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.

Those illegals who pay no taxes or have none withheld get refunds from hard working citizens who, as always, foot the bill for bankrupt public school districts, insolvent hospitals, social welfare costs, prison incarceration and the ravages brought to us by the drug cartel.

$4.2 billion does buy an election? I am reminded of the similar ploy practiced by the Clintons/algore in the 1996 election. These liberals are not taking any chances.

Wonder if the GOP candidates are even paying attention to the ‘secret’ votes they will have to overcome?

Man, quit complaining about this and certainly quit posting stories if no one is going to do anything about it. This kind of stuff is really getting on my nerves. I can NOT understand why a group of people in the face of armed British unloaded a boatload of tea over an itty bitty tax and then turn around and only complain about what’s going on now which is far worse and do nothing about it. It borders on ridiculous.

In case you missed it, check this out (if your blood pressure can tiake it-it raised mine): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2771816/posts

Our Depart. of Labor is cooperating with two countries in advising their citizens, in this country illegally, on how to take advantage of US laws.
I suspect we’ll see more of the same under a President Perry. Sorry Perry-tards: you know I’m right. Mittens is going to hammer him on these types of issues, even though he would probably be even worse.

The people who want to do something about it are outnumbered 2 to 1 by the parasites who profit off of it, and want to keep the status quo, and they have the backing of a government with a whole lot of firepower to make sure it stays that way. I agree with you though, we declared our independence over less than what we go through today. Maybe it’s time we do it again.

FAIR calculates the cost of illegals is well in excess of $110 billion annually.

This really isn’t about illegal aliens. Everything associated with illegals has to do with anti-American Liberals. Basically because Mexico as a sovergin power sucks ass and Liberals exploit it.

Fantastic tagline you have there. May I suggest you also add "dam it" which makes possible a few of the things you've already listed.

It's the only energy source that stands ready to deliver electricity on a moments notice after waiting months to be needed. Dams are time machines that let us visit our rainfall and use it before it rushes back out to the sea to become non-potable once again!!!

Any civilized society has four pillars of functioning institutions. Political, economic, education and last but most certainly not least religious. All four of the pillars of our 'civil' society have been corrupted.

Given the remembrance of that long ago 'Tea Party', we are once again by all these institutions, (the redistribution ruling class from both political parties) getting taxed without representation.

What I would like to see is some conservative use the Mexican Immigration Law as their own campaign document and agree with how Mexico handles immigration. All we are getting from these politicians and their fellow cohorts, is talk, talk, talk, as they fleece us blind and call it compassion.

What? And put every Mexican citizen on the 'used tax credit' program?
