Lou Dobbs alert: Illegal immigrants may get rebates

In their bipartisan zeal to quickly cut a deal on an economic stimulus bill, GOP lawmakers overlooked something that will certainly inflame the conservative base _ illegal immigrants could receive a tax rebate check from the government.

I cannot in good conscience sign on to this convoluted “Rebate” nonsense. It strikes me as being needlessly complicated. A more streamlined approach would be to simply toss fistfuls of paper currency out from hovering helicopters.

The Friends on Fox were outraged over this today...they suggested that their buddies at CNN make this a question at the debate tonight.

Rush just ended his show with this headline and then said—have a wonderful day!

Make the Illegals pick up their checks at a specific location, then put them on a bus and deport them.

"...They are killing 25 of us every day..."

It always amazes at how upset people get over 911 yet are completely clueless that several thousand American citizens are killed each year by illegals, and no one seems to care. Kill us one or two at a time and it is OK...

That’s fine so long as the price of the ticket home is deducted from the rebate for ILLEGALS.

If it were a true tax cut, we would not be having this problem. The aliens would get their tax cut, but they don’t pay their taxes anyway. The way they’ve got it written, they get the refund check because it has nothing to do with taxes in the first place.

Do American Citizen Child Support Paying Non-Custodial Fathers get a Rebate?

You are not alone...I am so sick of feeling helpless while watching our America get dumped like yesterdays garbage. When I think that we conservatives held both Houses and the POTUS in several recent years, yet we are in this mess, it makes me angry, and sad...more sad.

Well at least Ensign’s trying to fix the problem. It’s probably too late, though. I cannot believe this immigration issue has turned in the ginormous hairball it is. This one falls squarely on the shoulders of the ‘94 Republican majority for not addressing the issue 15 years ago and on GWB for not having the stones to do it years ago.

Yep, this SOB will stab all those who vote for him in the back the first chance he gets.

I am going to sit back and watch, buy a bunch of popcorn, a listen to them whine.

And when it hits McCane’s desk he’ll gleefully sign it and open the borders even more.

“In summary, my immediate enforcement priorities at DHS focus on five tasks:

• First, we will undertake transformational investment in technology and infrastructure.

• Second, we will work with Congress to staff effectively these enhanced enforcement efforts.

• Third, we will end the policy of catch and release.

• Fourth, we will implement more robust interior enforcement.

• Fifth, we will coordinate better with our federal, state, local and international partners to improve immigration enforcement overall.

These steps will significantly deter illegal immigration. Moreover, they will greatly improve border security.”
Michael Chertoff, 2005

Oh, and Sixth, we will give them—cash American—more money than they make in a year in Meheeco in order to confuse the living s*** out of them. I know that may not seem to make any sense, but we’re the federal government and, as always, we’re here to help.

Well, my wife and I will not receive a dime while the illegal invaders will get a nice rebate check. We will fall about $700 below the necessary $3000 limit necessary to receive rebate.

It's the same with the property tax refunds that will be issued by my county in IN. Since we filed a homestead exemption we get nothing back. Doesn't make any difference that we pay taxes on 3 parcels of land in the county. Others will get refunds but all we got was a notice that the county had raised the appraisal on one of my vacant lots. Guess the value is more since that is where I grow my garden.
