THIS IS A TOTAL LIE!!!

Illegal immigrants are excluded, but legal immigrants are not excluded.

Section 2201 of the bill (full text here) states:

(d) ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUAL.—For purposes of this section, the term ‘eligible individual’ means any individual other than—

(1) any nonresident alien individual,

(2) any individual with respect to whom a deduction under section 151 is allowable to another taxpayer for a taxable year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual’s taxable year begins, and

(3) an estate or trust.

Nonresident alien means illegal immigrants and temporary visitors (tourists, students, seasonal workers, etc.). Green card holders are lawful permanent residents.

Exactly. You want to come here? Great! Please follow the law and do everything the way you're supposed to. It's really not that hard to follow the law.

Thank you I was wondering about that. I'm fine with legal immigrants getting help but illegals can go back to where they came from

I am a legal immigrant, and I assure you, I am excluded.
