‘I Know Nothing!’ Hispanic Caucus Member Didn’t Know That Illegals Will Receive Tax Refunds

Illinois Congressman Luis Gutierrez told The Daily Caller Friday that he didn’t know that illegal immigrants are eligible for tax refunds — even if they haven’t paid taxes.

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told members of Congress Wednesday that illegal immigrants who did not pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds once they are issued social security numbers.

“I know nothing of the sort,” Gutierrez snapped at a Daily Caller reporter Friday when asked about Koskinen’s testimony.

“Of course it would be like you to raise that sort of question,” the Democrat continued. “Why don’t you ask the commissioner of the IRS?”

The commissioner, of course, had already been asked about it.

“Under the new program,” Koskinen told members of the House oversight committee Wednesday, “if you get a Social Security number and you work, you’ll be eligible to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit.”

“You will get an amount depending on your situation,” Koskinen added. “If you are an individual working and applying for the Earned Income Tax Credit, the maximum you can get is in the range of 500 to 600 dollars.”

However, according to the IRS’ own website, a filer can receive a check up to $6,143 when they have “three or more qualifying children.”

Rubio cannot be trusted.

RE:”Rubio cannot be trusted.”

I trust him, to lie to us.

[Lurkinanloomin]

They lie to us like we are stupid until we are smart enough to do what we did to Eric Cantor. We threw our weasel out, how about the rest of you?

[Will88]

For years we've heard Dims and Republicans rattle off the line about how illegals would: "learn English, pay a fine, pay back taxes, etc.

Of course, several of us pointed out that most illegals who worked earned lower incomes and would owe no taxes, and likely be eligible for EITC. Never heard even one politician mention that fact. Low life liars, and/or ignoramuses all.

[Impy]

Gutierrez, my Congresstwerp, Aren’t I lucky?

Who do you have Billyboy, Rush? Wanna trade? ;d

[ought-six]

Luis Gutierrez is the quintessential ethnic bigot.

[tinamina]

Luis didn’t speak Spanish until he moved to Puerto Rico in high school, so his Spanish accent is a lie as well. He was born wnd raised in Illinois.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

Taxpayers demand that the political and financial activities of The Congressional Hispanic Caucus be rigorously scrutinized.

We demand to know how often The Congressional Hispanic Caucus communicates w/ foreign governments.

<><> Was voter fraud an issue in CHC members' elections?

<><> How many illegals do they employ on Capitol Hoill and in their districts?

<><> How many US govt checks are they and/or their employees cashing?

<><> Are any of the CHC employees agents of foreign govts?

<><> How many identities are their employees using?

The Bank Secrecy Act needs to be mobilized at once to determine any and all irregularities in the CHC's accounting practices........ and whether US tax dollars are being laundered and wire-transferred to foreign countries.

This anti-republic central socialist government (assisted by Congress) lets the turd world, with its crime and disease, into the U.S.A.

This, to anyone with a functioning brain, is a criminal act which distributes crime and disease throughout all fifty-seven states and indicates absolute premeditation.

The program is Barry’s planned eradication of the America’s middle class.

Americans unit! Demand that your government represent you, IMPEACH OBAMA and engage in bucking this central government every chance you get.

[GeronL]

Of course they knew that illegals would get tax refunds, and that is probably just the beginning

[Liz]

Of course they knew that illegals would get tax refunds, and that is probably just the beginning...

You got that right.

And how long will it take for some liberal Obama judge to decide that their “Human rights” are being violated...... since they can’t do everything a bona fide US citizen can do?

Quoting Cong Gutierrez (Dim-Ill)---a loud-mouthed advocate of amnesty: “The next day after we pass (amnesty), you know we’re not going to be satisfied, we’re going to come back,” he said. “We’re going to have a civil rights act, we’re going to have a voting rights act… Nobody is leaving this fight once we conclude this first chapter,” he said. "Hopefully, in 30 years, [we] can bring immigrants… from all over the world,” Gutierrez said.

If this guy Guttierez is not an agent of a foreign govt, no one is.

[Liz]

PING

[GeronL]

I agree, this guy does not represent any US citizen for sure.

BTW- Remember the Rubio amnesty plan that would have given many millions in tax dollars to groups like LULAC and La Raza? When these guys pretend they didn’t know something, we know they are lying, they were cheerleading “executive amnesty” for stuff like that

[9YearLurker]

Indeed!

[Liz]

When they pretend they didn’t know something, we know they're colluding to pump “executive amnesty's” sub rosa agenda. Rubio's amnesty plan would blanket groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt with tax dollars---the anti-American LULAC and La Raza, to name a few.

I believe this is why Rubio and (sad to say) Cruz cannot get traction.......creeping latinosim.

"Only here for a better life" segued to just gimme a driver's license, to demanding a panoply of giveaways and gimmees, changes in our laws, etc.....and the 24/7 sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers.

[GeronL]

did you see that other story? All these amnestied people are getting CITIZENSHIP now...

[Liz]

All these amnestied people are getting CITIZENSHIP...

Citizenship---the way to overthrow the US govt.

===================================================

DEMOCRATS COUNT THE VOTES:

<><> Obama's secret amnesty agenda includes unleashing the illegal alien Democrat vote.

<><> Obama's stopping deportation of illegals includes even violent felons w/ criminal convictions.....as long as they can vote.

<><> the Democrat vote expands geometrically--- via Obama's new "border security" plan, chain migration is expanded to allow illegals already here to bring underage children, adult children, grandchildren, even step-parents into the United States.

====================================================

Democrats buying votes w/ our tax dollars: illegals get SS payments, refunds of taxes already paid, more and more EITC refunds. The IRS director told Congress that even “if illegals did not file” taxes, as long as the illegal could demonstrate he worked off-the-books during those years.

Thus the universe of people eligible for the tax credit expands by millions. The IRS said only about 700,000 illegal immigrants currently work and pay taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, but as many as 4 million illegals could get a stay of deportation and work permits under Obama's temporary amnesty, which would mean they would be eligible to claim back-refunds if they worked those years.
