Firebrand socialist democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) expressed outrage that illegal aliens were not included in the emergency benefits of the bipartisan bill meant to relieve the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

Ocasio-Cortez tweeted her dissent on Thursday to her 6.6 million followers on Twitter.

"To clarify, $1200 checks are ONLY going to some w/social sec numbers, NOT immigrants w/ tax IDs (ITINs). Thanks to GOP, these checks will be cut off the backs of *taxpaying immigrants,* who get nothing.

"Many are essential workers who pay more taxes than Amazon. Wall St gets $4T," she added.

She went on in a second tweet to claim that the Republicans were holding people hostage.

"What Trump [and] Senate GOP have done is hold hospitals, working people, and the vulnerable hostage so they could get in $500 billion (that will be leveraged into $4T) in corporate welfare. Without the Wall St giveaway, GOP refuses to fund hospitals & unemployment. It's inhumane," she tweeted.

Studies show that illegal aliens pay as much as $13.6 billion in federal taxes, and about $12 billion in social security taxes through payroll deductions. Many illegal aliens choose to pay taxes as a consequence of the chance to work at all in the U.S., while others do so in hopes of securing legal residence later.

Other studies, however, show that the annual burden of the social services paid for illegal aliens in the U.S. amount to far more than what they contribute in taxes.

New Russian "Glide Bombs" Proving Highly Effective As Summer Offensive Begins A new weapon (outfitted using old weapons) has been used increasingly by Russia in the past two months and it's proving to be highly effective as the Russian forces in Ukraine ramp up what looks to be the beginning of a long anticipated summer offensive.  Dubbed the "glide bomb," they are actually Soviet era FAB bombs retrofitted with glide technology and rudimentary laser/GPS guidance.  The FABs can weigh up to 6600 pounds and have a deadly shrapnel radius of at least 200 yards.  The glide bombs are launched from Russian air assets well away from Ukrainian anti-aircraft positions and the weapons "glide" up to 40 miles to front line targets with relative precision.  The cost of retrofitting FAB bombs is far cheaper than building modern laser guided weapons like ATACMS.  The bombs give Russia the ability to provide air support to offensive troops without p...
