NOT DONALD ISN'T ENOUGH, BUT IT'S A START:
Dems Tuck Multibillion-Dollar Handout to Illegal Immigrants Into Reconciliation (Joseph Simonson • October 4, 2021, Washington Examiner)
President Joe Biden's budget includes a provision that provides billions of dollars in cash to illegal aliens with children.The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill extends the Child Tax Credit to anyone in the United States who provides an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, overturning a crucial safeguard against fraud. Federal law required a valid Social Security number to receive the cash transfer from the federal government. The potential payout for illegal immigrants is massive, with each family receiving a monthly payment of $250 to $300 per child.A survey from the Pew Research Center found that roughly 675,000 children are not eligible for a Social Security number, making the tax credit expansion for illegal aliens cost between $2.025 billion to $2.43 billion a year. Other estimates put the total number of illegal children residing in the United States at more than 800,000.
