Did you know that the Republicans in Congress have put forth a proposal that would deny child tax credits to illegal immigrants? These tax credits amount to an average $1,800 refund check per family. The proposal would require families receiving such tax credits to have social security numbers. It would cut federal spending by an estimated $10 billion over a decade. Let's see -- isn't there a bleeding heart argument that illegals aren't a drain on the taxpayer? This kind of shoots that one out of the water, doesn't it?
I agree with the Republicans who say it's crazy to even be having a debate over the issue of giving money to people who sneak into the country illegally.
