No such “lawfully present” immigrant, however, would be immediately entitled to the benefits because like all Social Security and Medicare recipients they would have to work 10 years to become eligible for retirement payments and health care. To remain qualified, either Congress or future administrations would have to extend Obama’s actions so that those immigrants would still be considered lawfully present in the country.

Difficult to calculate any additional tax revenue from illegals, as many are working for cash and not paying taxes.
Pelosi's 'windfall profits tax' will easily cover the additional costs and you'll feel very little impact on your 401k or IRA. The giverment has finally figured out a way to rob our savings accounts and they're using prospective democratic voters to do justify it. Pretty ingenious I'd say.

The leaders of Ponzi schemes always need new suckers. With 54 million abortions since roe v wade the GIVERnment needs new money for old schemes. The real smart illegals will not sign up for citizenship.

If the Pubs really wanted to stick it to Obama's immigration "order", they'd propose a 25% tax on wire transfers from people in the U.S. to locations in Mexico. Use the tax receipts to fund Social Security.

I think a lot of them will work legit jobs up to the point where they max out on the Federal EITC, so it's actually worse then that from a net taxes paid (refund) standpoint.

"And can you tell us Warden Smith, what was your first clue or hint that the prisoners were engaged in the bogus IRS refund claims scheme ?"
"Well, it was the small things at first, you know up grading the furniture, lighting and assorted knickknacks in the cells, then the hallways, installation of individual bathrooms, but what really clued me in was when they installed the crystal chandeliers and started using individually monogramed Louis Vuitton silver place settings, plates, cups and saucers on Martha Stewart table cloths in the dining room."

Unfortunately, this isn't 'news' in the sense that it's recent; this crap's been going on for at least twenty years. Remember the 60 Minutes thing on prisoners sending out bogus 1099 forms way, way back? Different side of the same coin.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
