Summary: Lou Dobbs falsely claimed that the economic recovery bill, which the House recently passed, “would allow people who don’t have Social Security numbers to be eligible” for the bill’s Making Work Pay tax credits and would therefore make undocumented immigrants “eligible for checks.” In fact, illegal immigrants without Social Security numbers are not eligible for tax credits under the stimulus bill.

Answer: From Rush Limbaugh and his Band of Ignorant men.
