Senator Inhofe Rolls Out Plan to Pay for Mexican Border Wall
[Free Beacon] Senator Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) announced Thursday a proposal to fully fund a border wall along the southwestern border, offsetting the cost by reducing illegal immigrants' access to federal welfare.

Skipping down to the 'how.'


Specifically, the WALL Act would require a work-authorized social security number in order to claim refundable tax credits (e.g., the EITC or Child Tax Credit)‐under the status quo, only a child needs a valid SSN, not his or her parent, to collect the CTC. The bill would also require applicants for federal welfare programs‐TANF, SNAP, etc.‐to actually verify their citizenship using E-Verify, rather than simply "declare" that they are a citizen.
Alright, so I'll ask the pregnant question. Why aren't these measures already in place ?
