MI TAXES, SU TAXES
A recent news video showed that when first reported, the amount of child tax credit given to illegals was around 4.7 billion dollars when they first discovered the loophole. Now they are reporting that figure which was taken off the 2010 tax year was actually twice the amount for tax year 2012. A piece of legislation that went before Congress was killed because they were afraid that someone who deserved it would not get it.
An illegal claimed in Tax year 2012 that there were 20 kids living in the complex (not all 20 where ever in the US and he personally didn’t have 20 kids) and received over $30,000 in a tax refund. That is some nest egg considering he is working illegally, in the US illegally, lied on taxes for amount of children, and most likely a successful businessman because of his end of year bonus our Government gives him.
I understand the thinking in Washington, we can’t bail out the losses of our own citizen’s except for a few shekels’ here or there, but we can make it up to them by providing this loophole and give money to those who are breaking the law. Sounds like Robin Hood to me.
I know if any citizen owed taxes they would come after them with a vengeance to get the money back, but how do you get over 7 billion dollars back when we all know it went South to Mexico? How can Congress sleep at night knowing that illegals are getting rich from Fed while their own is hungry, sleeping in the streets, and looking for work because Congress does nothing but help the law breakers.
