EDWIN PITTI: I had the opportunity yesterday to talk to Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, and he told me that they tried, until the very end, to try to include the undocumented in this package but the Republicans said no.
CRISTINA LONDOÑO: A disappointed Senator Bob Menendez told us that those benefits are for taxpayers who pay taxes but NOT for the undocumented.
BARBARA BERMUDO: Does this apply to immigrants or only to U.S. citizens?
RAFAEL MARRERO: It applies to anyone who is a permanent resident or (U.S.) citizen with a Social Security number, and that has their income taxes in order.
BERMUDO: I want to know: those who don't have papers, will they be able to get this money?
JANET ÁLVAREZ: Unfortunately not.
…
(Repeats) Unfortunately, they will not qualify for that assistance.
