Illegal Immigrants Would Get $10.5 Billion From Reconciliation Bill

"The budget reconciliation package pushed by Democrats creates a new expanded child tax credit (CTC) that would pay illegal immigrants some $10.5 billion next year. All immigrants with children are eligible, regardless of how they got here and whether their children are U.S.-born. This includes the roughly 600,000 unaccompanied minors and persons in family units stopped at the border in FY2021 and released into the country pending a hearing. Cash welfare to illegal immigrants is not just costly; it also encourages more illegal immigration.

Although it is referred to as a “refundable credit,” the new CTC, like the old additional child tax credit (ACTC) it replaces, pays cash to low-income families who do not pay any federal income tax. The new program significantly increases the maximum cash payment from $1,400 per child to $3,600 for children under 6, and to $3,000 for children ages 6 to 17. After 2022, the maximum payment would be $2,000 per child, but advocates hope the much larger payments will be extended."

Before 2017, all children with parents who met income requirements, regardless of citizenship, were eligible for the CTC. Parents could declare dependents using either a child’s Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number. The Trump Administration changed the rule, explicitly excluding some one million children without a Social Security Numbers from pandemic-related CTC support. The provision in the current bill would restore the pre-Trump criteria.

So Democrats were throwing taxpayer money at illegals.

Trump stopped it.

Now Democrats are throwing taxpayer money at illegals again.

Is that supposed to be a defense of this practice somehow?

There is nothing wrong with feeding children. It is not throwing money away.
I didn't say there was.
And I didn't say it was throwing money "away".

But unlike you radicals, I understand money is a finite resource that needs to be appropriately allocated. Throwing it at illegals and encouraging more to come here is bad policy.

Your argument is failed, as usual.

Under new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regulations updated on November 24, all air passengers two years of age or older boarding a flight from a foreign country to the United States must receive a COVID-19 test and show a negative test or present documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 90 days. before entering a flight. This requirement applies even if the person has been vaccinated.

Adding to the difficulty of getting tested before a flight, the passenger must obtain the test no more than three days before the flight if vaccinated, and no more than one day before the flight if not vaccinated against the virus.

The process described here is a summary of what is actually a complicated web of regulations and requirements that travelers and airlines must navigate to fly into the United States. The order is 65 pages long.

However, walking across our southern border requires nothing.

I’m sure my Governor is already working on fighting this. Ron DeSantis 2024!
Oh, you bet he is...lol

Expert troll: DeSantis budgets $8 million to transport illegal aliens sent to Florida to places like Delaware and Martha’s Vineyard


Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has added a bit of clever trolling to his impressively well-thought-out five-part plan to make up for the default of the Biden regime on border control.

This is brilliant on multiple grounds:
  1. Any protest against, say, a planeload of illegals landing at Martha’s Vineyard Airport, would only highlight the point that illegals are being flown at taxpayer expense to states far from the border – in the dead of night, often.
  2. If one wishes to call the DeSantis plan “illegal” or “improper,” then the same terms must also apply to the Biden plan currently underway.
  3. It would mobilize public opinion in blue states against the influx.
  4. The expense is easily justifiable because of the social welfare and education costs attendant to illegal immigrants. Again, objections would just emphasize the costs of the Biden plan.
