Will Bruce Braley Stop Forcing Iowa Families to Pay for Illegal Immigrants?

Good Afternoon,

Today we’ll find out who Bruce Braley stands with: Hard-working Iowa families or illegal immigrants? Braley has the opportunity to prevent – once and for all – the ability for illegal immigrants to benefit from the child tax credit. A report issued in July of this year by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration found that tax credit loopholes for illegal immigrants cost taxpayers an alarming $4.2 billion. (“Undocumented workers got billions from IRS in tax credits, audit finds,” Washington Post, 9/2/2011)

Sounds like a no-brainer, right? This commonsense reform is way overdue, and Braley can either support taxpayers by voting to stop this costly magnet for illegal immigration – or he can support his Democrat leaders who want to derail any bipartisan efforts.

NRCC COMMENT: “American families are struggling to get by in the Obama economy while illegal immigrants are collecting billions of our tax dollars. Bruce Braley should do the right thing by closing this outrageous loophole and support a bipartisan bill that creates jobs and prevents a tax increase on Iowa families.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
