If the child is an American citizen then the parents ought to be able to claim them when filing for taxes. Here's the real sticker: Illegals are actually filing for and paying their taxes. So much for claiming they aren't paying taxes, and merely sucking off the system.

This goes to show, that SOME illegals are filing taxes.. Generally being low wage earners, one can assume they "get back" everything paid in. Assuming they are employed (illegally) by someone who doesn't care if they perpetuate the fraudulent employment of an illegal alien.

There will be exceptions I am sure, but few and far in between. We know that generally illegals are paid under the table anyway, so even this case where illegals are claiming tax credits for their children is going to be an exception.

There are legal ways to enter our country. I know immigrants who are genuinely upset and angry at those who are here illegally, because they went through the steps to do things the right way. Now that this issue is in the limelight, every single immigrant is looked upon negatively in most cases. Which is a shame. Also reminds me a bit of the rallys around the Oregon capitol building where the illegals would be angry that they are called illegals. Claiming, "We aren't illegal, that implies that we are criminals". /facepalm

How are the ILLEGAL parents filling taxes without SSN numbers if they are illegal then they don't have a SSN. The child that is a citizen has a SSN but a child doesn't file taxes.

I say if the parent files taxes then send INS to deliever the check and arrest and deport the parents at the same time as they are breaking the law by invading the USA and being here ILLEGALLY.

That would be funny here is your childs check and cuff them when they reach for it.....

Those that do, have fraudulent SSN made and fake identities. I remember seeing this sort of thing when I lived in SoCal years ago. Without a detailed look at the SSN and identity it flies under the IRS radar. Although it is a gamble even then. If one gets picked out for an audit randomly.. You bet your ass that INS will be knocking on doors.

I'm pretty sure our goverment is more inclined to harrass and go after an American Citizen then go after someone here Illegally. That is the track record at lease not just under Obama but Bush and privious administrations.

If the goverment was serious about these criminals they would seal off the boarders and quit letting in those dam Canadians...

Who was reading in that I must be talking about the illegals from Mexico?

I met quite a few Canadian immigrants in SoCal as well. Except all of them had their VISAs and Green Cards. (The ones I was friends with anyway).

I would say some are or there are some paying some taxes. I know a few in the construction business and there is allot cash handed out instead. So no taxes there, but these same workers may still have tax paying jobs or even be able to claim refunds without claiming income.

I know this, because one such employer is a shout away from my house. By the way, those that get cash, still qualify for Welfare. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Please cite the law making the earnings of citizens the subject of the income tax. You can't do it.

Please, don't even start talking about a subject that you've not studied on. Don't even go with the 16th Amendment for many reasons.

BTW Only a withholding agent is paying the income tax.

Citizens are not required to obtain a SSN unless they wish to collect socialist security benefits.

If you wish to dispute this claim you will have to cite the law showing that citizens are required to have a SSN.

Taxes are figured and tracked by SSN numbers. You can't file a tax return without a SSN.

You are right, I do know nothing about this subject, which is why I have to offer a quote as an alternative. Sorry about using the Constitution, but you only said that I shouldn't try using the Sixteenth Amendment. You spoke nothing to the entirety of the Constitution.

I smell a Sovereign.

There is no provision in the Constitution for a tax on the labors of citizens.

In order to execute any of those powers the laws must be written please cite them.
