Obama squeezes Americans for amnesty bonus program for illegal immigrants
Examiner
Millions of illegal immigrants could get a hefty sum of taxpayers' money from the IRS thanks to part of President Barack Obama's unilateral amnesty. Many of these immigration lawbreakers, who continue to illegally live and work in the U.S., will soon be offered at least four years' worth of tax credits, according to news reports on Saturday.
The tax credits were initiated by a past Congressional action in order to benefit the working poor who are legally living in the U.S. either as citizens or 'green card' immigrants. Thanks to President Obama and the already politically-driven Internal Revenue Service (IRS) some families of illegal immigrants may received upwards of $20,000.
While Republican lawmakers are calling this latest giveaway to illegal aliens "amnesty bonuses," they are being portrayed by the Democrats and news media as mean-spirited since the GOP sees this IRS scheme to be one more reason to oppose Obama's shielding of millions of immigrants from deportation.
Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Texas, a senior lawmaker on the House Ways and Means Committee, said simply, "I think these amnesty rewards, and that's what they are, need to be stopped." Obama signed a number of executive orders to help between five or six million immigrants avoid deportation. In addition, he's proposed other benefits that will help them gain benefits not enjoyed by citizens.
Republicans in Congress who oppose Obama's actions have added a provision to the Department of Homeland Security funding bill to void the Obama immigration policies passed through executive fiat. The Democrats and their allies within the news media are attempting to turn public opinion against the GOP by claiming they are resisting which may result in having to shut down the Homeland Security Department.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen confirmed that illegal aliens granted de facto amnesty by President Obama will be eligible to receive extra refunds from the IRS for money they earned while working illegally. "This whole deal is being done quietly by the IRS and the Obama administration and most of the legacy news media are going along with the scheme by either ignoring the illegal alien tax refunds or by being disingenuous in their coverage," said former police investigator and corporate security and risk management director, Walter Edsel Davis. "This is another case of Obama lawlessness and the news media are aiding and abetting that lawlessness," Davis added.
