Rector told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week that the lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare benefits paid to the millions of immigrants to whom Obama is granting legal status will be about $1.3 trillion. Rector's calculation is based on his assumption that at least 3.97 million immigrants will receive legal status under Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, and the average DAPA beneficiary has only a 10th-grade education.

 

DAPA recipients, according to Rector's calculations, will receive $7.8 billion every year once they get access to the refundable earned income tax credit and the refundable additional child tax credit. Those EITC and ACTC recipients will also be allowed to claim credit for three years of illegal work, which will sock U.S. taxpayers for another $23.5 billion.

 

This was confirmed by IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, who told Congress on Feb. 11 that immigrants who didn't pay any taxes or who used fake Social Security numbers will nevertheless be able to claim back refunds under EITC once they get new Social Security numbers under Obama's amnesty. Koskinen said that he doesn't know how much these tax refunds will cost and that the White House never checked with him before announcing the amnesty.

 

Rector estimates that the combined cost of means-tested welfare benefits the immigrants who came here illegally now receive, plus other goodies such as EITC and ACTC cash, will encourage increased illegal immigration in the future. The average American, whose children and grandchildren will end up burdened with this enormous debt, must ask whether someone is trying to destroy America.

Are these statements (questions) correct or incorrect?


I do my own taxes using Turbotax.   About 2 years ago I checked out the Turbotax forum where you could ask them questions about your return.  There were multiple posts asking why they were receiving more money back than they paid in.  Some even said they paid no Fed tax due to a very low income but were still getting a refund in the thousands of dollars.  Turbotax responded that this was ok due to the child tax credits and earned income.  Based on that, I'll say you are incorrect, unless it's changed in the last two years.

You make too much money to qualify for EIC.  Which proves that the more you earn the more tax you pay and also proves that most poor don't pay any tax whatsoever and actually receive rebates on top of that.  Kinda blows up the whole argument that the poor shoulders the brunt of income taxes, doesn't it?
