Speech #1130122626

An article yesterday indicated one woman in Virginia had been largely using people that were illegally in the country to file for child tax credits so they can get back $4.000. $7.000. $1.500 more than they paid in. and it was a scam. If one woman in Virginia can be accountable for $7.000 in child tax credits being paid out more than people paid in. how many people are there across the United States that are doing that same thing. while we have workers across the country. like in my district. that have said that because ObamaCare changed the definition of parttime work. it forced them into a situation of having to work two parttime jobs. not having health insurance anymore. and just struggling just to survive. just to live. yet when it comes to people that have not paid a dime into the system. all of a sudden. we are just going to bend over backwards and violate the Constitution for them. There is an article in Breitbart today from Tony Lee that said: One in three illegal immigrants over the age of 25 in America do not even have a high school education. according to a New Migration Policy Institute report. The Migration Policy Institute estimates there are 8.512 million illegal immigrant adults 25 years of age or older. The study found that while 49 percent of illegal immigrants 25 years or older have at least a high school diploma or a GED. 17 percent have some high school education. while 33 percent do not have any high school education. Of course. we have got people of all races. national origins. and both genders trying to get into this country. They have been trying for years and years to do so legally. They could fill needed specialized positions to help our economy grow. yet they cant get a visa. They are not about to get amnesty. We have got things completely backwards. We know. of course. when the President talks about amnesty and legal statusalong with other people here in Washingtonour border patrolmen make clear over and over that that increases the number of people coming across our border. Thank God Texas has stepped up. The State of Texas has been paying tremendous amounts of money to have additional people on the border.
