The Smith-Wyden bipartisan tax package passed by a whopping final vote of 357-70. It expanded the child tax credit given to illegal aliens, revived business tax benefits like R&D, and passed the House under suspension. It’s now onto the Senate.
GOP Sen. Grassley told Joseph Zeballos-Roig that he’s concerned passing the Wyden-Smith tax bill might aid Biden’s re-election: “I think passing a tax bill that makes the president look good mailing out checks before the election means he could be reelected and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax cuts.”
It’s another lifeline for Joe Biden.
HERITAGE’S TAKE
Richard A. Stern, Director of the Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget at Heritage, posted on X.
“Welfare expansion (including for illegals), more handouts, and INFLATIONARY deficits! Tax Bill is “Light on Tax Relief and Heavy on Welfare Expansion,” Stern said.
“The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act is first and foremost a repudiation of the principles of successful, pro-family welfare reform.”
- “The bill would generate $155 billion in new federal deficits through fiscal year 2025, adding upward pressure on inflation and interest.”
- “Subsidizing Illegal Aliens. Under current law, illegal aliens who have children that were born in the U.S. (and many do) can claim welfare benefits from the ACTC. The Ways and Means bill expands these welfare payments for millions of people who are in the U.S. illegally, and for millions more entering in the future—exacerbating a current design flaw in the program.”
- “In the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act (TRAFWA), 91.5 percent of the “family benefits” are cash welfare, not tax relief for working families.”
- “Because of the retroactive and temporary nature of most of the expensing provisions, the proposed TRAFWA would lead to little or no economic growth.”
A SUMMARY
The following is a good summary and mentions the welfare for illegal aliens. The child tax credits go mostly to illegal aliens. There’s a lot of fraud. They even send checks to children who have never set foot in the country.
Last night, House Leadership greenlighted the Wyden-Smith tax bill for a vote next week.@AmericanFreedom is calling balls and strikes on the package.

We reported it earlier here. They can’t stop spending.
The illegal immigrants are the products of US destruction of their countries in the service of globalist and Zionist agendas. The Americans are rich because of wealth plundered from other countries and through wars and genocide. The world has little sympathy with the Americans.
Ted you be just anada grifter, huh
Actually, he has a valid point. Our recent history from 1992 until today supports his opinion.
My global travels support his lack of world sympathy for us.
What we did 70 years ago is a lot different than what we have done in the last 30.
Da’gubmint is out to kill us and replace us with illegals. Dimmercraps are EVIL, RINOs near as bad..
Ron Wyden is a Democrat from Oregon and Jason Smith is a Republican from Missouri. This just shows what a uniparty we’re living under. Corrupt RINOs and Marxist Democrats make up the majority in Congress, and I wouldn’t donate a penny to these incestuous rats.
And how are the American taxpayers relieved of their ever increasing tax burden. Term limits now. All spending and tax bills must be approved by the public.
Well most of them won’t get child tax credits because the majority entering are single military age males.
Hopefully their rape victims will get something.
I can’t tell you how sick and disgusted I am to hear of this. I just have no words. So frustrated. God help us all.
We need a decision from the Supreme Court on the 14th Amendment – which was passed to give those persons brought in chains to our shores as slaves, to be free citizens.
For foreign born women to wait & come across our border hours before they give birth to an ‘instant citizen’ is wrong. Illegal aliens ‘willingly’ came across our borders, whereas slaves were not given a choice to be here.
Therefore, two illegal alien parents – do not a legal citizen baby make and the courts need to decide this as a legal fact.
The cowards will never take this issue up. It’s pretty clear what that amendment addresses.
Not only will our resources be depleted with the influx of illegals pouring in, but our healthcare system will be in shambles. The wait time for a doctor’s appointment is already extreme. We’ll be a third world nation.
Where are the environmentalists? Deathly silence as resources are threatened.
Johnson is another phony. He snuck this in under the radar. This site made us aware of it. The rules were suspended to conceal this.
This bill, if it became well known, would ruin the GOP chance to keep the house. There is already no hope of the GOP getting the senate. At this point, I assume this in the intention, for the GOP to be a minority party and lose.
Losing seems to be what the GOP does best, unfortunately.
Since in this age of cell phones and internet we live in – and since most “poor” people have cell phones- news travels instantly to the entire world.
It means that everyone from El Salvador to Zimbabwe now knows that instead of being punished for entering illegally, they will be rewarded even MORE than they were already.
That bill is an invitation seen all around the globe that clearly says; come and we will PAY you just for being here !
MORE will come, and they will eventually crash the US economy and then social cohesion will also fall apart ( they beat up cops and are rewarded with being released 3 hours later )
More will come, and the US will sink ( and so will every nation doing similar things )
It is suicide.
This is why I gave up donating to the RNC a long time ago. This is a perfect example of their being no opposition to the marxists(dnc/rinos) in congress. Spkr Johnson was supposed to stand up for “We the People”, so far haven’t seen much of anything outta him or the house leadership which benefits the folks who pay taxes. Just more support for the plantation folks and those who want to be on welfare.
Yep. Just a little bit upset by all the nonsense in DC. Couldn’t tell could ya?
I have never donated to the RINOs. LOL
Is this considered taxation without representation yet?
Oh you’re being represented, just not the way you should be.
Folks we have no part of the government on the legal citizens side. They never miss a chance to give us the middle finger, and there is not a damn thing we can do about it. They get rich, we lose everything.
So great that the Republicans have the power of the purse and can finally do something to prevent the waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer’s dollars, eh?
I have often said that the RINOs are all in on the communism of the USSA. They are bought and paid for by the global elites as well. Demokrauts just edge them out as they suffer from mental illness
I just love that story, maybe it will be made into a mini series.
All they do upon the hill is think of ways to spend our money or how they can give it away .
“Other people’s money.”
The USSA has not money left. The money ran out during Vietnam. The USSA borrows every penny it currently spends. The economic collapse was planned and is underway.
Time for Americans to stop paying income tax. Screw illegals getting welfare.
You will pay or else. The BLM and FBI will club you into submission then ship you off to a reeducation camp: swine.
Your government hates you, America.
Just listen to it, and the feckless people you keep voting for.
Ammo up.
I voted for Trump in 2020 and both republican senators in Ga in 2022. Both elections were rigged. I plan on voting one more time and that is it. Finished as it doesn’t see to make a difference. I will vote for Trump to give the USSA government the middle finger as vulgar as that is.
America has fallen.
Any news I hear about America anymore is usually bad news.
That is because the idiots in charge what you to be downtrodden.
True “equality” will be accomplished when everyone is equally poor. Of course political families, Hollywood types, leftist creeps, etc will be exempted.
