IRS to pay back-refunds to illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes
Thw Washington Times ^ | February 11, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress on Wednesday that even illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds once they get Social Security numbers under President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty.

The revelation — which contradicts what he told Congress last week — comes as lawmakers also raised concerns Mr. Obama’s amnesty could open a window to illegal immigrants finding ways to vote, despite it being against the law.

“While we may disagree about whether your deferred action programs were lawfully created and implemented, we are confident that we can all agree that these programs cannot be permitted to impair the integrity of our elections,” Republican members of Congress from Ohio wrote in a letter to Mr. Obama Wednesday, ahead of a hearing on the issue in the House on Thursday.

Mr. Obama’s new deportation policies, which carve most illegal immigrants out of danger of being removed, and could proactively grant as many as 4 million illegal immigrants work permits and Social Security numbers, are increasingly under fire for ancillary consequences such as tax credits and competition for jobs.

Mr. Koskinen, testifying to the House oversight committee, said the White House never asked him or anyone else at the IRS about the potential tax effects of his amnesty policy.

“I haven’t talked to the White House about this at all,” he said.

Koskinen says the WH never talked to him about this fiasco, why didn't he inform them?

He's every bit as much a liar as 0bama.

The EXEMPT Congress has given the “green light”
to every corrupt Agency.

Every one from the FCC to the IRS.

Throw that shape-shifting extraterrestrial Koskinen in prison. Hasn’t he LIED to Congress enough? He’s white, so holding him accountable for perjury shouldn’t be a problem.

Amen, it would be sweet to see Koskinen indicted, convicted and sentenced to a federal slammer.

Sounds like we need to invest in the “fast tax” offices that populate every street corner in the barrio starting each January.

The real abomination is that they didn’t have to pay anything in. As soon as they get bambam’s amnesty they can file for past earned income tax credits as long as they’re now working legally. *shaking head*

This amnesty program is about redistricting in 2020. With all the identities with documentation, the census will have to include the new inhabitants. Boundaries will be redraws in red states, taking precious republican votes away from safe seats, putting them into play, in order to balance out the new obama constituency. This program is designed to permanently steal the House.

And that percentage is getting smaller and smaller. It is what? 45 percent who pay taxes now. I am sick of writing a check every year an that is on top of what I get taken out of the checks. And now that our money is going to illegals just makes it that much worse.

And they are specifically EXEMPTED from the Obamacare tax penalty (for no insurance).

That is pure discrimination against the legal citizenry.
