The Obama administration’s incessant pandering to illegal immigrants is
continuing unabated, as many will be eligible to receive tens of
thousands of your tax dollars as a reward for breaking U.S. laws and
sneaking into the country. ~ J D Heyes
A new Congressional Research Service (CRS) memo obtained by Breitbart News
reveals that, as a result of President Obama’s controversial executive
amnesty, illegal aliens who were able to get a Social Security number
and a work permit may be able to file amended returns with the IRS.
Breitbart News further noted:
The
report comes following the Internal Revenue Service’s confirmation that
once illegal immigrants are granted Social Security Numbers – as a
result of Obama’s executive actions – they will be able to file back tax
returns and obtain up to four years of tax benefits, including the
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC).
In a separate report, The Associated Press said
illegals “will now be able to claim up to four years’ worth of tax
credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that’s a
maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings
during those years.”
However, Breitbart News said that the
CRS report, which was requested to measure the amount of tax benefits
amnesty relief could potentially generate, examined the amount of EITC
and CTC for a hypothetical family from 2011-2014.
More than $35,000!
“Specifically,
you were interested in the value of these credits for a married couple
with three and four children,” a memo accompanying the report said.“In
addition, you requested that for every year, the family’s income be
equal to the maximum amount of earnings a taxpayer could have and still
receive the maximum amount of the EITC.“This income level is often
referred to as the ‘phase-out threshold amount’ and is adjusted annually
for inflation.”
That could mean much more than $24,000 in illicit returns.
The CRS study figured the maximum level of tax
credits that were available to hypothetical families with three and
four children.
The non-partisan research service found that for a family
with three kids in the four years spanning the aforementioned timeframe
the “phase-out threshold amount” would be in $35,521 in the EITC and
CTC. For a family with four kids, that figure rose to $35,650.
“In
those years considered, the “phase-out threshold amount” for both
hypothetical families was $21,770 in 2011, $22,300 in 2012, $22,870 in
2013, and $23,260 in 2014. Both hypothetical families were also able to
amass around $9,000 worth of the EITC and CTC annually in the years CRS
considered,” Breitbart News reported.
Republicans in Congress are calling the benefit an “amnesty bonus.”
Obama’s IRS is defending the payments
“I
represent hard working, law-biding Texans,” Rep. Sam Johnson, a senior
Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, said, as quoted by the
AP. “I think these amnesty rewards, and that’s what they are, need to be stopped.”
Backers
of the payments say the illegal immigrants are owed because they pay
taxes. Stephen Goss, Social Security’s chief actuary, said illegals
contribute about $100 billion a year in Social Security payroll taxes.
The refunds they would be getting are based on income tax credits, and those working and living in the country illegally don’t file income taxes.
No matter; the head of the IRS is defending the practice.
“Section
32 of the Internal Revenue Code requires an SSN on the return, but a
taxpayer claiming the EITC is not required to have an SSN before the
close of the year for which the EITC is claimed,”
IRS Commissioner John
Koskinen wrote in a letter explaining the benefit to Sen. Charles E.
Grassley, R-Iowa.
Statutory law and IRS codes also prohibit using the tax collection agency as a political weapon, too, but that didn’t stop Lois Lerner.
