Lawmakers are warning that President
Obama's immigration executive actions could open the door for
millions of illegal immigrants to qualify for hefty tax "credits"
regardless of whether they've filed or paid taxes in the past.
And, all they need is a Social Security
number.
Obama's November announcement paves the
way for up to 4 million illegal immigrants to obtain Social Security
numbers and work permits. After some initial confusion, IRS
Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress this week that this would
make them eligible for what's known as the Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC) providing they've been working.
Wow! And these credits will only cost us, the taxpayers, about 10 billion over
the next 10 years. That's always assuming that the projected two million
illegal crossee's estimated for this summer is way over blown! I mean
what other country in the world could shoulder a burden like
that when the unemployment figure there is estimated to be over 7% (GAO estimate)? None that I know
of.
And, I hear that word of all that free
money is being spread far and wide over much of Central America. I
mean all ya gotta do, if your poor and living in say Columbia, is pay a mule to help you cross
some measly river and suddenly you're home free and in the lap of
luxury! What a deal!!
