(TJVNEWS.COM) The top Republicans on two House committees are pressing President Biden‘s coronavirus rescue plan czar Eugene Sperling to review the $2 billion fund New York created this week aimed at giving relief money to illegal immigrants in the state,” reports Fox News.

Budget Committee Ranking Member Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., and Oversight Committee Ranking Member Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to Sperling, whose official title is American Rescue Plan coordinator on Friday. In it, they ask him to investigate the New York program, which will offer one-time payments of up to $15,600 to undocumented immigrants who lost their jobs during the pandemic, adds Fox.

“Given the questions raised by the actions of the State of New York, we sincerely hope you will use your position to protect the integrity of American taxpayer dollars and put American families first,” Comer and Smith wrote.

“The $1.9 trillion spending plan enacted last month allocated monetary relief to states using a new biased formula that resulted in New York, and other states run by Democrat officials, receiving disproportionately more aid than in previous coronavirus relief bills,” they said.

“Coincidentally, the amount of additional federal dollars New York appears to be receiving because of the change in the funding distribution formula is exactly the same as this new fund for illegal immigrants – $2.1 billion,” the Republicans added.

In other words, all of the additional funds allocated to New York, which has been devastated by the pandemic, are going to individuals who are breaking federal laws as undocumented, instead of flowing additional funds to small businesses or infrastructure.

If the Republicans are correct on this estimate, New Yorkers should be enraged by their government who caved to the demands of a  fringe leftist amnesty group, who orchestrated a hunger strike recently by illegal immigrants for almost 3 weeks in NYC, as TJV previously reported
