Obama/Pelosi Stimulus Bill Gives Your Money to Illegals

As if anyone needs another reason to rally against the Obama/Pelosi "stimulus" package, it seems that a loophole will allow illegal immigrants to get some of the "tax" credits.

According to the AP:

The legislation, which would send tax credits of $500 per worker and $1,000 per couple, expressly disqualifies nonresident aliens, but it would allow people who don't have Social Security numbers to be eligible for the checks.

It seems that this provision would entitle green-card holders working in the U.S. to be eligible for a tax hand-out, but AP correctly continues (link added):

Undocumented immigrants who are not eligible for a Social Security number can file tax returns with an alternative number. A House-passed version of the economic recovery bill and one making its way through the Senate would allow anyone with such a number, called an individual taxpayer identification number, to qualify for the tax credits.

It is not bad enough that the bill would give income tax rebate checks to people who don't pay income tax, but now we find that people who are not legally in this country can get a hand-out, too.
