Tax Credit Bill Contains Loophole for Illegal Immigrants

Gov. Martin O'Malley's proposal to give a tax credit to businesses for hiring unemployed Maryland residents could benefit illegal immigrants, according to several anti-illegal-immigration groups.

"I'm concerned we're going to be creating 6,700 jobs and they are going to go to people who have absolutely no right to those jobs," said Sue Payne, president of Citizens Above Party, which opposes illegal immigration.
