President Obama and Donald Trump see immigration differently. The President’s aggressive executive action on immigration is still being litigated, and Mr. Trump proposes action of a different kind. In the meantime, tax credits and refunds for illegal immigrants have become controversial. Mr. Trump says illegal immigrants get $4.2 billion in tax credits. He can point to a 2011 audit by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. It confirms that individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States were paid $4.2 billion in refundable credits.

Yep, 4 billion towards the wall will pay dividends many times over in other savings. We spend many tens of billions supporting the illegals.
Don’t ILLEGALS get paid in CASH ???
I think you have pointed out the root of the US financial mess. Start with President Wilson ,though matters go back further as to European money masters, and his effort for a League of Nations along with bringing in a Austrian/German financier to create the Federal Reserve which isn’t a truly/really US bank. Then search out what US persons/entities that helped establish and propagate such.
“Well, this explains where half of the eight billion comes from that the clowns on FNC said the illegal contribute to our “conomy” each year. I wonder where they get the other half.”
That comment is attributable to Whorealdo, butt buddy to Whore-hay.
That’s what i meant
“And they probably send most of the money back to Mexico. Still think Trump’s not conservative enough?!?”
Remittances to Mexico alone are the second largest source of income for the Mexican Government. Trump said he would start taxing that money (or confiscate it if he can).
I've listened to nearly all of his speeches, at least the ones available on YouTube, and I've never heard him suggest anything like that.
I'd appreciate a source so I can see that for myself.
You answered your own question when you mentioned Boehner and McConnell.
Trump plans to stop remittances. “Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages.” (fortune.com)
That's not true, and you really need to quit posting it. If you truly believe it, then keep that demoralizing, destructive thought to yourself.
Such talk is poison here.
Its no wonder illegals love bozo..and its no wonder bozo don’t love us like Trump... Trump/ Palin for me
He talks about it....BUT....what is he going to do about it? Need an exact answer from him.
At this point I am for taking every last cent spent on illegal aliens and directing those funds to wall building.
I want a freakin’ spectacular wall, and I do not want even a single illegal alien, so let’s git to it.
As much as I like Palin, she's damaged goods. Cruz would be my first choice and Carson probably second. Palin would make a good Sec of Energy or the Interior.
$4 billion is chump change.
71% of illegals with children collect benefits costing $113 billion a year in the US.
EITC and child tax credits are NOT refunds, they are direct transfers of cash from our pockets to theirs. Some of these folks get upwards of $7-$8K. Then of course there is all the other public benefits..... yeah, pure bullshit that these people give more than they take.
BTTT
Not all. Many are on payrolls (fake ss numbers) and do pay taxes.
But since they are illegal to begin with it makes no difference to me.
Thanks for posting this. I was going to.
It is one of the many things that blow me away.
