So we the people are giving them (allegedly) $1000 instead of the multiple thousands that they could have produced for the economy. Sounds like that will definitely make us greater. 🤦
So, like, I get your point and all, but think of this: American will be less brown! We're cutting our nose to whiten our face!

They won't be getting a 1000 dollars, but they will get a free flight to the nearest concentration camp. It's a trap.
I'm not sure about this actually. The administration is obsessed with cutting costs even by illegal means. So this may actually be followed it is cheaper than detaining people.
Definitely sounds like a trap.
(What follows is a slightly unrelated anecdote.) I knew a guy who was a tax preparer back in 2009 when Obama put out the “Making Work Pay” stimulus. You basically got a tax refund of like $400 per person if you met a pretty lenient criteria.
Well, my buddy told me that during the 2009 tax season, he would constantly have people coming into his office trying to file taxes, but they hadn’t filed in a few years. After hours of getting their paperwork together and running through the tax schedules for each year, the tax payer would find out that they owed thousands of dollars in back payments. Rather than file their taxes and paying the delinquent taxes, they would just say “yeah, all I wanted was the $400” and just walk out.
I’m sure the IRS cleaned up that year if anyone who owed was bold enough to actually file.
