The No Free Rides Act
While President Obama's executive actions on immigration is currently on hold thanks to the decision of a federal judge in Texas, the fight against these actions continues. This week I took an important step in that fight by introducing H.R. 1249, the No Free Rides Act to ensure no illegal immigrants who receive Social Security numbers via President Obama's executive actions are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
The Weekly Standard recently reported that illegal immigrants who receive Social Security numbers could receive up to $24,000 in taxpayer money via the EITC. The EITC was designed to give low income American families a little extra help and it must not be exploited by illegal immigrants whose first action on American soil was breaking the law and who have not paid the taxes that fund the EITC.
