The tax bills passed by the House and the now the Senate include slightly more generous benefits for parents. Unless their children are undocumented immigrants.
Currently, non-citizens filing taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or ITIN, are allowed to claim the child tax credit, which gives back up to $1,000 per child under age 17. In tax year 2013, according to the Government Accountability Office, 4.4 million ITIN filers claimed child tax credits worth $6 billion.
Under both the House and Senate versions of the Republican tax bill, ITIN filers most of whom are undocumented would need to provide Social Security numbers for each child in order to claim the refundable part of the credit, which kicks in when the credit exceeds the filer's total tax liability. The Senate version would require an Social Security number for the regular credit as well.
According to Samantha Vargas Poppe of the Latino advocacy group UnidosUS, the change would directly impact about a million undocumented children. But it could also hurt those born in the United States whose non-citizen siblings are no longer eligible for the credit. That income hit would impact the whole family.

Always count on CNN to advocate for the lawless.
I’d like to see them concerned about Americans who lost nearly everything or DID lose everything under the Obama pResidency.
How’s about that for a change, eh?
The $1,000 CTC is slated to rise to $1,600.
You are already supposed to have a SS# to claim the CTC.
The difference in the two bills is over the refundable part. It is how baby mommas come to be, thinking it is “free” money for each child.
I can't imagine why ANY citizen would use an ITIN, unlike the articles’ use of the word “mostly”.
It will increase the number of babies born in the US to even higher levels, if the mommas think that it gets around this rule.
Go home, you have a country, go there, stop trying to screw this one up.
What part of “Criminal illegal alien non citizens are not entitled to US taxpayer money” does CNN not get?
Im sure Ryno & McTurtle will make sure that revision is reversed in conference.
Good!
Screw the criminal crotch fruit.
They should all go home.
Gee,that’s too bad. (Sob !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

How about this. Require undocumented immigrants to pay a monthly fine that progressively increases. Also, require them to be registered like many gun owners and voters
I don’t shive a git.
I am too busy worrying about how crummy California schools have become, due to excessive numbers of children that don't speak English.

Does anyone at CNN think before think before they write these articles? No, I guess they don't.
And the problem is?

[They arent entitled to ANY AMERICAN tax payer money. PERIOD.]
Just a slight modification.
If they can get money in their home countries, it’s O.K. by me.
I barely survived the Obama pResidency. So let’s have America help Americans. How about that idea, CNN?
Wow this tax bill is tje gift that keeps on giving.
“Undocumented immigrants” shouldn’t be here! DUH!
This news makes me ecstatic.
