The California state budget could extend a tax break to low-income families of undocumented immigrants.
Assembly Democrats want Gov. Jerry Brown to expand the state’s Earned Income Tax Credit in such a way that people who do not have Social Security numbers can apply for it.
The proposal is meant to help poor Californians recover some of their state income tax. Last year, a household with two children and an adjusted gross income of up to $22,309 would have been eligible for a tax credit. The maximum credit for a family of that size is $2,467, according to the Franchise Tax Board.
The Assembly plan would expand eligibility to people with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. They're tax-processing numbers the IRS uses to collect tax from people who do not have Social Security numbers.
"We believe all working Californians, including immigrants, should be able to afford life's basic needs — food, housing, health care and transportation," said Josh Fryday, president of CalEITC4Me, an organization that raises awareness about the tax credit.

Anybody who would be opposed to this is a white supremacist who hates little brown children. We must stand up to Donald Trump!! /s
Good. I’m all for it. The more perks illegals can get out of CA the less they’ll venture into other states.
Maybe ‘we’ can recruit new age vigilantes, hunt down the illegals and put them on 1st class flights and move them ALL to California.
Put enough of them there and MAYBE, just MAYBE, California will finally break off and fall into the sea and that Nevada (prospective) Oceanfront Property will be valuable again.
(Believe in the 60s or 70s it was predicted California would break off)
Time to bust Brecerra.
They should offer a bounty to anyone who turns over the database with names and addresses.
But they aren't Californians - they are foreign nationals living here illegally.
This is nuclear grade libtard libtard insanity.
It's nothing but thinly disguised wealth redistribution from citizens to illegal aliens.
good idea.
And build Trump's wall between CA and NV.
Cox advertising budget wont need to be very big.
Is this a back-door attempt by the state to get more illegals to file tax returns in the first place? And will the forms only be available in English?
How can people that already don’t pay taxes, get free medical, housing assistance and food stamps need a tax break? For the love of God how can legal Hispanics and Hispanic Americans not be outraged with democraps? How can Blacks not be outraged and up in arms with the democraps who have chose to gift illegals with their jobs and tax money?
The Earned Income Tax Credit is not a “refund of taxes paid”. It is a welfare check that usually greatly exceeds any small amount of taxes paid.

How do you “recover” something you’ve never paid?
What happened to the concept of ‘equal justice under the law’?
This is almost as dumb as the Mayor of Stockton’s plan to pay gang members a stipend. Stupid is as stupid does.
Not only no but HELL NO!
Democrats are doing a darn good job of ruining an otherwise beautiful state.
If it is so important to help these poor illegals why don’t they progressively shift high Government salaries and pensions, over some Bernieish “they don’t need it” level into welfare for illegals?
The GOP congress should pass a bill saying NO BAILOUTS FOR STATES THAT GO BANKRUPT
