So obviously he has agendas too. Now be college grads and think for a second. 4 million producers have fled to other states in the last 2 decades. Yet CA’s population increased from about 30M to 38M from 1990 to 2010. hmmm. Now let’s add another little factoid into the mix. US tax data reveals that illegals are using ITIN filing numbers to collect literally $billions$ in child tax credits from our federal government. And the outflow has consistently increased from 2005-2010. In 2005 the outflow (tax credits (minus) taxes paid) or difference was about $280M. In 2010 that outflow increased to $3.2 BILLION. What does that indicate? Of course, that more illegals are flooding into the country, benefiting from the tax system – and NOT going back home. Outflows of tax credits to ITIN account holders are going UP – not down.

You don’t believe me? Ok. That’s fine. Do you believe the Inspector General of the Treasury Tax Administration? Let see what he says:

“Although the law prohibits aliens residing without authorization in the United States from receiving most Federal public benefits, an increasing number of these individuals are filing tax returns claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), a refundable tax credit intended for working families. The payment of Federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside, and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts Federal law and policy to remove such incentives.”

There you go. Checkmate. Mr. Kotkin missed a HUGE piece of the puzzle here. Seems like a guy as smart as he is would have easily connected the dots. For some strange reason he didn’t. Hmmmm. That’s why I’m here. To tell you the WHOLE truth 😀
