Illegal Workers Used Tax Credit to Pocket $4.2 Billion, Audit Shows
Fox News ^ | Sept. 2, 2011

Posted on 09/03/2011 8:58:41 PM PDT by T.L.Sink

Undocumented workers collected $4.2 billion in a tax credit last year, up from less than $1 billion five years ago. The Additional Child Tax Credit is a refundable tax credit meant for working families but as a result of a vague U.S. law as well as an expansion of the tax credit in stimulus [read Obama] legislation the number of illegal workers receiving the money has skyrocketed. The payment of this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside and work in the United States without authorization which contradicts federal law and policy to remove such incentives. Refundable credits can result in refunds even if NO income tax is withheld or paid, the report noted.

Shoot, if I wanted to do that I’d just scrap the whole idea and stay here and vote Dumocrat.

Right, I read that. And what’s even worse for us is the finding of the study by Robert Rector of Heritage which was one of the most comprehensive studies of illegal immigration ever done. It projects that within twenty years, if not curtailed, this foreign invasion could collapse the whole economic and social infrastructure of America. Check it out. By the way, Rector was cited in Congress and appeared on radio and TV shows warning us of the dangers of this policy. This was during the Bush administration when the comprehensive immigration (amnesty) bill was before the House.

This undocumented meme is really driving me insane. Seriously I fear what I might do if someone actually said that to my face! How does an UNDOCUMENTED person FILE taxes and COLLECT a REFUND!

Thanks for the link, tumblindice.

A US offciak at the US Dept of Labor (latino Marxist Hilda Solis) is colluding with foreign countries to advise their citizens, in this country illegally, on how to take advantage of US laws, and how to get free money.

SOURCE http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2771816/posts

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

REFERENCE Right on the heels of King Obama enacting the Dream Act through administrative fiat, Obama's hand-picked Marxist Labor Secy Hilda Solis, signed "partnership" agreements with Latin American nations to protect .....what she described..... as the labor "rights" of legal and illegal migrants working in the US.

The US now has Solis' self-made "partnership agreements" with the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua and Guatemala.

Thanks to Solis' illegal meddling, the Immigration and Nationality Act bypasses Congress, and the Labor Dept itself which says the INA only protects "U.S. citizens and aliens authorized to accept employment in the US from discrimination in hiring or discharge."

Solis took it upon herself to amend US law (with Obama cheering in the bgrnd) and congratulated herself in the process, saying at the reconquista signing ceremony, "No matter how you got here or how long you plan to stay, you have certain rights." (Excerpt) Read more at investors.com ...

Earlier news reports say Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru are conspiring to collude with The Anti-Defamation League, The American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center and several other civil and immigrant rights groups to infringe on US sovereignty to make our laws as we see fit. The co-conspirators filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Georgia's alien crackdown law..... and and successfully got a US judge to halt the measure pending the outcome of their case.

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

Expect more of this under a President (gag) Perry. Perry is one of this nation's permier suckers....who will suck up to anything for a vote.

Clearly, these gov'ts are salivating to get their hands on billions of dollars in US aid. They are aiding and abetting their populations (voting blocs) to stream over the border, coached on how to ride the US gravy train.

Third Workd federales are salivating to get their dirty hands on trillions in US foreign aid---they are providing voting blocs to manipulate the US govt and loot the US Treasury.

Central/South America and Mexico are conning the US -----extorting US tax dollars to support Marxist/terrorist movement via the Merida Initiative (TMI is a despicable con game passed by Congress to arm foreign police and military using US tax dollars.....the aim is to protect terrorists and drug cartels moving across the borders into the US.

VOTERS WANT TO KNOW: When did Texas Governor Perry know savage Zetas were expanding their growing drug empire inside the US, from Big D--Dallas? And when will Perry take responsibility for this?

A friend of mine who grew-up in South America, recently had to go to the emergency room. Before they would even touch her they made her fill out the forms, produce an insurance card and even demanded PAYMENT before they would even treat her (she did get them to agree to billing her the $50 copay).

As she speaks Spanish like a native and no hint of an accent with her English, I told her she should have screwed with them and whined and carry-on in Spanish the whole time.

About forty miles from me a similar scam was run and I think nearly seven million was collected from the taxpayers. The scam involved four people (all illegal). They were arrested and charged. Trial pending.

Another scam just a few miles from me involved three people (legal citizens, born here) collected about one million two hundred thousand from the taxpayers. They were arrested and convicted. They are serving time.

What is being caught is the tip of the iceberg. Both legal citizens and illegals are being caught. The system allows for numerous scams simply because the system is unable to act prior to the scam being underway. Think housing bubble.

MOST people have NO IDEA that people who pay NO TAXES, actually get a CHECK from US, Uncle Sugar.

This story needs to be repeated and retold until EVERYONE hears about it.

I think we aren’t doing a good enough job of explaining some of the overlooked problems of illegals.

Right off the top I think we should be looking at how many of our congressional seats in DC exist simply because of the presence of illegal aliens. If there are 30 million illegals, its enough to populate more than 50 congressional seats and they only need be counted to create them.

How different would America be with 40 or 50 less democrats in the house of representatives?

The media party will have none of it. This is secret. The PeeLousy/Reed/Zero “stimulus” went to tax cuts remember? What they really meant was billions in EITC. God help us.

The fact that our government grows as a result of the illegals being here. Congressional lines are drawn and money apportioned based on census counts of people who aren’t legitimately here. Again, how many extra congressmen are in congress due to the presence of illegals?

The cost in infrastructure maintenance that results from the excess wear and tear might not be a bad way to frame the issue. Infrastructure spending is one of Obama’s common demands for money.

I would have to believe your estimate is a correct estimate of the number in congress due to the presence of illegals.

The costs illegals cost the taxpayers is documented. The figures shown to the taxpayers are probably bogus just as the twelve million illegals inside the country is bogus. People are awakening to the problem otherwise you and I would not be discussing it, yet I agree the problem is growing. I haven't come upon the answer to change people's minds, though like you, I continue to try to come up with an answer. For the moment, I take some of the awakening of the people of America as a good sign, and the time for illegals may eventually pass. If not, nobody can say you nor I failed to warn those who see only good coming from an invasion force which murders, robs, pillages, and destroys America in the long run. Ask any American Indian. American Indians know what an invasion means.

And while we are telling it, let's also tell that the Earned Income Tax Credit, to which you refer, was proposed by Nixon, signed into law by Ford and increased under every administration since, without exception.

A pure form of communistic wealth redistribution, if there ever was one.

When I lived in California, I used to see illegal immigrants buy drivers lics and social security cards in parking lots.

The going rate was 200 each, or 2 for 300. I once made the mistake of copying down both lic plates, and calling the cops. They screamed at me “ we don’t have time for that $hit “

Now we have 20-30 million of these criminal trespassing cockroaches.

The Left in this country is selling us down the river for votes from the illegal Hispanic lobby. Unfortunately, we have some RINO’s who are joining them. We need another Tom Tancredo not an opportunist like Romney whose agenda changes with the Gallop poll.

Exactly but we can’t blame the illegals for getting on the dole for freebees - it’s the fault of our own political establishment which would craw through a sewer for their votes!

Right! “undocumented” has become another one of a multitude of Politically Correct euphemisms designed to hide harsh reality. But the public isn’t being fooled anynore. As common sense Americans are apt to ask, “What is it about the word ILLEGAL that you don’t understand?”
