From Fox 5:
Undocumented workers in the US collected $4.2 billion in a certain tax credit last year, up from less than $1 billion five years ago, according to a new audit by the Treasury Department's Inspector General for Tax Administration revealed Friday.
The report looked only at a tax benefit known as the Additional Child Tax Credit, a refundable credit meant for working families. The audit found that as a result of vague US law -- as well as an expansion of the tax credit in stimulus legislation and other measures -- the number of illegal workers collecting the money has skyrocketed.
The inspector general's office expressed concern about the trend and urged the IRS and Treasury Department to determine once and for all whether that money should be paid out.
"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," the report said.

n the case of policy in the Middle East, it is no secret that Jewish organizations were at the forefront of the immigration policy shift implemented by the 1965 Act. Consider the assessment of Vanderbilt University historian Hugh Davis Graham in his book Collision Course: The Strange Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in America
"Most important for the content of immigration reform, the driving force at the core of the movement, reaching back to the 1920s, were Jewish organizations long active in opposing racial and ethnic quotas Following the shock of the Holocaust, Jewish leaders had been especially active in Washington in furthering immigration reform. To the public, the most visible evidence of the immigration reform drive was played by Jewish legislative leaders, such as Representative [Emmanuel] Celler and Senator Jacob Javits of New York. Less visible, but equally important, were the efforts of key advisers on presidential and agency staffs. These included senior policy advisers such as Julius Edelson and Harry Rosenfield in the Truman administration, Maxwell Rabb in the Eisenhower White House, and presidential aide Myer Feldman, assistant secretary of state Abba Schwartz, and deputy attorney general Norbert Schlei in the Kennedy-Johnson administration."(pp. 5657)
Thems Demmicrats a bornin'
walk down the street in Jackson Heights and Woodside. see for yourself the illegal immigrant woman who are pushing baby carriages, have three children holding on to the carriage and are constantly pregnant. stand in line behind them at the check out counter and wait while their WIC checks are processed.
Fox 5 isn't telling us something we don't already know.
cut off the gravy train, stop all government aid to illegal immigrants and their jackpot babies.
We have enough people in the USA at this point.
the Demmicrats want all the votes , well lets vote the Demmicrats out and start NEW, and get all the illegals the hell out and well get our jobs back
"..get all the illegals the hell out and well get our jobs back"
You want the jobs Mexicans do? Fine, then clean out your own f'ing-basement, do your own construction work and apply for those busboy-delivery and cook jobs at your local restaurant.
Get your lard-ass out of that car and WORK!
Get your lard-ass out of that car and WORK!
So, genius, tell us why the black unemployment rate is the highest it's been in 27 years:

Also, I just came back from vacation out west - Utah and Arizona. A Navajo tour guide mentioned to me that the unemployment rate on the reservation is 60%!
Do you really think that the black and Navajo unemployment rate is so high because these folks need to get their "lard asses out of their cars and work"?
Queens Crap readers would love to read your astute economic analysis, Dr. Krugman!
Get your lard-ass out of that car and WORK!
Hey! How are YOUR Lardass Jeans fitting these days?
read :"the secret knowledge" by David Mamet. the dismantling of the American culture.
Sweden is already dismantled and Norway is next....
Look folk, the jobs I mentioned are unskilled and don't require much education.
Mexicans, Salvadorians etc apply and get them. Blacks, for the most part don't.
As an employer I can tell you honestly that Latin Americans are good, reliable employees.
I live in Manhattan but go to the boroughs every day. ALL of the gardening, construction and restaurant work I see is now being done by Latin Americans.
This is true even in small private home jobs such as the aforementioned basement cleanings etc.
If you have a problem with this -ask your neighbors why they hire them.
If you don't like the fact that businesses hire them -don't patronize them (you won't be missed).
Save the self-righteous hypocrisy.
"ALL of the gardening, construction and restaurant work I see is now being done by Latin Americans."
That's because they accept less than minimum wage. Try getting work in those fields at the legal rate and see who offers. No one will, because of all the illegal labor available.
Seriously, do you think we are that stupid?
Q-C, we pay minimum and above for the non-gratuity positions.
Linem cooks make $32-38K Managers from $27-40K depending on size of location, yeas in.
Most of the ones doing what you cite are your precious mom-n-pops and your neighbors.
..And no, I don't think you are stupid.
Really, so Fresh Direct is a mom and pop? Are you going to tell me there are no low-wage LEGAL immigrant workers to take these jobs? They certainly seem to be able to find work in locations where having legal ID is a requirement and not just considered to be a suggestion.
asian homeowners only hire asian day laborers,in queens.
my guess is that they are illegal aliens.and are not nyc licensed artisans.
the day laborers will street shape up near the owners project each day.
why are union workers and leaders enabling this practice?
Thanks a lot, folks! Now I'M being deported. Can someone please call the Tanners and let them know that I'm outta here??!!?!?!
Na-Nu! Na-Nu!
Yeah! And can someone alert Mindy for me?
Shazbot!!!
Anonymous Traitor ;-( So you hire Illegals ?? You contribute to the problem ;-( I work I clean my own home I mow my own lawn and still I pay for illegals and their Jackpot babies ;-(
Here is a loop-hold the Obana Administration should close immediately - No tax credit, no refund, no IRS payment to non-green card holders. In fact their information should be collected, documented and arrested for fraud and crimanal entry in to the US.

And only hire asian Real Estate agents (who only show to asian buyers), only go to asian markets, etc, etc
They are an invasive, self-sustaining colony, and we are letting them set up shop here.
