There was nothing to imply that these children or their parents are illegal. What if they have their Green-card has a job and are paying taxes, why should they be denied a legal tax deduction? I'll bet you'd be perfectly happy allowing a foreign owned business operating here in America the same tax write-offs that any American[owned company would get, and before you respond remember that a lot of large and successful tax-paying 'American' companies are now owned by non-Americans.
Also there are a lot of disabled people who have jobs. What about the veterans, many of whom have partial disabilities protecting your ass back here at home while they were being shot-up in some foreign war but are receiving monthly disability payments from the VA. If they got laid-off you'd deny them their unemployment benefits?
