Pelosi, Boehner Say Econ Bill Won’t Benefit Illegal Immigrants

Congressional leaders are taking extra measures to make sure the economic stimulus bill has clear language to prevent illegal immigrants from receiving tax rebate checks.

The House-passed bill has a line that makes undocumented aliens ineligible for the tax rebates, which could be $600 for individuals and $1,200 for households under the bill the House passed Tuesday. But potentially hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants currently use individual taxpayer identification numbers (ITINs) instead of Social Security numbers to file income tax returns, and because they are taxpayers, they could receive tax rebates. House aides say use of ITINs for tax returns by illegal immigrants may constitute tax fraud, but the IRS does not check legal status on tax returns. “*
