Trump Hates Jews: a U.S. Jewish human rights NGO has praised the Trump administration for taking the Iranian threat against the Jews and the Jewish state seriously as opposed to the Obama administration, which based its policy on “wishful thinking.” “Unfortunately, the previous administration believed that it could moderate the mullah’s actions and words through negotiation and perks. We are grateful that the Trump administration is basing its policies on Iranian behavior, not wishful thinking,” they added. http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/...administration-for-strong-stand-against-iran/ Trump Hates Women: The first bill, the Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers and Innovators and Explorers Act (INSPIRE), directs NASA to encourage women to pursue careers in science, mathematics and engineering. “The INSPIRE Women Act will help create a climate for young girls and women to be successful in STEM and competitive on the world stage, and be great assets to growing the 21st Century economy,” Comstock said of her bill previously.

Now, these are mostly Mexicans. And those kind of things add up
What does that mean exactly? Sounds like he is proposing withholding tax refunds due to certain Mexican citizens. That seems pretty shady and probably illegal.
UTCHe96, I remember an report that illegals obtain fraudulent IDs, apply for and get EITC for children living in Mexico. IIRC one address in Atlanta had several names applying for and getting EITC in large amounts even though there were no children living there. That particular scam at least was stopped or are you saying the Feds did anything illegal? this is a link that explains the fraud illegals have been getting away with for years and no one did anything about it http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/michael-shedlock/irs-refunds-4-billion-child-tax-credits
It depends on what he means. If they're denying refunds to people who are legally entitled to them, then that's obviously against the law. If they're only stopping fraudulent claims for the EIC and/or Child Tax Credit, then that's obviously legal and a good thing.
Well reading what AG Sessions said. “I know there's $4 billion a year in excess payments, according to the Department of the Treasury's own inspector general several years ago, that are going to payments to people — tax credits that they shouldn't get. Now, these are mostly Mexicans." Tax credits they shouldn't get. I don 't think he'd say that if he meant denying people legally entitled. And the 4 billion is the amount listed in the link https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2011reports/201141061fr.pdf is from 2010. Imagine how much we have given away in the last 6 years.
I know you guys are not arguing the point, but this seems like a bizarre way to rationalize payment for the wall. We should be stopping fraud either way.
Stopping fraud is obviously the right thing to do. Using the money to build a wall is not rationalizing payment for a wall, it is sourcing a means of payment. The fact that we are being scammed, in yet another way, by Mexicans is another great reason for payment to build a wall.
