WTF? Illegals and tax returns

[Cracker]

WASHINGTON – Republicans are pushing a proposal that would halt what amounts to an IRS-administered entitlement that provides "free-funds" to low-income illegal immigrant filers who take advantage of a child tax credit to receive government payments that average about $1,800.

The proposal would require people filing tax returns to prove they're legal workers. The effort has roused anger among Hispanics and some Democratic lawmakers. But it's being offered as a way to help pay for extending the payroll tax cut and is projected to trim federal spending by about $10 billion over a decade. The IRS checks average about $1,800.

The debate addresses a quirk in U.S. law. Even people who are not authorized to work in the U.S. are supposed to file returns with the IRS. Many of those people cannot obtain a Social Security number, so to facilitate this the IRS hands out what are known as Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers -- so illegal workers can file returns.

However, in doing so many of those workers are claiming tax benefits. For some, it's a way of making even more money. The IRS pays the tax filers, which for some amounts to an IRS-administered welfare program.


This is wrong. If you are here illegally, you shouldn't get a fucking refund.

True...but, it's still a slap in the face every time us law abiding citizens come across something like this...at least it is to me.

I would guess the bleeders would have a different opinion as they think ANYONE is entitled to anything and everything that legal, US citizens get. It makes my fucking blood boil!

Mine too, I don't want to feel crabby so I'm leaving this thread now.

I don't get a tax return. They keep what they take from me. Every year I itemize every damn thing I can to keep from paying them. And I claim single 0. I'm at the wrong end of the fucking bracket.

But the U.S. isn't a magnet for illegals.
