Harry Reid now steps up...
 

If you all recall a thread recently concerning the scam that illegal immigrants were using to fleece the IRS of millions and millions of us taxpayer money...excuse me BILLIONS of dollars.

Well, piggy backing the Presidents stunt....

"On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) blocked a move to bring the Child Tax Credit Integrity Preservation Act (S577) to the floor, and in doing so, assured that those working in this country illegally will continue to receive billions of dollars in tax refunds for children that do not even live in this country.

In 2011, U.S. Treasury Department Inspector General Russell George released a report revealing that the Internal Revenue Service doled out $4.2 billion in refundable tax credits to illegal alien in 2010 alone.

The refunds were given in the form of the so-called ‘earned income child tax credits,’ which are designed to alleviate the tax burden on low income wage earners with children."

This regards the use of the ITIN number

So there you go....and we move on I suppose.

Thanks to Harry Reid, illegal aliens will continue to receive IRS refunds - National Immigration Reform | Examiner.com

This is just plain sick

With Obama's actions and now the Senates and adding in all the other perks that illegals get like in-state tuition and such, I'm wondering if it might not be a good idea for young Americans to renounce their U.S. citizenship.

It might make their lives a lot easier.

And the Democratic line is and has been how the other party is holding things up.....Reid and the senate are the ones who have controlled everything.

I am upset, although hopefully it wont last, that the Republicans are not making LOUD noises about this major lie being fostered by the Democrats.

Again, I can forsee many "October surprises" in the next few months...at least that is my hope.

A con posts rubbish like this thread - now that's a scam !!!!

Kinda like Iraq has WMD's - another Con scam.

please explain what you think about the post is rubbish. that would be much more iinteresting than a hit and run comment. thanx

is it safe to say that illegal immigrants are receiving MORE in $ and benefits that minmum wage earning american citizens?

how about an Obama supporter speaking up about what they think or why they think paying out the $ 4 billion dollars to illegal aliens is OK?

I expect nothing as a response just like not ever getting a response to eliminating illegals, dead and unqualified voters off the voting rolls.

For some of us it is easy...if it is wrong or broken, fix it. Both the above are wrong. A conclusion most honest with themselves people will reach....regardless the letter R or D!!!!

I agree with you btk

I have some ocean front property in New Mexico that I would like to sell to you. Now that's a scam. Really, it don't matter what letter you have after your politicial name, giving money to illegals is illegal, or don't you understand that. When the bubble pops don't come to any of us cons that you accuse of posting scams. You get to fend for yourself.

I'm gonna brush up on the ol espanol. The Commonwealth is talking about cutting our pensions. The spanish may pay off.

Are you counting the IRS scams that the senate will not stop ?

Are you counting the money being taken by illegals in this country and then packed off to Mexico (that is the 3rd biggest revenue stream they have) ?

This thing is going to become a bigger issue as time goes on but it will become an economic issue to the detriment of Obama !

A government pension is treasonous talk on this forum.

Only thing worse would be a (gasp!) a government union employee with a pension. :boxing2:

Hahaha yep, felt like stirring the pot.

When I first heard about this, I couldn't believe it. I thought "Hey, if you take deductions, at best, you get your Adjust Gross Income down to zero and you get back any taxes you paid in". Then I heard you COULD end up with "negative tax due" - meaning getting back far MORE than you paid in because of Child Tax Credits. This is just flat-out WRONG.

Proof positive that the Democrats are just like the Republicans in that, if the other side proposes it, then you have to be against it.
