Tlaib bill would give everyone $2G a month during pandemic, including illegal immigrants

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a member of the progressive "Squad," is pushing a bill that would give everyone in the U.S., including undocumented immigrants, $2,000 a month during the coronavirus crisis followed by $1,000 a month until a year after the coronavirus pandemic ends.

Tlaib and Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., reintroduced the Automatic Boost to Communities Act in the House of Representatives Tuesday.

The bill "would be funded directly from the Treasury with no additional debt issued by minting two $1 trillion coins, and additional coins as necessary," Tlaib and Jayapal said in a press release.
