President Obama: Undocumented Immigrants Who Worked âOff The Booksâ Can Still File Taxes, Get A Refund
President Obama is making waves this morning after announcing an extremely controversial decision that will causes massive changes and government payouts for immigrants, this time allowing illegals to file taxes to get a refund. Illegal aliens who worked âoff the booksâ throughout 2014 will be able to get refunds on taxes they would have paid. The President says he will allow them to use the honor system, and that illegal immigrants can file using an approximation of their earned income.âWe need to stop treating undocumented immigrants like second class people, we are better than that,â said President Obama. âThese hard working men and women are forced to work off the books, in the shadows of our employment systems. Just because they didnât pay into theÂ State or Federal government like people normally do with taxes withheld from their paychecks, does not mean they donât deserve to have their refunds.ââBecause undocumented aliensÂ wonât be receiving a W-2 form, these workersÂ will be allowed to estimate how much they got paid in 2014,â said White House press secretary Joe Myers. âTheir refund will be based on their estimate and how much would of been withheld if they actually paid taxes. We estimate that these people, who in many cases have risked life-and-limb to make it to the United States, would not risk lying about their income to increase a return.Â WeÂ have faith in all undocumented immigrants.ââApparently Obama does not understand how taxes work, or where the refunds are coming from,â said Senator Ted Cruz.â Well, I do, and if you have no state and federal taxes withheld, you donât get a refund. Heâs just giving them free money, and heâs buying democratic votes with this plan. The problem is the money isnât free, itâs coming right from the pockets of hard working Americans. When Iâm elected President, Iâll make it so uncomfortable for illegals, they will be climbing the fence back into Mexico.âÂ
