ABUSING THE PROGRAM?IRS pays illegal immigrants $4.2B, stalls Tea Parties Oct 22nd 2013, 15:30 By Kenric Ward Published October 22, 2013 While harrying and stalling Tea Party groups seeking nonprofit status, the Internal Revenue Service mailed $4.2 billion in child-credit checks to undocumented immigrants.
