Republican officials are concerned that the Democratic-written legislation makes people who came to the United States illegally eligible for tax credits of $500 per worker and $1,000 per couple.A House-passed version of the bill and one making its way through the Senate both disqualify nonresident aliens from receiving the credits. But neither requires a worker to have a Social Security number to get the credits.

Of course you and I both know that these aren't "credits" -- you can't "credit" something to someone that was not paid in the first place.
This is pure welfare--now able to go to illegal aliens... who not only didn't pay it to begin with, but does not legally have the right to be working in the nation.
