It is hard for me to blame the illegals for taking the money if we are dumb enough to give it away.
This is a matter which needs to be corrected NOW!!!
We in the defense realm are chewing our nails wondering if sequestration is going to hit or not. Americans everywhere are wondering if they’re going to have a job next month or not. Everyone else is wondering when the economy is going to crash and burn.
WTF are these people getting ANYTHING from our government???
I feel I’m living in some twilight zone anymore.
Though illegal immigrants are prohibited from receiving similar tax credits, a quirk in the law allows them to qualify. And it's a "refundable" credit, meaning illegals can reap the money -- with average checks totaling about $1,800 -- even if they've paid no taxes.

In my line of work I see lots of tax returns of Hispanics and blacks.....this is an epedimic that the general public really doesn’t know about....and the government has been turning a blind eye for years. I see tax returns that are so blatantly fraudulent its not even funny any more....listing nephews, nieces, people in Mexico, dogs, etc....I saw a return the other day where a Hispanic got a $5000 “earned income tax credit” on $19,000 in income with no taxes paid.....he listed something like 8 dependents.
