I'll think of the numbers in Table 12's last 2 columns, the % on Earned Income Credits & Additional Child Income Credits (income/wealth transfer handouts) EVERY TIME a politician trying to sell amnesty says "They'll have to pay the back taxes they would have owed."
I probably won't be able to resist re-posting those charts on FR - so thanks again in advance!
IRS Gave $14 Billion in Refundable Tax Credits to Illegals
In August, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that the IRS is not in compliance with their returns of improper Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) payments. The IRS rate of improper EITC payments for the fiscal year of 2012 was estimated between 21-25 percent, totaling nearly $62 billion overall.
If we have an amnesty. Heritage estimated it would cost $6.3 trillion. Yes, it is in the trillions.
