Lawmakers are warning that President Obama's immigration executive actions could open the door for millions of illegal immigrants to qualify for hefty tax "credits" regardless of whether they've filed or paid taxes in the past.

All they need is a Social Security number.

Obama's November announcement paves the way for up to 4 million illegal immigrants to obtain Social Security numbers and work permits. After some initial confusion, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told Congress this week that this would make them eligible for what's known as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) providing they've been working.

"If you get a Social Security number, you can then file for this year if you're working, and if you earned income in the three years before that and filed, you'll be eligible," Koskinen told a House oversight committee hearing.

Further, he said, they would likely be able to get that credit even if they hadn't filed for three years. According to some estimates, the tax credit combined with others could add up to billions over the next decade.

We are a wealthy country. It's to be expected to a degree and within the law.

'Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When first we practise to deceive!' But who is fooling who one wonders. If they ramped up the IRS the righties would cry, so live with it and by the way anything on Fox should be taken with an immense grain of salt. Momma used to say, don't believe everything you hear, today believe little when its purpose is to condemn. Some subjects they do challenge the wit and wisdom of the crowd. Too quick to judge too quick a fool. Just sayin... http://www.factcheck.org/2012/05/tax-credits-for-illegal-immigrants/
