However this has been going on well before Obama was in office.

This year tax preparation offices across the country were flooded by an estimated 2 million illegal immigrants, who in growing numbers have been taking advantage of a tax loophole called the Additional Child Tax Credit--a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child--meant to ease the income tax burden on working families who have children living at home.

However, Segall's investigation and reporting found many illegal immigrants who were claiming these tax credits, but for kids who live in Mexico–even listing nieces and nephews.

"We've seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms," the whistleblower told Eyewitness News. "The more you put on there, the more you get back."

you're hating on illegals that are filing taxes for profit only?

ftfy

The system they are abusing needs fixing.

The question you should be asking yourself is, "How can I implement this tactic myself?" As soon as you figure out how to claim a child without a valid social security number please update the rest of us so we can all profit.

At this point we might as well. With all the freebies from Government I can see it being hard for people to stay honest.

Sure. Let's close this loophole. Actually, let's close all the loopholes. Our tax code is over 3 million words. You need a tax attorney to make sense of it.

It would appear someone is trying to do something about this particular loophole: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr1956

But, your misleading title notwithstanding, Obama had nothing to do with the creation of this loophole, and it is not in his purview to change it. That's the Legislative Branch's job.

Or you could just read my post...

or you could just change the title.

Why, it's the title of the article. You and I know Obama wouldn't change it even if he could...it's fitting and semantics to even bring it up.
