More Welfare to Illegal Immigrants

The Washington Times reports that the IRS will supply illegal immigrants with Social Security numbers and grant Earned Income Tax Credit if they have previously filed income tax returns.
The Washington Times says illegal immigrants can now potentially claim billions of dollars in additional payments they were ineligible for before the amnesty.
I doubt that there were very many illegal immigrants that filed income tax returns, but I suppose it's possible if they worked for companies requiring that the employee submit a W-4 form, which allows withholding for federal taxes. The company then later supplies the employee with a W-2 form indicating wages paid and a copy of this goes to the IRS.
Whether there are billions of dollars paid out to illegals in additional earned income tax credits or not, it's obviously a step in the wrong direction. Let's remember that an Earned Income Tax Credit is really a welfare payment. The misnomer has been applied by the federal government to deceive the general public into thinking that the taxpayer receiving the Earned Income Tax Credit is using a credit against his income tax, but is still paying taxes. That's wrong. People receiving earned income tax credits normally do not qualify for income taxes, and therefore receive a cash payment.
So with Pres. Obama's dictatorial amnesty program, we now have more illegal immigrants on welfare.
