The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates Hyde-Smith's legislation could save nearly $28 billion over ten years.
Immigrants residing illegally within the U.S. could no longer receive child tax credits or tax breaks for low income earners if the Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act becomes law.
Reintroduced by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., the legislation would require both parents and children to have Social Security numbers that are valid for employment in order to claim the Child Tax Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., has introduced a companion bill in the House.
The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates Hyde-Smith's legislation could save nearly $28 billion over ten years.
“I welcome President [Donald] Trump’s intent to target wasteful spending and enforce immigration laws,” Hyde-Smith said Tuesday. “The environment is certainly friendlier now to adopt legislation that saves billions of dollars and ensures that only U.S citizens and persons authorized to work can benefit from the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit.”
While the CTC and EITC should only go to those with SSNs valid for employment, certain loopholes allow some people who do not meet the requirements to receive the federal benefits. The bill would close those loopholes.
Only weeks into Trump’s second presidency, Republicans and the Commander in Chief have already implemented or introduced other anti-illegal immigration measures, including reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy and authorizing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to round up and deport migrants residing in the U.S.

Gee. If that were to pass there wouldn’t be a lot of reasons to stay here.
Bueno. The EITC is such a scam. Getting a tax refund when you don’t pay any taxes. My son was given about $7,000 a couple years ago from it and he didn’t even apply.
Man, this looks incredible when seeing it in print.
While people know about most of these things, they are going to be shocked to actually realize how bad it is when they read headlines like this, or headlines like “Republicans pass legislation to stop giving monthly government checks to people in the country illegally”
Still abusing and mis-using the word “Migrant/s”.
Migrants come in legally.
Invaders and illegals sneak in or overstay their visa.
These bills do not affect migrants.
EITC and Child Tax Credit must be audited.
Illegals have NO RIGHT TO THESE.
Better, just eliminate the EITC.
That’s right.
Common sense bill
This is what we have to now legislate in 2025

I still want a head tax on all illegals - not a one-time fine, a hefty, yearly head tax for the privilege of not being deported yet.
Finally!
poison the well from which they drink
Why is nobody taxing remittances?
p
How does an illegal alien get a SSN in the first place?
They pay income tax?
Illegal Aliens should receive absolutely NO benefits. Period!!!
If you tune up your income just right, you can get quite a lot of money off the taxpayer for not doing anything.
Do they PAY taxes??
Preach it!
