So children should suffer for the "sins of their fathers"? These people we are talking about likely came here as children, brought by their parents. They've likely gone to US public schools and want what children raised in the US often want to do...go to college.
What's YOUR solution for these kids?
Correct.
And punishing children for the sins of their fathers violates the basic tenets of Anglo-American jurisprudence declared un-Constitutional by the Court in Weber v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co. (1972).
That case had to do with the rights of illegitimate children to inherit the wealth and property of their parents on par with their legitimate siblings. It has absolutely no application to this discussion.
Furthermore, if punishing children for the sins of their fathers violated the basic tenets of Anglo-American jurisprudence then Affirmative Action policies and racial considerations in education would be illegal.
Bush, Kerry, McCain all had "Affirmative Action". Being rich and connected opens doors for many undeserving. Look at McCain. Graduated 5 FROM THE BOTTOM out of a 899 graduating class. He had to be worst in every class. Not one, not two, but all. With a class that big, it's very possible he didn't share a single class with those four more stupid than him.
IRS doles billions in tax credits to “undocumented workers”
Individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States (i.e. immigrants in the country illegally) last year collected $4.2 billion in tax refunds from the Internal Revenue Service, according to a new audit from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
A little something called the Additional Child Tax Credit is to blame. The audit explains (emphasis mine):
Many individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States, and thus not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) for employment, earn income in the United States. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides such individuals with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to facilitate their filing of tax returns. Although the law prohibits aliens residing without authorization in the United States from receiving most Federal public benefits, an increasing number of these individuals are filing tax returns claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), a refundable tax credit intended for working families. The payment of Federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside, and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts Federal law and policy to remove such incentives.
When the author of the audit states “an increasing number” of illegal immigrants are claiming the ACTC, he’s not kidding. Claims for the credit have increased five-fold, from $924 million in 2005 to $4.2 billion last year.
The IRS says it doesn’t have the authority to disallow the claims. Apparently, the law doesn’t explicitly forbid unauthorized workers from claiming the tax credit, so the IRS just has to dole it out. And recent changes to tax law have made the refund even easier to obtain.
Correct.
