Friday, Cruz said, “Not only does this CCP viral bailout bill fail to address the real needs of the American people who are suffering, but it will also disburse billions of taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants.”
The amendment, Senator Cruz’s office said, would save American citizens nearly $8 billion.
Cruz said, “Congress should unite and pass this amendment to stop handing out subsidies to illegal immigrants, and we need to stand up for the American people and get our kids back in school and reopen our small businesses.”
