  1. Jayapal, Menendez Introduce Bill to Eliminate Xenophobic Barriers to Healthcare, Nutrition Assistance, and Other Support Programs for Lawful Immigrants

    “Republicans’ “Big Bad Betrayal Bill,” H.R. 1, cut nearly $1 trillion from healthcare and $200 billion from nutrition assistance. Under the guise of “protecting” federal programs and to distract from these cuts, Republicans prohibited lawfully present immigrants from receiving certain federal benefits, including Medicaid and SNAP.”

3 rows here have the same law, recipient, purpose and amount as another row. The Congressional Record may print one item more than once. The count and the total include each row.

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.

These are records from public ad libraries, for advertisers tied to this member. We show an ad only after we save our own copy of it.

We have not saved our own copy of these 4 ads yet, so this page shows none of them. Cause: Google’s data file carries no words, picture or video of the ad.
