WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) has expressed his strong opposition towards H.R. 7024, also known as the "Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024." The bill was passed by a vote of 357-70, but Clyde voted against it, citing concerns about its potential negative impact on the nation.
Clyde criticized the tax bill, referring to it as a "Trojan Horse for bad policies disguised as tax relief." He highlighted one specific issue with the legislation, stating, "The legislation completely fails to close a loophole that allows illegal aliens to claim the Child Tax Credit while subsequently expanding these welfare payments." According to Clyde, it is irresponsible to incentivize illegal immigration and expand the flawed welfare state, especially given the current border and economic crises under President Biden's administration.
In addition to his statement, Clyde also voiced his opposition to the bill on the House floor. During his speech, he emphasized that the tax bill would only exacerbate the chaos and fuel the ongoing border crisis. He encouraged fellow Members of Congress to vote against it, asserting that "Americans simply deserve better."
The congressman's stance against the tax bill reflects his commitment to protecting the interests of hardworking Northeast Georgians. Clyde believes that imposing additional inflationary burdens on struggling individuals and families under the failed economic policies of the Biden administration is unacceptable.
As the tax bill moves forward, Clyde's dissenting voice serves as a reminder that not all lawmakers are in favor of its provisions. The bill's passage highlights the divide among legislators on the issue of tax relief and its potential consequences.
In a time of economic uncertainty and border challenges, Congressman Andrew Clyde has made his position clear by voting against the tax bill. His concerns about the impact on illegal immigration and the welfare system demonstrate his commitment to serving the best interests of the American people.
