Millions of immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama’s executive actions could get a windfall from the IRS, a reversal of fortune after years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving.
Armed with new Social Security numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S. illegally will now be able to claim up to four years’ worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that’s a maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings during those years.
Some Republicans are labeling the payments “amnesty bonuses,” one more reason they oppose Obama’s program shielding millions of immigrants from deportation. …

The opening sentence in this article is such absolute bullish*t.
If Republicans were a business, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.
They don’t produce results, accomplishments, or anything of value. Just lots of hot air and empty rhetoric. Yet the base keeps voting for them. Strange.

Taxpayers demand that the political and financial activities of The Congressional Hispanic Caucus be rigorously scrutinized.
We demand to know how often The Congressional Hispanic Caucus communicates w/ foreign governments.
<><> Was voter fraud an issue in CHC members' elections?
<><> How many illegals do they employ on Capitol Hill and in their districts?
<><> How many US govt checks are they and/or their employees cashing?
<><> Are any of the CHC employees agents of foreign govts?
<><> How many identities are their employees using?
The Bank Secrecy Act needs to be mobilized at once to determine any and all irregularities in the CHC's accounting practices........ and whether US tax dollars are being laundered and wire-transferred to foreign countries.

What are the Republicans going to do about it? My bet is nothing.
What are the Republicans going to do about it?
They will let Obama steal Tax payer money and give it to the World

You refile at your own risk. Many may become subject to payroll or self employment taxes and penalties. Employers who didn’t withhold may also face problems.
The whole EITC program is filled with fraudulent tax returns. It encourages people to work/employ part time and fill in the hours with cash employment that goes unreported. But nothing will change because it is popular with both parties. Even in my own extended family we have relatives playing this game with the help of their employers. It also generates identity theft because of the big refund with no payments made. It is madness. Then when the big check comes in they go off and buy a new big screen tv.
At this point, “both parties” is a misnomer when it comes to the Uniparty.
It’s like you are forced to pay Dish but are banned from getting Fox.
He is making sure that they know crime does pay.
You know the thing that pisses me of is listening to the GOP complain about Obama all the time they are giving him a wink and a nudge. The democrats are not the problem we know who they are. The GOP is the problem because they are such frauds and are doing nothing but deceiving the people.
The republicans are the bigger enemy of the people because they pretend otherwise....
“Some Republicans are labeling the payments “amnesty bonuses,””
What are they going to do about it?
perfect, lol
They will continue to function as the pretend opposition party.

Yep. A case could be made that they are not even a party. After all, what do they really stand for? Does anyone have any idea? And what do they do other than bloviate, posture, and then cave? That’s the only thing they are consistent at.
Many see it as a dysfunctional “organization” without a soul or purpose.
