Many individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States, and thus not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) for employment, earn income in the United States. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides such individuals with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to facilitate their filing of tax returns. Although the law prohibits aliens residing without authorization in the United States from receiving most Federal public benefits, an increasing number of these individuals are filing tax returns claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), a refundable tax credit intended for working families. The payment of Federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside, and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts Federal law and policy to remove such incentives.
Individuals Who Are Not Authorized to Work in the United States Were Paid $4.2 Billion in Refundable Credits

Just being contrary is your agenda, not mine...

Most of the prior links were to articles that were talking about the EITC, this report discusses the Child Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit claim on ITIN filers. It makes recommendations as to how to stop it.

So, not quite the same as the previously titled topics.

Regardless, such a travesty is well worth repeating. After all, it's OUR money being stolen by these illegal fraudsters.

Older topics quoted the same report (I remember, because I linked it in)...

Rubenstein on EITC can be dismissed very quickly, it fails the laugh test...

Sure, I can copy and paste the posts I did before...

Yeah, we can't let a good diatribe expire (remember the definition of insanity?)...

There is more resurrected here than on anything to do with a Halloween theme...

What other forum do you see a topic dead four years with a new comment of "I agree all the way with you!"?...

There's an easy solution: Don't post on resurrected threads, and they will again die. And, don't post on threads unless you want to participate in the discussion. It's that simple.
