Millions of immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama’s executive actions could get a windfall from the IRS, a reversal of fortune after years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving.

Armed with new Social Security numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S. illegally will now be able to claim up to four years’ worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that’s a maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings during those years.

Some Republicans are labeling the payments “amnesty bonuses,” one more reason they oppose Obama’s program shielding millions of immigrants from deportation. …

Being that we are already in Kafka land, Propose a retroactive fine that prevents them from receiving anything.

Clowerd Piven. He can't get his budgets threw so maybe he plans to do it by executive order.

Of course he is. He is giving them the cash to retain thousands of shyster lawyers all over this country who will eventually band together and sue the US Government for full redress. Their claim will be that legitimization of any sort entitles them to FULL rights as citizens. From there, voting, full entitlements, citizenship and anchoring will be possible. An overwhelming Democrat majority of at least 50 million votes. We are undone. Fini.

...because they were working ILLEGALLY.

I guess there is no right or wrong anymore....only what Obama wants.

yes, we are undone - Obama’s fundamental transformation to destroy the predominately white Christian right leaning (in general) prosperous country.

All it took was people willing to lie, a compliant media, fear of a word (racist), and enough lo fo voters.

While Americans struggle to pay taxes, the Obama administration turns around and takes that tax money and gives it away to wetbacks.

‘amnesty bonuses’

Has to be at least some incentive for voting the desired way.
