No checks go to illegals. The checks go to US citizens who were denied checks merely because they are married to a noncitizen (note, illegal or not).
The government doesn't get to discriminate based upon who you marry and would have been forced to give the checks out next year as they were struggling to fight this in court.
Not a fan of illegal immigrants in the slightest. By all means come to America legally, and I will welcome legal immigrants greatly, but illegal immigration is selfish, it is ILLEGAL, and should not be allowed. I am not a fan of those associated with illegals getting checks either. Noncitizens shouldn’t be allowed to stay either.
Thats pretty antithetical to the first amendment and fourteenth amendment - we don't punish citizens for who they decide to marry in this country. That's their free choice.
Edit: a practical reason not to, let's say the government decides to disincentivize white marriages (or any other race, for that matter). Should they be allowed to withhold benefits and essential services from white (or any other race) families? I don't trust the state with eugenics power.
The government shouldn’t be handing out “free” money. Hell, the government shouldn’t take so damn much in the first place. Taxation is theft, and many illegals don’t pay, so why are they, and anyone associated allowed to put their hands in the pot so to speak. Illegal immigration is a crime, and as far as I’m concerned when you commit a crime (at least one that harms others and should legitimately be a crime) you surrender your rights.
