As the underlying bill includes a provision directing the IRS to conduct outreach to inform individuals that they may be eligible for the earned income tax credit. the motion would add language directing the IRS to improve its efforts to identify individuals who may be ineligible for the EITC on account of their citizenship status. Madam Speaker. I encourage all of my colleagues to vote for this motion to recommit. While I am greatly concerned about the message sent by the underlying bill that somehow we are going to take away an effective tool to ensure we all pay our fair share of taxes. this motion helps correct that wrongheaded tilt by trying to prevent tax benefits from going to illegal aliens and cities and States who shelter them from our immigration laws. I urge passage of the motion. Madam Speaker.
