Matt Gaetz: “If my characterization of the child tax credit is intellectually dishonest, then I would love to hear the warrant behind…”

If my characterization of the child tax credit is intellectually dishonest, then I would love to hear the warrant behind that claim because none of my colleagues can state how a huge sum of this money is not going to end up in the hands of illegal immigrants. When it comes to evaluating that context in the era of Trump versus the era of Biden, it is somewhat embarrassing that I would have to remind a Republican colleague that it is the Biden administration that has let in 10 million additional people which vastly blows out the cost of this particular endeavor. Under Trump, we didn't have an open border, so there was less of a concern about drawing more people here illegally to this child tax credit. {time} 1730
