Effort underway to restore the proposal by Rep. Luke Messer to require Social Security number for child payments

It’s one of the stranger whodunnits in Washington right now: The Senate version of the GOP tax cut bill substantially altered a noncontroversial provision adopted by the House that excludes illegal immigrants from benefiting from a program for the working poor.
The original proposal by Rep. Luke Messer (R-Ind.) addressed a loophole that allows illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer funds available to people who earn too little to claim the full value of the child tax credit. Designed as an incentive for people to work, the program lets people get more money back from the federal government than they pay in taxes.
