People working paying that kind of money so people who don’t (and aren’t even legal citizens) get it for nothing? Revolutions have been fought for less.
They are called Earned Income Tax Credits... you get X per child X, X for a foster child, etc. If you file a tax return, you do get them if you qualify. However, these credits can be taken as cash refunds even in you didn't have a tax liability. Hence, people who didn't work enough to be required to file a tax return (about $12k single or $24k married) may not bother to file and miss out on the refund from the tax credit.
While some people can make big bucks on this tax credit (between state of CA EITC and federal EITC, the max refund in CA is $6k), most people only get a few bucks. In CA, the average person gets $150 back, which is what it costs to file a return with a tax preparer service like Jackson Hewitt. Unless NY has generous EITC credits (unlikely more generous than CA), most of the people in that line who do file will pay more to have the return filed than they will get back. It's a complicated math formula so they have to pay up front to find out what they get.
People usually notice when someone else gets their tax refunds.
They also usually make a point of calling it to the attention of the authorities, who hunt down the people that stole someone's tax refund.
Then they usually prosecute that person, and deport them if they're here illegally.
So it's not a very smart thing for them to do. I know the knee jerk response to this would be some version of "They're not smart." But they are smart enough to find out what to avoid doing that would put them most at risk of getting deported, and this is one of them.
That being said, illegals often do steal SSNs in order to get a job. And because these jobs are usually temporary and low paying, they aren't adding much to anyone's yearly income.
People don't often know if someone is using their SSN for this, unless they get audited by the IRS for some reason.
No, I don't see where they're issuing SSNs to illegals.
There's all sorts of complicated legality issues with the situations that video you linked talks about.
When people come to the border and ask for asylum, and are granted a SSN for work purposes while their asylum case is being prepared, those aren't illegal immigrants. Asylum cases can take years to decide. They're not here illegally while their cases are still being decided. It's only if they stay here (or return) after they've been denied asylum that they become illegal.
And yes, there was a huge influx of asylum seekers when Biden was in office. Obviously they knew they had a much better chance of gaining asylum when he was in office.
I think that people really don't understand much about how our country handles asylum cases.
A person can walk up to any port of entry to the US and ask for asylum. They can be in the country illegally for up to a year, and ask for asylum.
A person can ask for asylum for a multitude of reasons, including fear of violence, fear of death or harm, and social or economic conditions (extreme poverty).
It's well known that the Mexican drug cartels have made many parts of their country extremely dangerous to live in. Many people come here asking for asylum because of that. There's also extreme poverty there, so that's another reason they come asking for asylum.
I know people are going to want to argue with me over this. But I'm simply pointing out relevant facts of the topic. It doesn't matter if I agree with these things or not. It doesn't matter if anyone agrees with it or not. It's just how it is. Here are some links about asylum in the US, because I'm not in the least bit interested in arguing about it. If you want to argue with someone about it, find a politician who can do something to change it:
Getting back to my point, people need to get out of the mindset that every foreign person here, especially Hispanics, is here illegally.
Work visas, travel visas, student visas, green card holders, temporary protected status holders, and asylum seekers are NOT illegals. You can't look at a person and automatically know if they're here illegally or not.
And that's exactly what you're doing here. Looking at people, and deciding if they're here illegally or not based on nothing more than what they look like and what language they're speaking.
I agree you cannot tell just because person is Hispanic whether he/she illegal. We have enough people the last how many years just walking across and not leaving. It is just recently they are being sent back. Some of the states not only give them ss numbers but also dl so they can vote. Just because they got that and working make them legal. That's why some of the states (southern states) now make them go into weight stations and read and write. If they cannot read or write, they are in cuffs.
That's how some of the states are doing that to determine.
Fine if you think Hewitt teaching them to file for refund. I don't mind if they are legal and file for refund. Just not sure about them being legal or illegal but the writer said she caught them teaching illegals.
Just not sure about them being legal or illegal but the writer said she caught them teaching illegals.
And you just took her word that they were illegals? Did you look to see if she provided any evidence they were here illegally? Because I looked for any evidence she had that they were here illegally, and I didn't see any.
Do you normally take everything a reporter says to be fact?
The Earned Income Tax Credits tax that Jackson Hewitt was pushing can only be claimed by legal migrants at the federal level.
Some states, including California, also have EITCs that can be claimed above and beyond the federal EITCs. In CA, the illegals qualify for the state level EITCs the same as legals and regular citizens.
I do not know if NY has EITCs or if the illegals are allowed to claim them, but its implied in the video.
Edit to add: The state of CA will give a state issued ITIN # to any illegal who wants one, so as far as CA is concerned, they are legal, even if not recognized by the feds. I am guessing NY is the same.

The State of California has been paying NGOs $20 million per year since at least 2018 to do exactly what Jackson Hewitt was doing in this video: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=3185
Jackson Hewitt probably charges $150 per tax return. While it is possible to get big bucks from the earned income tax credits (in CA you can get up to $6k back), most don't even recoup as much as it cost to file the tax return in the first place. This is a ploy by Jackson Hewitt to solicit business for themselves by promising big $ in exchange for filing the return when they know most won't get big $.

Exactly.
The people in the video aren't saying it's for illegal migrants. People need to remember that all Hispanic people aren't necessarily here illegally.
And even if they aren't working at the moment doesn't mean they didn't work at all last year.
How exactly do you think they're going to get a tax refund without a SSN or ITIN?
Stolen ITIN or SSN. There's a lot of way.
People usually notice when someone else gets their tax refunds.
They also usually make a point of calling it to the attention of the authorities, who hunt down the people that stole someone's tax refund.
Then they usually prosecute that person, and deport them if they're here illegally.

It might be dead people's ss. Did you see the Dems are issuing SS to illegals?

Unfreakingbelievable!
Habitual liar of a company. Don't go there.

Wow imagine if that $ was spent on us citizens! Or never spent at all and inflating our currency away
Not a chance. Only the illegals.

Do tell. I could use an extra 14k. sar
I'll likely be sending that much in on my fair share of income tax.
i pay all year and then they want more at the end...lol refund??? i would be happy breaking even..but today is not that day
I know right.

No I don't but this hotel has been housing illegals and I have previously posted about the illegals there b4 also.
