In the latest sign of anger over President Joe Biden’s open borders agenda that has welcomed a record number of illegal immigrants, the public is turning against granting child tax credits to those who crossed the border illegally.
And not only do a majority of likely voters oppose granting a $1,800 tax credit to illegal immigrants even if they pay no taxes, but they don’t favor the payoff even if the child is a legal U.S. citizen.
The results of the survey provided to Secrets from the Center for Excellence in Polling demonstrate the concerns people have over the Trump-era credit awaiting a Senate vote and GOP concerns it includes a loophole to push money to illegal immigrant parents.
While giving a child tax credit to illegal immigrant parents might not have been controversial in the past, the surge in opposition to unlawful border crossings due to Biden’s wide-open door has turned the country against it and led to proposals in the Senate to stop it.
