I am confused. If their Social Security numbers are to be newly issued how exactly have there been “years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving”? No SS no income tax filing or SS deductions. Meanwhile they have enjoyed a good deal of largesse at the actual tax payer’s expense. Good roads, guaranteed medical treatment in the ER departments they’ve crowded into when little Juan and Juanita had the sniffles, and a decent education for the same.

You're not confused at all. If they have been paying taxes all along, they'd be paying under some number. My guess is they have not been paying at all, but will then be able to file back taxes, and since they didn't pay anything, they'll still get the $ that many get for free. the Earned Income Credit.

The Earned Income Tax Credit Gives Workers a Boost

IRS Special Edition Tax Tip 2014-04, February 3, 2014

Update Feb. 12, 2014 — revised to correct the average EITC amount in 2013.

For nearly 40 years, the Earned Income Tax Credit has been helping low- to moderate-income workers by giving them a boost to their income. Four out of five eligible workers claim EITC, but the IRS wants every eligible worker to claim and get this credit.

Here are some things the IRS wants you to know about this important credit:

Review your eligibility. If you worked and earned under $51,567, you may be eligible for EITC. If your financial or family situation has changed, you should review the EITC eligibility rules. You might qualify for EITC this year even if you didn’t in the past. Workers who qualify for EITC must file a federal income tax return and specifically claim the credit to get it, even if they do not have a requirement to file a return.

Lower your tax or get a refund. The EITC reduces your federal tax and could result in a refund. If you qualify, the credit could be worth up to $6,044. The average credit was $2,335 last year.
