Sacramento Bee ^ | June 05, 2019 | Adam Ashton

Gov. Gavin Newsom has a plan to triple spending on a tax break that puts money in the pockets of low-income families, and top Democrats in the Legislature are pushing him to open the program to undocumented immigrants.

The federal Earned Income Tax Credit is nothing more than a welfare program that transfers income from the makers to the takers. Now California wants to provide it to illegal aliens.

Illegals are not immigrants.

Ah, liberals.

The plane is in a full stall.

Their solution: Pull back on the stick even more. After all, that’s what always works, eh?

The Leftist Minority Grievance Cabal isn’t going to let white boy Newsom get ahead of them - they will always be advocating things that are too much even for him. This bunch made Jerry Brown look like a moderate. Hope Newsom enjoys his governorship. :)

Besides, that's what makes you go up, right?

I'm sure there's a few million illegals already tapping this....one way or another.

How? Easy...a legal puts an illegal down as a child and they split it. It's not like the IRS checks out a birth certificate or anything.

Kind of like ax killer, child rapist, serial killer, wife beater......illegal immigrant. Same thing. All are detestable. The preceding adjective just clarifies their position. Kind of a specialty.

If many are off the board, are paid cash as so forth, and thus many drain more resources then pay into the system by using roads, hospitals, their kids go to school, etc, why give those who pay taxes a tax break if as a whole illegals may be a net drain on society?

If Dems say we shouldn’t punish all for what half or a third do, then deport the ones being paid cash for various jobs who are in fact a net drain.

Seriously? Is Newsome actually the guy from the "Jackass" movies? Are democRATs a bunch of morons who perform stupid stunts to see who can hurt themselves the worst?

Because at this point, how can leftist voters possibly not realize they've just driven the clown car off the cliff?

So-How do you get a ‘tax break’ if you don’t have a SSN?

There is no CA GOP. The same thing that happened to CA the left wants for the national GOP.

President Trump needs to hit the Party of Larceny and Lunacy with a real comprehensive immigration reform package via The List.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to self-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

Illegal aliens are able to pay income tax with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. Been around since 1996.

The irony is that in California poor people are taxed at a very high rate. 10 cents on every dollar sales tax and 80 cents on every gallon of gasoline. Pay for carbon credits with their utility bills.
