Is this a great country or what!!!
What’s left of it that is.
It is already outrageous that we allow illegal aliens working for cash to collect this for their kids in the US..never mind the ones outside the US.
The politicians like this program because it allows them to report millions illegal aliens still file tax returns. And now we know why.
They are spitting out babies like wet watermelon seeds so they can get welfare and all the free government money and services they can get. More little rats, more cheese!
As a matter of fact that they are in such a production mode of making anchor babies that the little bundles of love are being spit out of both holes in their lower extremities.
Response: Of course!
Comment: Those administering our government, at all levels, favor the wrongdoer as they vote for their demagoguery. In return the illegal alien can get more "Goodies!
Paging Marc Rubio! Someone oughta pass a law, I dunno, a `special path’ or something to assist these poor people breaking our laws, milking our bankrupt treasury and taxing our tottering social services agencies. For example, California spends more on prisons than it does education, so it simply gives early releases to their/our disgruntled foreign guests back into what passes for their society.
Maybe the Obama administration could send them guns along with a few billion fresh-off-the-presses dollars and the remainder of our manufacturing industry. It would probably be cheaper for us if they stayed home and defrauded us by mail and using the computers they buy using the money they send back to Mexico.
What is a little fraud to people who are fraudulently in this country to begin with.
What punishment do they face?
The worst that can happen is deportation and Obama won’t deport them.
It’s like Free Money.
Wow. He’s going to go to CONGRESS. I can hear Obama tying his shoes right now getting ready to walk right around them with an executive order. Jarrett is getting the president’s talking points together to justify the executive order.
IT IS NOT A LOOPHOLE, the returns are fradulent. You too could file a return claiming a whole bunch of kids who did not live with you, were out of the country, etc. The question is, would the IRS give your return proper scrutiny seeing as you did not use an ITIN? Do they have instructions to turn a blind eye if an ITIN is used? Does anyone actually verify the documents purported to support the ITIN numbers of the children? ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS SOME DECENT ENFORCEMENT OUT OF THE IRS but that might involve “profiling” tax returns.
According to the follow excerpt, of the 12-20 million "hardworking, law-abiding, contributing" illegals: 1) only 3 million file tax returns and 2) of those filing the total paid out as tax credits to all illegals is more than the total of taxes collected from all illegals:
{Per} Russell George, the United States Department of Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).or THE NET TAX GAIN for ALL ILLEGALS = Zero/Nada/Zilch* Undocumented workers filed 3.02 million tax returns in 2010. 72% of those returns (2.18 million) claimed the additional child tax credit.
* Claims for additional child tax credits by ITIN filers have skyrocketed during the past decade, from $161 million in 2001 to $4.2 billion in tax year 2010.
* In 2010, the IRS owed undocumented workers more in claimed additional child tax credits than it collected from those workers in taxes.
Deal with that Bush, Perry, Gingrich, Rubio... and all the rest of you "Conservative" apologists for the illegal invaders!
