Conservatives are advocating for changing the Child Tax Credit expansion in the bipartisan tax deal that advanced out of the House Ways and Means Committee, seeking a provision that would prohibit illegal immigrants from claiming the tax benefit.
This legislation, as it stands, would increase the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,600 but it continues the existing policy of permitting illegal immigrants who file tax returns with tax identification numbers to collect the Child Tax Credit for their children.
The expansion is part of the Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., tax legislation that is moving through Congress after being passed by the House Ways and Means Committee last week.
“The American people are telling us that they’re sick of this wide-open border, and the bill’s eligibility expansion just increases rate and speed at which the tax dollars of hard-working Americans Citizens are going to individuals here illegally,” said Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus in a statement to Just the News on Thursday.
"That’s absolutely something that should be a red line for every single Republican – there should not be one Republican willing to vote for that," he added.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, also said allowing illegal immigrants to collect the Child Tax Credit is a "real problem that we’re concerned about given the current dynamic and what’s going on at the border.”
A GOP congressional source who declined to be identified because he is not authorized to make public policy statements told Just the News that he thinks it's the wrong move for Congress to turn the Child Tax Credit into a welfare-style program that can be collected even if an individual owes nothing in federal taxes and does not work.
Had enough yet?
Anyone who votes democrat is nothing but an anal exit passageway. They are giving away the country! Taking the product of our hard work and giving it to people who they tell to hate us!
Disgusting.
It sure is scary when there’s no indication that America is close to hitting bottom as the country plummets out of control. These politicians don’t GAF.
Bipartisan = cave.
This f in unbelievable.
My tag line is an understatement. For those who don’t know MT= mega tons.

Wish I knew how to import and post James Woods post of “Everything that’s wrong with our government in one photo”.
Nothing has, or will, be done about this deliberately planned & executed invasion...
Accomplished without a single shot fired or anyone taking any significant action to put a stop to it...
This is nothing new. Illegals have been the #1 perpetrators of EIC and Child Tax Credit fraud since their inception. The IRS knows it, but won’t increase their enforcement of the law. They give the illegals a pass. Illegals in general pay ZERO federal or state income taxes, it’s been that way for 50 years. Only the very few that have W-2 wage jobs pay ANY tax, and that is only Medicare and Social Security taxes as the universally claim 99 exemptions on their W-4’s
I know because it was my job at the IRS to enforce the law’s provisions, but my managers told me not to.
I was wondering if this means an illegalial alien on welfare would get an annual stipend from IRS in addition to other government support? I think the child tax credit comes up for criticism because parents can get more on refund than was withheld in some cases?
More than enough.
Bravo.
I want you to post this often. Better than any such list I have compiled. 🏆
We are really at war ...
Illegals do not affect lifestyle of elites. They live in gated communities and empliy security personnel.
Yes indeed...
That’s the one, tanx.
