Illegal Immigrants Could Reap More Than $7B In Tax Credits This Year, Senator Says

Illegal immigrants could receive more than $7 billion this year in federal tax credits, according to one estimate, thanks to a loophole in the law that allows people not authorized to work to reap the government payments with no questions asked. 
Sen. Jeff Sessions' office calculated that, based on recent trends, illegal immigrants could receive roughly $7.4 billion through a provision known as the Additional Child Tax Credit. That's more than quadruple what the payout was four years ago, but the payments have been steadily increasing over the past decade.

I work at a call center. We get calls from them everyday and they can't speak English. I ask for their account number and they reply. I ask them to verify their birthdate and again they reply. Don't tell me they can't speak English if they can understand it! I would never go to another country and expect them to change the rules for me. It's like going to the coldest place in the world on vacation and packing summer clothes and expect them to keep me warm because I am there.
