WHY DOES THIS CONTINUE?


ILLEGAL ALIENS RECEIVE BILLIONS IN IRS TAX CREDITS

According to a report released by the U.S. Treasury, illegal immigrants received $4.2 billion in refundable credits for the 2010 tax year even though they are not even authorized to work in the United States. In its report, the Treasury also noted that Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 made it even more lucrative to be an illegal immigrant in the U.S. by increasing tax credit eligibility by changing the income threshold and doling out higher tax refunds to illegal immigrants. In fact, in 2010, illegal immigrants received $4.2 billion in refunds, an increase from $925 million in 2005. Meanwhile, those illegal immigrants paid in cash “under the table” and file no taxes at all are still receiving public benefits despite federal and state laws.
