Democrats Side with Illegals over America’s Veterans
Democrats Side with Illegals over America’s Veterans
JANUARY 10, 2014 BY TPNN
Senate Democrats have sided with illegal immigrants over veterans of America’s military. As reported by Matthew Boyle of Breitbart, Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) proposed a bill which would not just have paid for unemployment benefits for American citizens. It would have also closed a tax loophole that allows illegals to access the Refundable Child Tax Credit and instead replaced recent cuts to veterans pensions. Yes, when given an absolute choice, the Democrats sided with illegals over veterans.
The vote failed on Thursday 54-42, with all Republicans but Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) voting for the amendment and against Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV). Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) crossed the aisle to vote alongside Republicans in favor of the amendment.
The amendment would have been to the Unemployment Insurance Extension Bill, S. 1845. On the Senate floor while debating the amendment, Ayotte argued her amendment is “one that would fix fraud in our tax code that really came to light in 2011 in a Treasury IG [Inspector General] report.”
“What it would simply require is those who seek the additional child tax credit to file a Social Security number just like those who seek the Earned Income Tax Credit in this country,” Ayotte said.
