used frequently, though not exclusively, by unauthorized immigrants to pay the taxes because they are not eligible for Social Security numbers. The I.R.S. accepts their tax payments and allows families to claim the child tax credit regardless of immigration status. This policy is an effective antipoverty tool that protects children, most of whom are American-born citizens.

First, I reject the distortion of the English language in the two words “unauthorized immigrants”, and the follow on premise that most of their children “are American-born citizens”. An Illegal Alien cannot give birth to an American born citizen, another false and deadly premise that needs to be outed by sanity and common sense.

With that in mind, Republican tactics need to focus on the profligate spending above and beyond our means, that is THE problem in DEE CEE. Until there is a budget, the spending continues unabated and uncontrolled. Well maybe not uncontrolled as we know precisely who is controlling it.

The same bunch that in over a thousand days, has not produced a budget.

About 80 percent of those families are Hispanic.

If illegals are going to come here to "hardwork", they should pay their "fair share". The taxpayers shouldn't be paying them.

Don’t forget the un- “earned income credit”. That’s where you can get up to $5,700 of tax return dollars for income you didn’t earn so were never taxed on.

The taxpayer identification numbers are used frequently, though not exclusively, by unauthorized immigrants to pay the taxes because they are not eligible for Social Security numbers.

It is ILLEGAL for illegal aliens to work in this country and it is ILLEGAL for employers to hire them. Why should they be receiving tax credits? This is Alice in Wonderland stuff.

Great news! They need to do more of this stuff. Maybe if they make it “unpopular and unfruitful” the illegals will stop coming.

And to all the silly-puddy liberals in this country who are always crying over the unfortunate ILLEGAL immigrants in this country, let me tell you my opinion - IF those illegals who have given birth to children in American (thus claiming anchor baby status) really, truly want to be an American then turn yourself in and get in line to pledge your allegiance to America.

Tell ‘em to talk to Carlos Slim Helu, since the US just gave him almost $3 Billion taxpayer dollars. They can take it out of his stash.

Families that would be cut off by this policy change make an average of $21,000 per year, according to the Treasury Department.

Fixed it:

Families that would be cut off by this policy change report an average of $21,000 per year on the bogus ITNs, according to the Treasury Department.
