Rep. Gaetz: 'I would give Speaker McCarthy an A for his work so far'

Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who opposed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during the speaker election until voting present in the 15th round, told Just the News that he gives McCarthy "an A for his work so far" in the new session of Congress. Gaetz, who is pushing for budget cuts in exchange for a vote to increase the nation's $31.4 trillion debt limit, suggested banning illegal immigrants from collecting the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. Currently, illegal immigrants with tax ID numbers can file tax returns to claim the CTC. Illegal immigrants using Social Security numbers to file tax returns can claim the EITC.
