The EITC started out as a way to assist low income wage earners WITH CHILDREN and reward them for their work It LOWERED their tax burden. It has over the years morphed into an income redistribution program available to many more than were ever intended, as indicated by your figures. This is the same thing that they have done to Social Security. We have been heading toward socialism for a long time and these programs are the means by which they hope to take us there.

Sorry cannot have it both ways. Sen Session cannot claim he "knows" how many illegals are getting Government Assistance but cannot tell us with an assured how many Illegals are here. Earlier we were told we could not make any claims about the Economic Benefits because we could not quantify the numbers involved.

If Sen Session KNOWS how many people are collecting Govt Benefits illegally, Why are they still collecting them? In addition to Illegal Immigration that would be Welfare Fraud which we do seriously prosecute. Again, the arguments being advanced are taken on faith based on the person's personal position on the issue.

Simply nonsense to make claims that x% of illegals do this or that when you cannot even qualify the total number of illegals.
