Republicans say Obama giving immigrants 'amnesty bonuses' ($24,000)

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....

From the article: “ It is, however, a complicated program to administer that generates a significant amount of improper payments, according to the IRS’s own estimates.

Once the immigrants in Obama’s program get Social Security numbers, they can file tax returns claiming the EITC, as long as they meet the income requirements and can document their earnings.”

they won’t release the context of it until after congress passes it, like the ACA. And that has turned out so well for the American people.

...

Some, but the majority of Republicans can’t wait to fund it.

...um, the government doesn't give money without CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL first.

Since you guys in Congress want to stop him so badly, why don't you?

Why not print this questionaire up encircle your answers and send it to your US Senator

Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .

Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .

Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ?

In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .

I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)

Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)

Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government

The thieving, lying bastards down at Soetoro’s IRS have no business giving those thieving bastards from south of the border a penny. It is not the thieving bastard’s money to give away.

how do i become an illegal living in the US?

break all the laws, no fear of imprisonment and i’d get free $$ whenever 0bama declares amnesty for me

sounds like a sweet deal

(also sounds like someone is sending out the word to attract more illegals to the country. $24k is a huge amount in all countries south of the border)

So illegals aren’t set to get this money?

That's what the headline is crafted to convey, imho.

Explain the “truth”.

I wouldn't put it past the administration if they took it straight out of American's bank accounts....which I guess is what they aim to do.
