A new bill on Capitol Hill would free up funds for the border wall by closing welfare and tax loopholes that benefit illegal aliens.<\/p>\n
The National Immigration Forum calls the Republican-sponsored WALL Act<\/a> \u201cdesperate.\u201d<\/a> Indeed, it looks like a Hail Mary, given that Democrats \u2013 united in opposition to President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed border barrier — will take control of the House next month.<\/p>\n But media characterizations of the measure as \u201chighly controversial\u201d are desperate in their own way. The only controversy \u2013 a scandal, really — is illegal aliens collecting billions of dollars in unentitled welfare benefits and tax refunds.<\/p>\n The U.S. Department of Agriculture has pushed Food Stamps<\/a> on illegal aliens for years. The Internal Revenue Service issued an estimated $296 billion tax breaks and refunds<\/a> to illegal aliens and their employers over the past decade.<\/p>\n
