The article I linked has an original source of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which issued the report. Why disregard that for second-hand titling? Tax regulations with allowances for relatives in Mexico are under the same rules as for relatives in Canada.
So why aren't you kvetching about the Canadians that are claimed that way too? The average credits were about $1,800, so it isn't "thousands of dollars" for all of them (nor is it "welfare"). Did you not understand the quote of previous tax years being used to claim child tax credits?
Let me provide you an example. My wife and stepchildren gained legal residency a full three tax years after we had married. Do I not claim tax credits for the time they lived in Mexico awaiting a legal immigration path to come to the United States, even though I was supporting them through my taxed income?
The thought is that those with ITINs not being authorized to work in the United States may not even be living (or much less working) in the United States anyway. So why are you generically labeling those with ITINs as "illegal aliens"? Work on reforming tax regulations if you don't like credits that families like mine were able to claim legally.
Tell that to the people who did the story. All I know is our tax structure needs a complete overhaul from the ground up. It's to complicated for everyone and more so each year. Now they want to do our health care That is a formula for disaster.
I sourced the same article earlier, but "factcheck.org" has it slightly incorrect. Someone with an ITIN may not even live or work in the United States, so it is wrong to generically identify them as being either an illegal worker or an illegal alien. Perhaps you would rather mix up legal and illegal immigrants into one category?
After all, you do have issues with Hispanics legally immigrating, even if they are related to U.S. citizens...

Cool, you don't want to discuss Canadians relatives qualifying for the same tax breaks, nor correct yourself after hearing a legitimate story. What is so "complicated" about saying you want to object to tax code when it involves Mexicans? Here is the original report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (again), which identifies the $4.2 billion going to those with ITINs:
So how much journalistic integrity is needed to write for "The Examiner"?...

I didn't write the articles I just posted them. If you don't agree with them then take it up with them.
Don't put words in my mouth or misquote me. I don't have a problem with Hispanics legally migrating just as long as other groups can come in equal numbers for diversity's sake and I have told you that before so why are you making up something I have never said?

Great way to say you aren't responsible for any fiction you source...

It's really funny that every time you say "diversity" now, I know enough to translate it as "everyone but Hispanics". You've got a name for yourself. Ask anyone that has interacted with you on this forum, every single time you bring it back to Hispanics, how they speak Spanish, how their population is expanding, everything that you just cannot stomach about that ethnicity.

Fiction to you perhaps.
Why is it that every time I use the word diversity you translate that into meaning everyone but Hispanics when I have told you otherwise many times. If you don't stop accusing me of things I have never said nor implied I will have a talk with Yac about it.
So it isn't a fact that everywhere I go many if not most Hispanics are speaking exclusively in Spanish? Are you accusing me of lying now? It isn't a fact that their population is expanding and a good share of is from illegal immigration? Why are facts offensive to you? The only thing I have said about Hispanics in general is that they don't seem to want to choose English as their primary language and that I don't think it is right for them to support illegal immigrants and amnesty simply because most illegals are ethnically like them. So stop with the "I just can't stomach them" nonsense. If you can't respond to me without false accusations then don't respond to me at all.

You have enough abilities to defend yourself in debate if you can, why do you always threaten people with moderator intervention?:

Quote you: "And we have a problem with white people who are "concerned for our nation" which really is used to mask the "racism" that you actually are trying to hide".

Fact is, you just need to stop being offended by an entire ethnicity like you are more important than them...
Isn't it great when you can make (even within the last couple days) my talking points better than I can?:

I don't understand this reference to fertility rates. Most humans are fertile. It's a matter of using birth control.

Your (strange) perspective to Hispanics:
How can it possibly be strange to feel you have more in common with your fellow Americans who share a language and culture than with people of a foreign country? Hispanic doesn't equal illegal aliens from foreign nations. Just like someone could have enough in common with American-hispanics who speak English and are part of the US culture, but have zero in common with illegals.

Three of those quotes by me were from the Politics forum and not even directed at him. Why are they being dragged over to this forum? There is something wrong with me being able to relate more to my fellow black Americans than Hispanics and in the other forum I explained why also. One of those things were that most black-American's primary language is English. I also said that I don't understand a culture that would advocate for illegals just because most are ethnically like themselves also. No matter what ethnic group one is a part of we collectively as Americans should support the enforcement of our immigration laws. No one group is special in this country.
Yeah, everything was perfectly fine before 20 Jan 2009.
Try something other than partisan bs sometime.
It would be a nice change.
Why not move to a country that better suits your needs?
Yes, let's not forget that George W was meeting with Mexico's Presidente Fox to open up the US border to Mexico, but then 911 happened. Very few politicians really care about the common man. Particularly sickening are Sens Rubio, Schumer and Graham who are tripping over each other to legalize the illegals and ONLY emphasizing the positives of the CBO report while ignoring the negatives.
