Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), for example, has offered up the \u201cSafeguarding American Workers\u2019 Benefits Act\u201d to close a loophole that allows illegal immigrants to claim federal child tax credits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s face facts. Our national debt is unsustainable and only getting worse. Combine that with the taxpayer-funded benefits that are and will be claimed by the waves of illegal immigrants flooding across the border, and we\u2019re faced with the duty of finding areas where we can begin stemming government spending,\u201d Hyde-Smith said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The poll showed strong support for plans such as hers.<\/p>\n<p>When asked, \u201cShould illegal immigrants be able to receive the child tax credit?\u201d, 72% said no and 22% said yes.<\/p>\n<p>When asked, \u201cShould illegal immigrants with children who are citizens receive it?\u201d, 56% said no and 35% said yes.<\/p>\n<p>And 61% said the credit should not go to parents who pay no tax.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was conducted by the polling shop of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefga.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Foundation for Government Accountability<\/a>, which considers the child tax credit extension to illegal immigrants as a welfare program.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEE THE LATEST POLITICAL NEWS AND BUZZ FROM WASHINGTON SECRETS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA wide open border colliding with a wide open welfare program makes for a perfect storm of financial and social dysfunction. It would create another Washington-sized problem that American families can\u2019t afford,\u201d Tarren Bragdon, the president and CEO of the Foundation for Government Accountability, said.<\/p>\n<p>Bragdon also told us: \u201cExpanding the child tax credit might provide a temporary political sugar high. But any government program that incentivizes welfare over work and rewards illegal entry into the country will harm families much more than it will help. Senate Republicans backed away from the bipartisan border deal after public outcry on illegal immigration. Our polling shows they should back away from this welfare expansion as well if they want to remain in step with voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing discontent over President Biden&#8217;s open borders policy is evident in the opposition to providing child tax credits to undocumented immigrants.
