Q: Does the IRS pay billions in tax refunds to workers who are in the U.S. illegally?
A: Yes. The Treasury Department’s Inspector General determined that $4.2 billion was paid in 2010, up from less than $1 billion in 2005. Leading Democrats are resisting a bill that would stop future payments.
It'd be great if congress could plug that hole. Hell, they've had the votes for the last two years and Trump did absolutely nothing.
18 million???? That's the figure we're going with? That's hell of a LOT of illegals, working jobs where taxes are taken out. So how many more are drug dealers, rapists, and gang members, or are they included in the 18M figure, and just moonlight doing the bad things?
It is the Free Shi+ Army check.

Of course, that article is from 2012. I'd be curious what the current figures are.
Well it took Obama eight years to get us well on the road to ruin. Can't Trump have at least that long to fix everything
Or said another way...The point (and why do I even have to tell you this?) is missing a months worth of checks SHOULD be no more than a blip to the vast majority of people. Everybody is well aware that proper money management requires them to have several months of income socked away. If they do not, that is THEIR problem. Not mine, yours or Trumps. It comes down to (again) personal responsibility and the left's ardent desire to avoid same although in this particular situation it applies to many people in general.

How DARE you suggest there is something immoral about my beloved shutdown! Well you can’t have it. It’s MY shutdown and I’ll just blame the people not getting paychecks even though that does not justify the shutdown. It’s their fault because they don’t listen to our financial lord and savior, David Ramsey.
Remind me which check that is?
I also noticed that you've replaced the long standing "illegal alien" with "illegal Invader".
1. Are there any "legal" invaders?
2. I hope you didn't criticize the left when they adopted the term, "undocumented citizen".
EDIT: And the more important point: many employees are not gone - they simply aren't getting paid on time. You can't miss what hasn't stopped.
Wha?
The Child tax credit was set long before he took office. Trump was suppose to make these yuge improvements and simplifications to the tax code.
If you're going to make and promise, then try to claim you did it, you should at least get some of the low hanging fruit like this situation.
I was just pointing out how easily people slide from 'Trump won't/can't do anything he is promising, you're all being suckered' to ignoring the promises he has kept or attempted to keep and criticizing him because he hasn't fixed everything they think should be fixed
I suspect if Mitt Romney had done everything Trump has done, but in a more cultured way; and failed to do what you perceive Trump has failed to do, you would be praising him as the greatest thing since sliced Moroni. You need to stop letting your feelings about the man colour your feelings about the job he is getting done. I still think he is the only one of the fifteen who could have brought us this far. I've seen way to many Republicans lay down their swords for no higher purpose than they wish to be liked, to find their self worth exclusively in the adulation of others
I bet Germans were saying the exact same thing in the early 1930s. Actually, they were.
So you're back to "Trump is literally Hitler".
