WooHoo2You::::You putting “according to” at the beginning of a sentence does not make something true.

It certainly does not make it false either. You know what the truth is, but you will insist with your dying breath that these illegals need to be protected and catered to. Sorry, it doesn't work like that.

Why are non citizens getting any tax breaks/credits anyway? If you are not a citizen, then you deserve nothing from our government!

I really do hope that WRAL stays on this story, this type of thing has gone on for years and people just let it go, good job WRAL and thanks for confronting a problem many seem to shy away from.

Discontinue the tax credits as well as the deduction for children for everyone. Even Americana citizens. In its place tax each child. People who cant afford children and have to depend on government welfare dont get my sympathy. The income tax exemption you get for children is just another form of government welfare. Society doesnt benefit from your children. There are already more people than there are jobs. There should be a government mandate limiting the number of children. The more childen you have--the less taxes you pay. Something is wrong with that.

Lopo,

-@ WooHoo2You Hello earth to woohoo2you, you should know employees fill out their W2's but you can't question them and they also talk about it. And yes, i do speak Spanish.(and yes I was in HR)

You also claimed you know how they filled their taxes….is that typically part of a Human Resources job description or just more fantasy?

-But you are right about same day registration, I shouldn't sterotype and I apologize, sometime I just figure you can't speak English and havre no ID they might be illegal.

Now they “might” be illegal…again, were you behind them in line at the polling place? How did you know they did not have ID if ID is not required to vote? Did you hire them without ID? You do realize that is illegal?

- But when at work when they also brag about voting, it kind of narrows it down.

I have yet to hear anyone ever “brag” about voting.

-please quit making excuses for them when it is happening under our noses.

I have not made excuses for anyone.

I'm pretty permissive and think there should be clear paths to citizenship, especially the Dream Act, but I find it hard to defend the logic of refundable tax credits for non-citizens.

Society benefits from our children. Sure the tax credit helps families get by, but it also ancourages and rewards us for making more citizens to benefit the country in the future.

But when at work when they also brag about voting, it kind of narrows it down. I'm not going to insult anyone but it is happening and our state is a safe haven for illegals.

Only thing we ask is too enforce the law, please quit making excuses for them when it is happening under our noses.

More WIC and American flag food stamp cards for them. Undocumented Democrats need your tax money.

This shouldn't even need to be said. If the IRS would investigate, bunches of money would sure stay and not get given away. Illegal 'residents' should have NO tax credits-----THEY ARE ILLEGAL. If the child doesn't live IN THE HOME no credit......

Not going to happen.
