U.S. taxpayers may save an estimated $3 billion thanks to the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

New rules implemented on Wednesday by the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS state that only U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and \u201cqualified aliens\u201d will be eligible for four major refundable tax credit programs, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

In other words, illegal aliens will no longer be able to receive kickbacks through tax relief programs that were reportedly being exploited.<\/p>\n

Under @POTUS<\/a>, the days of illegal aliens collecting taxpayer-funded benefits are over. The federal law is clear, and @USTreasury<\/a> is enforcing it. American taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for benefits going to those who are barred by law from receiving them. These\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder President Trump, the days of illegal aliens collecting taxpayer-funded benefits are over. The federal law is clear, and Treasury is enforcing it,\u201d Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for benefits going to those who are barred by law from receiving them. These proposed regulations end the abuse, protect the integrity of the tax system, and put Americans first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many argued that while it may be a good start, they want to see more done:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s been a huge scam for YEARS. They have work auth while their asylum claim is adjudicated or whatever, so they are \u201clegally\u201d working, or using stolen SSN. Claim a ton of dependents so no witholding, and then get whatever refundable credits they can claim.<\/p>\n

Many Americans had no idea this was even a thing. And what\u2019s even worse they could claim their dependents back in their native countries for even a larger tax credit aka REFUND.<\/p>\n

\n

Where\u2019s the effort to debank them. If they can\u2019t access MSB, money transfer or other avenues to send money back to where they belong they\u2019d leave on their own. They shouldn\u2019t have mortgages either that should be reserved for Americans.<\/p>\n

How about putting some of these assholes in prison who are breaking these laws? Otherwise, what\u2019s the point of having them?\"\ud83e\udd14\"<\/p>\n
