The second half of your statement is also false. Illegal aliens can claim tax credits and often do. They wind up getting money back that they never paid in.

As I said before, right now 47% of the country pay NO federal income tax.

I spent 30 years as a Special Agent for Immigration so tell me what Illegal Aliens do. But let me tell you. They all claim 10+ dependents for withholding and they file no taxes and get no credits for the most part. yes an exception now and then which certain segments of the media blow out of proportion.

You know what happens in Govt when they privatize? Some company comes in and claims huge savings for the govt based on phony stats which assume the person will work 30 years and then retire. So the Govt fires all the Govt employees who earn decent wages and benefits and the private outfit pays little, has no benefits, charges the Govt way more than what they were paying the employees over the short term meaning 20 years and the fat cat who owns the private outfit and/or investors pocket the money. Think that's not redistribution of wealth? No, it's good business.
