If it isn’t bad enough that the government is rushing to send out rebate checks when they are probably not needed and not bad enough that they are sending them to people who paid no taxes, the government might also send rebate checks to ILLEGAL immigrants. The bill, as it is written, specifically states that ILLEGALS are not allowed rebates but since many ILLEGALS use false ID to get jobs and to pay taxes, they might end up collecting a rebate.
It isn’t bad enough that they come here illegally and they get jobs illegally but now they might be collecting a rebate check illegally when millions of Americans will not get one. As I stated, I don’t think the rebates are a smart move and I believe they amount to nothing more than a payoff during an election year. Regardless, the government should not be sending checks to ILLEGALS. To top it off, an ILLEGAL who paid taxes but has been deported might have a check sent to his native country. This is insane.
I don’t care that they paid taxes because they came here ILLEGALLY and they obtained jobs ILLEGALLY. As far as I am concerned they should lose what they paid in and be sent home. The problem is that the IRS is not a law enforcement agency (except when it locks you up for not paying) so it has no idea who is legal and who is not.
As an aside, lost in the rebate issue is the admission by Democrats that tax cuts are good and stimulate the economy. Besides being an election year payoff, the Democrats have admitted that giving people back their own money (in this case someone else’s) brings more revenue into the treasury. Nancy Pelosi stated that each dollar of broad tax cuts leads to $1.26 in economic growth and the mere act of giving it back to stimulate the economy shows they know tax cuts are good. I have news for her, this is true even when the economy is good. Lower taxes mean that people have more money to spend.
But we should not be giving it to ILLEGALS…
