From the Center for Immigration Studies:
The Treasury Department reports that illegal immigrants filing tax returns using the Individual Tax Identification Number are receiving more than $1.5 billion each year from the federal government through the Child Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit…
Thus the insanity of our government. We’re bankrupt, but we’re still sending out checks to illegal immigrants – and we’re sending out these checks to people in conformity with our tax law, which ignores the fact that the people in question wouldn’t be here but for law-breaking. Meanwhile, if you or I, dear legal citizen, mess up on our taxes the heavy hand of government will drop on us like a ton of bricks.
Ultimately, we need a full review of all our laws – a re-codification, as it were. Its not as odd as it sounds – nations which exist for a period of time tend to need such a re-working of laws to ensure consistency, fairness and relation to current reality. One new committee in Congress I’d like to see is a body to look over our laws and regulations and figure out what needs to be changed and what needs to be eliminated…though they can start with eliminating the requirement to send money to people who, legally, aren’t even here.
