IRS: Alright, alright, alright. We are PAYING them to come here.
2015-06-05
[Wash Times] IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has confirmed to Congress that illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama's new programs could claim back refunds even when they never filed returns to pay their taxes in the first place.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had pressed Mr. Koskinen over the issue, released written responses Wednesday in which the commissioner admitted he'd botched the question earlier and, in fact, illegal immigrants granted the amnesty will now be able to claim refunds on tax returns they never even filed, thanks to the Earned Income Tax Credit.

"To clarify my earlier comments on EITC, not only can an individual amend a prior year return to claim EITC, but an individual who did not file a prior year return may file a return and claim EITC (subject to refund limitations under section 6511 of the Internal Revenue Code)," Mr. Koskinen said.

He insisted, however, that he doubts many illegal immigrants will take advantage of the loophole because they would have to be able to prove their earnings for those years they never filed returns.

#10  Again, the US Constitution doth NOT recognize "part/partial" or "quasi" US Citizens-Permanent Residents = EITHER YOU ARE, OR YOU ARE NOT.

Its the epitome of hypocrisy + ludicrity for the US DemoLeft to allow massive waves of illegals to come into the US, but then bitterly complain about the changes they bring to American Society-Culture at large, + STILL LET THEM IN!

#7  This cannot be clearer, we are giving illegal aliens money from the treasury to buy their allegiance to the Democratic Party. No other perversion of law and regulation could possibly benefit one party more in its treasonous attempt to undermine the enfranchisement of the genuine citizens of the United States. This most not stand!

#6  #3 This isn't the work of the political class in DC

TW: To be fair to what you say, it's the work of one part of the political class or the left who supports "O"--not necessarily the entire political class. The voters have indeed brought about change in the House (2010) and the Senate (2014). Let's see if they retain both houses and obtain the presidency in 2016. Maybe that will give the Pubs the mandate (can be read as spine) they need. The Donks tout diversity as one of their gods; however, the Pubs actually seem to have more diversity in policies/thought/ideology/candidates.

#5  ..cause we couldn't negotiate an exchange deal for those who spout off how oppressed they are here for those who'd gladly trade places with said malcontents.

#4  That's hope and change for you. Now we have to bribe poor people to jump our border.

#3  This isn't the work of the political class in DC, but of the bureaucracy on the direct orders of President Barack Hussein Obama in defiance of Congress.

I sense a coming revolution in this country--the people vs. Washington. It's just not clear when people will get fed up enough and the tipping point reached.
