Once you factor in the cost of refundable credits provided to these workers. such as the child tax credit and the EITC. the net increase In revenues is still a significant $33 billion over the next 10 years. It would be unreasonable for us to force these new workers. who are legal and many of whom will be in the process of becoming American citizens. to pay all these taxes and not be allowed to claim the earnedincome tax credit. As has been acknowledged. undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for the EITC. If you are here illegally. you cant qualify for the EITC. We should not deny this tax credit to lowincome taxpayers who are working in this country legally.
