An illegal named Christina and her husband are both illegals. They had 3 kids in America, so they have been filing the “earned income tax credit year after year”

Every year they’ve been getting $9,000

“She was receiving $9,000 for the earned income tax credit year after year, and now she's complaining because they filed their taxes and they're getting zero”

“The big beautiful bill changed something and it's barely coming to light — At least President Trump put that a stop to that”

*refunds. You file a return. You (may) receive a refund.

If they actually had their wages withheld for taxes, I have absolutely no problem with an illegal getting a return. It's the ones getting money "back" without putting anything into the system is who I have a problem with, whether they are a citizen or not. All taxes should be illegal.

Who knows how much in taxes they paid? The main point of them filing for taxes is to get the Free Money that is the Earned Income Tax Credit.

EITC is an absolute give away to low income people for each child in their household - $3000 per year per child - regardless of whether you had to pay very little in income taxes. It's a welfare give away.

The fact that millions of illegal aliens have been getting the EITC for who knows how many decades is just another example of how very far the USA is from healing and getting better from the current state of Rot. Trump is working very hard to fix things, but, they are trying to kill him because he's doing this.

I do not believe that either major US political party has any intention of truly doing what's necessary to fix the USA.

I still can’t wrap my head around someone being here illegally, having an ITIN number and filing a return.

I need to see the mechanics of how that was possible.

How did they get loans or driver's licenses?

You need a SSN to file and SSN for dependents. Not sure how this works.

It seems like it would be easy to flag the ITIN numbers with an expiration date and require proof of legal status before accepting a return.

With the amount of CIP and information gathering they want us to do in the financial services industry, this is pretty wild.

I do, they shouldn't be in the US illegally.

It's like sneaking on a cruise ship, and then entering your name in the raffle for a free return trip next year, and then singing in the talent show.

Now she can go back to where she came from and complain.

EIC has never made any sense. You didn’t earn much, but we’re going to give you credit for earning enough that we can give you a fat “refund” of taxes you never paid. Meanwhile, you and I…
