Why was the earnedincome tax credit developed? Because of the increased number of children living in poverty. We have. as this chart shows. in the United States more children who live in poverty than any other country in the world. This amendment would say to legal immigrants that you are not eligible for the earnedincome tax credit that benefits children. If we look at the report from the CRS. it shows that over 98 percent of the earnedincome tax credit goes to families with children. That was its purpose. that is where it is focused. that was the reason for it. and this is the need.
