Illegals are not “undocumented immigrants”.

Yeah - and if I rob a bank and they let me spend the money for a few years then come in and take the rest of it, it would hurt me too......except I’d be in jail instead of running free and howling about the meanies....

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.

Here's a thought: if you live in wretched poverty or are barely able to make ends meet, don't have children that you can't afford. Since the people in question can't or won't figure this out, at the very least, put an end to policies that incentivize the indigent (especially immigrant indigents) to have yet more children.

With any luck, this tax policy will encourage millions of illegals squatting here to self-deport.

Policies like this one are the perfect response to the dishonest, hand-wringing idiots who say that we shouldn't even try deporting illegals because it's not logistically or financially feasible.
