Tax refunds for illegal aliens who never paid taxes

From: Response Action Network

President Obama's executive order granting deportation amnesty for certain illegal aliens may have an unexpected and outrageous side effect (link is external):

IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress...that even illegal immigrants who didn’t pay taxes will be able to claim back-refunds once they get Social Security numbers under President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty.

The revelation — which contradicts what he told Congress [earlier] — comes as lawmakers also raised concerns Mr. Obama’s amnesty could open a window to illegal immigrants finding ways to vote, despite it being against the law.

How could this possibly happen?

 

“Under the new program, if you get a Social Security number and you work, you’ll be eligible to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit,” Mr. Koskinen said.

 

He said that would apply even “if you did not file” taxes, as long as the illegal immigrant could demonstrate having worked off-the-books during those years.

That expands the universe of people eligible for the tax credit by millions. He said only about 700,000 illegal immigrants currently work and pay taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, but as many as 4 million illegal immigrants could get a stay of deportation and work permits under the temporary amnesty, which would mean they would be eligible to claim back-refunds if they worked those years.

Koskinen said the White House never bothered to ask the IRS about any tax implications of the deportation amnesty and thus never considered how much money would go to illegals in the form of tax refunds.

 

And as for the idea that they could get to vote, too? This story is about to get much, much worse.

 

MAY HEAVEN HELP US!!
