Illicitly Providing Tax Benefits to Illegal Aliens
It's Time to Rein in the Rogue IRS
 
By Dan Cadman on July 3, 2017

One of the Center's Board members, Jan Ting, recently penned an interesting blog concerning the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which, despite its reputation for doggedness where citizens' tax filings are concerned, appears to be more than willing to permit certain aliens to get away with violating the law.

The specific issue Ting wrote about was illegal aliens claiming child tax credits: "These child tax credits are being provided by the IRS to illegal aliens notwithstanding that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 (PRWOA) long ago provided that an illegal alien 'is not eligible for any Federal public benefit.'" As Ting notes, a federal appeals court has ruled that provision of those credits to illegal aliens constitutes the equivalent of a public benefit and therefore is unlawful — notwithstanding which it appears that the IRS is going to continue a long policy of "don't ask-don't tell" where it comes to these illegal-alien claimants, and continue to give away finite federal taxpayer dollars.

It's Time to Rein in the Rogue IRS

IMHO it's time to do far more than simply rein in the IRS!  It's time to just go full FREEDOM, get rid of the Marxist income tax and the IRS completely, and be done with it once and for all!

Just more of the unlawful redistribution of wealth by the unlawful leftists.... that are embedded everywhere in government now.  If any investigative committee needs to be formed for anything.... it needs to be formed to root out these idiots allowing illegals to receive taxpayer money illegally.

So under which President did the resent policy begin?

Act 1996

Clinton, Bush I, Obama?

The recent policy, which is illegal, probably began under Obama (just a guess).  Those tax credits were never intended to go to people here illegally, probably using someone "else's" (via identify theft) social security number.

The same people who support this kind of crap will turn around and claim that illegal aliens benefit us all because they pay taxes.

I would really like to know, beyond a guess. Unfortunately too often, upon further investigation one learns such liberal policies actually started under a GOP President.

The Reason I even mention that, is because Reagan gave us our first wonderful amnesty, and GW Bush asked for the next. "Compassionate," but not to the taxpayers.

that is not honest at all and is an incomplete picture of what happened,

Reagan signed off on amnesty in exchange for Congress funding once and for all border enforcement.

The latter did not happen.

Reagan was not the amnesty driver as you insinuate, Congress was.

I believe in results. Reagan apparently didn't practice what he preached; e.g. "trust but verify." This native Californian was livid when he did that.

Do not get me wrong. I regard  Reagan as the best President in my lifetime.

Reagan had every reason at the time to expect the democrats to follow through on their promises, which were codified by legislation. The democrats knew there would be no opportunity for him to verify - he would be gone by the time it became clear they had welched on their part of the deal.

In 1986 not many Americans could imagine how utterly corrupt the democrat party was destined to become.

If they had kept their word, if they hadn't broken the law, we would not be sitting in the sh&*pile we are today.

Exactly how would you have proposed Reagan should have been able to "trust and verify" in this manner?  It was not the Soviet Union he was dealing with on immigration.  It was elected US politicians who he spent 5 years dealing with to get to the legislation enacted in 1986 who outright lied to his face.

Reagan screwed up by trusting the damned Democrats to follow through and do what they promised to do in that "deal".  Big/huge mistake.

The Congress which passed this legislation in 1986 was GOP controlled in the Senate and Democrat controlled in the House.  It was only after passing this POS law in 1986 did Americans find out they were duped and the Senate went to the Democrats that same year.

The Republicans in Congress were every bit as culpable as the Democrats.

I won't argue with that.

Point remains that Reagan did everything within his power to get the best deal possible.
