Millions of workers in the US won't be getting stimulus checks

(CNN)Millions of workers aren't getting any help from the largest emergency aid deal in US history.

When stimulus checks start going out across the country, undocumented immigrants won't be receiving them.
That's not a surprise. They aren't eligible for most federal benefits.


But immigrant rights advocates say leaving this group out of the $2 trillion plan isn't merely a matter of dollars and cents, and it isn't something that only affects undocumented workers and their families. It's a dangerous decision, they argue, that puts the whole country's health at risk as the novel coronavirus spreads.


Critics counter that it's not the US government's place to bankroll someone who broke the law, and that as unemployment skyrockets, American workers should come first.
