Does tuck still wear bowties? I never trusted people that wear bowties. Roxy's vet is the only exception, he can't wear a tie for safety reasons. The depressing thing is he looks just like Bill Nye the HS teacher guy.https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/md ... story.html
Maryland grants stimulus aid to undocumented immigrants, other noncitizens
Maryland lawmakers on Friday approved giving lump-sum payments to low-income noncitizens, including undocumented immigrants, becoming one of the few states in the nation to extend stimulus benefits to people without Social Security numbers.
The legislation — which Gov. Larry Hogan (R) will let become law, his spokesman said — qualifies all taxpaying residents, regardless of immigration status, to receive the state’s earned income tax credit for the next three years.
Advocates who pushed for the bill say it will give a crucial cash boost to taxpaying immigrants who are often essential workers and have largely been shut out of unemployment, federal stimulus and other government-run safety-net programs, including during the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is saying to hard-working immigrants who pay taxes, who contribute to the fabric of our community — and certainly to the fabric of our economy — that they matter,” said Cathryn Paul, research and policy analyst with the immigrant advocacy group CASA.
Hogan previously balked at extending benefits to noncitizens as part of the state’s recently passed $1.1 billion coronavirus stimulus package, warning lawmakers that including it in that legislation would jeopardize the entire bill.
But his spokesman, Michael Ricci, said Friday that Hogan will not veto the stand-alone measure that will accomplish the same goal. It passed both chambers with veto-proof majorities on a largely party-line vote. The governor will allow the bill to become law without his signature,
In the recently passed stimulus bill, Maryland expanded its earned income tax credit to become the most generous in the country. The measure, which is modeled after the federal credit by the same name, gives cash payments to the working poor on a sliding scale. Larger benefits go to families with multiple children and lower incomes.
To qualify, families must earn less than $56,800 a year, and individuals must earn no more than $15,820. The maximum benefit amounts to several thousand dollars each year.
It is widely viewed as one of government’s most effective anti-poverty tools and is popular among both Democrats and Republicans. On average, beneficiaries in Maryland increase their earnings enough after three years that they no longer qualify for the credit, according to a legislative review of its impact.
Maryland’s median income is among the highest in the country, but the state also has a large low-income population. In 2019, nearly 1 in 7 Maryland tax-filers — 440,000 households — qualified for the credit.
The expansion given final approval Friday by the House of Delegates would make an estimated 60,000 more people eligible, entitling them to roughly $65 million worth of credits. It allows those who file taxes with an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, to qualify.
People who owe taxes but do not have a Social Security number, including people on work visas and student visas and undocumented immigrants, use taxpayer identification numbers.
Federal rules bar them from many federal benefits, including the earned income credit. Mixed-status families who have an ITIN-filer on their tax returns are also barred from the tax credit, effectively blocking citizens from receiving the benefit.
California and Colorado have allowed ITIN filers access to earned income benefits since before the coronavirus pandemic.

litical Correctness had now entered the realm of illegal immigration. Dementia Joe woke up from his afternoon nappy poo. A vision in his nappy poo dream told him we can no longer call illegal immigrants what they really are... Illegal immigrants. There is a Bravo Sierra FLP term that is politically correct. I will never use it... they are who they are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? The loyal Illegal immigrants they are. Their blessed first step in breaking into this country is to break the laws of their new adopted country. If they don't give a f**k about immigration law then what other laws of their beloved new country don't mean jack chit to them. Maybe US law is like an ala carte menu. You get to pick and choose what laws you will and will not obey...GOT IT..
It is a rule of law thing. If the very first act of all of these new wanna be patriots is to spit in the face of the laws of our land... Not a good way to make a first impression. The end justifies the means. That is the f***ked up thinking that gives us sanctuary cities. The counter argument is if local authorities, say in NYS won't enforce King Andy's SAFE ACT.. then they are criticized for not enforcing the law. Yet again, when enforcing the law becomes an ala carte choice... what do we expect will happen?Peter Brown wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:59 amcradleandshoot wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:51 am Po

When I travel to foreign countries, I’m petrified about arriving without my passport; I perform 100 checks before departure to be sure I don’t forget that necessary item. I have images of being locked up in a Soviet Gulag for the crime of trying to illegally enter a country.
Imagine the mind of your standard-issue modern Democrat; they are begging foreigners to flood our borders, no care in the universe about entering legally or ever leaving!
Gee, I have no idea why’d they want that sort of chaos....
