Mr. Speaker. today I am introducing legislation which I hope will be part of a larger effort to end the outlay of our scarce resources on illegal aliens. This bill. the Illegal Alien Credit Denial Act. amends the Internal Revenue Act of 1986 to deny the earned income tax credit [EITC] to illegal aliens and to prevent fraudulent claims. Under current law. there Is no requirement that EITC claimants must be legal residents of this country. IRS forms do not require illegal aliens to identify themselves as such. therefore. so long as the eligibility requirements are met. illegal aliens can claim the EITC. My constituents in southwestern Louisiana are outraged that their tax dollars are going to people who are illegally residing in the United States.
