So they’ll be able to claim the EITC going forward, which means untold billions in wealth transfers from American citizens to our new quasi-legal class of self-invited “guest workers.” And not just going forward, as it turns out: Under the law, you can claim the EITC retroactively for the three previous years by filing amended returns for those years. Surely that doesn’t apply to illegals too, wondered GOP Rep. Mick Mulvaney at yesterday’s House hearing on the IRS. After all, their status during the last three years was fully illegal, sans Social Security numbers. Surely they can’t claim benefits retroactively for those years now.

They sure can, says IRS chief John Koskinen:

Is this worth getting upset over? After all, the fix is already in.

Hey, the illegals need the cash for gas to get to the drivers' license office and then the polling station on election day.

President Obama’s temporary deportation amnesty will make it easier for illegal immigrants to improperly register and vote in elections, state elections officials testified to Congress on Thursday, saying that the driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers they will be granted create a major voting loophole.

While stressing that it remains illegal for noncitizens to vote, secretaries of state from Ohio and Kansas said they won’t have the tools to sniff out illegal immigrants who register anyway, ignoring stiff penalties to fill out the registration forms that are easily available at shopping malls, motor vehicle bureaus and in curbside registration drives.

Anyone registering to vote attests that he or she is a citizen, but Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said mass registration drives often aren’t able to give due attention to that part, and so illegal immigrants will still get through.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach said even some motor vehicle bureau workers automatically ask customers if they want to register to vote, which some noncitizens in the past have cited as their reason for breaking the law to register.

“It’s a guarantee it will happen,” Mr. Kobach said.

The "Margin of Fraud" just got larger, along with the tax bills paid by those who work for a living.

Not a surprise to me at all, I expected shenanigans like this all along with the amnesty bullshit. 

And the Dems cement their hold on the Hispanic voting bloc with these moves, despite the morons in the GOP "reaching across the aisle" in a rush to betray the citizens in hopes of gaining the Hispanic vote.

Just another reason EVERY AMERICAN needs health care . . . to help control the rising blood pressure caused by these stories.

Here's a thought. Part of the funding for Obamacare was the fee/penalty/tax/not-tax if you didnt have the right coverage...

How do they find this out?

By asking you. No verification

"Yeah, i got coverage, *expletive deleted*ck your fee, gimme my EITC and child tax credits and etc etc etc."

So much for that revenue source as anything other than fantasy.

It does not cause my blood pressure to rise anymore.

My rage is too precious to expend on this. I simply accept it, carefully remember it, and wait for the collapse.

Everyone relax.  They are not going to file amended returns.  They were already using ITIN's and claiming every kid in Mexico as their dependents to max out the EITC and the Additional Child Tax Credit in many, many prior years.

One local tax preparer has just now put a sign in Spanish.

There's little to no reason not to engage in fraud. They're already illegals. Worst we can do is deport them, which we won't.

...and they have no assets to seize or anything else to lose for that matter, unlike the middle class schleps who pay for it all.

Nope, just get upset over things you can control.

last year or the year before I heard someone say the IRS sent nearly $10 Million in returns to a single address in Atlanta.  I think the commenter indicated that no investigation was done.

The IRS only investigates people with the wrong politics.
