Mr. President. here we go again. We have before us another amendment that says legal workers under this bill must play by our rulesby our lawsbut they will not be allowed to live by those same rules. I know that my colleagues know that illegal immigrants are ineligible for the earnedincome tax credit. The legislation before us does not change that fact. But this amendment Incrediblyincrediblywould deny the earnedincome tax credit to taxpayers who will be working in this country legally as a result of this legislation. Remarkable. I want to point out again. it would deny an important tax credit to some lowincome workers who have legal status who are playing by the rules. meeting all the requirements of the legislation. who might otherwise be eligible for the earnedincome tax credit.
