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.

The executive was required to give notice. This was to prevent exactly what is happening.

I think it was xz who found it, maybe it was a different poster.

Well, it’s come to pass. We now live in a nation where the citizen is taxed without representation and the illegal is represented without taxation.

That’s a very good observation.

Politicians are, if nothing else, passionate about self-preservation. I wish the constituents of Republican Congressmen would ask their representatives about the issue raised in your post.

there should be classes for we hard working tax paying idiots to learn how to scam the system with as much ease as the sloths, the illegals, the drugged, drunk, welfare mommies and daddies and everybody else getting handouts from OUR tax money...

I really want to learn to do it....I'll deal with my conscience over time....I'll get over it...

Why does that matter?

I don't agree with giving "free" money to welfare people either but am outraged at giving to illegal aliens.
