The U.S. Treasury sent a reported $4.2 billion to families of illegal immigrants.

The money was transferred to the families of illegal immigrants as part of a program called the Additional Child Tax Credit which winds up being an income-transfter program for low-income families. The credit offers up to $1,000 per child to all resident families, including those of illegal immigrants.

CIS.org has reported the story and explains the background on the story and how exactly the government allowed this to happen.
