        illegal immigrants can't apply for welfare and they boost business as their are a cheap working force

        they get less than legal immigrants /citizens do, thus they provide less strain on the economy

        they can't cost more than regular citizens as they are eligible for less, we are talking about saving money here

        The cost of the wall is also ~50 times the savings from closing the NEA and NEH. BTW, report said "potential" improper payments.

        Read past headline: 'IRS estimates that 23.8% ($15.6 billion) of EITC payments were issued improperly in Fiscal Year 2015.'

        Actually read the whole report. You will find "potential" almost everywhere except the sentence you quote.

        Potential is a word used to CYA. There is no doubt in sane people's mind the credit is majorly abused

        Could be. But read the report before you make up your mind.

        I read it before I responded. I know how these things go. People are afraid to definitively say people cheat

        But yes, people cheat. However, there are also lots of people who miss benefits / pay too much.
