Warner's Plans Benefit Illegals

Mark Warner Would've Voted to Exclude Americans and Benefit Illegals

Alexandria - Former Governor Jim Gilmore made the following comments today regarding last night's Senate vote on the economic stimulus package:

"Today, the Senate finally passed a stimulus package that tightens language to ensure illegal aliens do not receive rebates. But last night, Senate Republicans narrowly blocked an attempt to end a filibuster which would have allowed the passage of a broader Democratic stimulus package that provided benefits to illegal aliens.

The Democrats fell short by one vote. If Mark Warner were Senator, we all know which way he would've voted -- with the Democrats. In effect, passing an economic stimulus package that benefited illegal aliens yet excluded American citizens, many of whom have served our nation."
