Illegal immigrants will receive huge payments from American taxpayers under rules now being imposed by President Barack Obamas unilateral amnesty.
The illegals will get work-permits and Social Security cards, and will be required to pay taxes, according to Cecilia Munoz, the former immigration lobbyist who is now a top Obama aide.
That means theyre part of the tax system, she said, when she was asked if the illegals would get annual payments under the Earned Income Tax Credit program.
They are subject to our tax law, she said, carefully.
Most households of illegals have very low income, and pay little in taxes. For example, in 2011, roughly 22 percent of immigrant households both legal and illegal were classified as living in poverty. In contrast, only 13 percent of American households were in poverty.
However, once illegal immigrants are enrolled in the tax system, theyre would be entitled to EITC payments
