I applaud Sen Sessions' attempt to stop this egregious assault on our retired veterans and currently serving men and women in uniform.

Sadly, it will most likely fail. Reid will probably not even allow a vote on the amendment, specifically because it would turn the magnifying lens onto the Billions that illegal aliens are scamming from the taxpayers.

Over $4 Billion per year is stolen from the US by illegal aliens who use this loophole.

IRS Refunds $4 Billion Child Tax Credits Per Year to Illegal Immigrants Whose Kids Do Not Live in US

The provision to steal retired military Cost of Living will cost them an estimated 20% of their retirement, but will only save $6 Billion over ten years!

Shame on Paul Ryan for engineering this injustice. Shame on Boehner for even allowing the House to vote on it. And Shame on every single DC prostitute who votes against our veterans. They have already sacrificed enough - it is time those who do nothing but TAKE from our nation are forced to be cut....but not our military.

There’s a Loophole That Allows Illegal Immigrants to Claim Tax Credits, and a GOP Sen. Just Made a Big Move to Close It to Save Vet Benefits

The ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee has put forward a budget amendment to avert proposed cuts to veterans’ benefits by closing a loophole that allows illegal immigrants to collect child tax credits.

Good info.

If this passes the Senate with GOP support. It is time........for a new Party.

Take 50 of those 90 Repubs in the senate that stood firm and maybe 10 Senators and FORM A NEW PARTY INSTANTLY.

As a veteran I don’t mind paying more as long as it is efficiently used....not to pay more damn money to illegal aliens and certainly not for some TEN YEAR PLAN that only reduces 23 billion MAYBE.

Note to the author: All Military Retirees are Veterans but no all Veterans are Military Retirees. The two terms are constantly mixed up and misused. They are not the same thing.

WORTH REPEATING

I wonder how Rubio and Flake vote on it.

Here’s hoping this comes back to bite the government in the @$$ when they expect the military to be their political bully boys.

Jeff Sessions is the best Senator we have had in Alabama in hundred years. The guy is a class act and conservative to the hilt. Wish we had another like him instead of the former Dim and RINO Shelby.

Do the house republicans have any idea what political fodder they gave the enemy?

[Katarina]

God bless Sessions for trying so hard and speaking out for our Veterans.

This is indeed another sad day in the life of this once great nation. Once again, the communist/progressives in our nation’s government are dissing the very people who fought and bled for it, while rewarding the thiefs and robbers they call “undocumented aliens,” but who in fact law breakers and a very real threat to the continued prosperity of the USA.

Too late...

I believe it is time to fire every single one of these politicians...

But I am not going to hold my breath...Everyone believes their guy/gal to be near perfect, and not worth losing because of one measly little vote...

Paul Ryan needs to switch parties.
