The budget reconciliation package pushed by Democrats creates a new expanded child tax credit (CTC) that would pay illegal immigrants some $10.5 billion next year. All immigrants with children are eligible, regardless of how they got here and whether their children are U.S.-born. This includes the roughly 600,000 unaccompanied minors and persons in family units stopped at the border in FY2021 and released into the country pending a hearing. Cash welfare to illegal immigrants is not just costly; it also encourages more illegal immigration.
Although it is referred to as a “refundable credit,” the new CTC, like the old additional child tax credit (ACTC) it replaces, pays cash to low-income families who do not pay any federal income tax. The new program significantly increases the maximum cash payment from $1,400 per child to $3,600 for children under 6, and to $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17. After 2022, the maximum payment would be $2,000 per child, but advocates hope the much larger payments will be extended.
In an analysis conducted in October, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I estimated that illegal immigrants with U.S.-born children would receive $8.2 billion from the new CTC. However, we had assumed that the new program, like the old ACTC, would require children claimed as dependents to have Social Security numbers (SSNs). But reconciliation (page 1452, line 14) would permanently repeal this requirement.

And you get to pay for it.
Felons get $150 billion in housing grants ...

Kill it, period.
Using DC math ... had they invested in an $8 billion wall when Trump was POTUS, the country could have saved $2.5 billion in payments to (buy future votes from) illegal immigrants (to change GOP states to demonkkkrap states).
In contrast, a 100%-disabled military veteran with a spouse and one child gets $3,591.11 per month.
Nothing says Demon Rats like paying off criminal invaders. The scary part is how many fellow Americans vote for these lying, deghenerate, anti-Constitution devils. I am afraid our we the people Republic is in itys death throes.
Time to start the hangings.
Why are invaders being rewarded?... They will be taught to vote ... for ONLY demon rats.
