Is it too much to expect our government to use a bit of oversight when they distribute our tax dollars? There is no excuse for this sort of dereliction of duty especially when the fraud is so easily identified and prevented.
It shouldn’t be.
The US Treasury report noted that paying these credits to illegals is explicitly prohibited by U.S. law, which holds that those unauthorized to work here cannot receive federal benefits.
The IRS claims it's not its job to check the immigration status of those requesting U.S. money (easily done if a filer has a valid Social Security number instead of a "taxpayer ID"). The tax agency apparently thinks laws only apply to people it audits — not politically sensitive illegal aliens. So now we have the sorry spectacle of $4.2 billion in money from law-abiding taxpayers flowing to law-breaking foreigners who belong in other countries. No wonder the U.S. has some 12 million illegal immigrants, rolling in by the thousands daily in part from the well-established human smuggling rackets controlled by Mexico's drug and crime cartels.

NOTE WELL: Earned Income Tax Credit is available to immigrant workers who obtain legal work status. But the law allows immigrants to claim EITC for up to three years prior to obtaining that status. Conniving illegals simply file a tax return for the years in which they were not legally eligible to work in the US.
The most widespread EITC abuse stems from the requirement that children live with the worker for more than six months of the year. IRS does little to verify the claim.
Many immigrants falsify govt forms (a felony), claiming non-existent children, or claim children who they’ve left behind with relatives. Those with two or more children and income below $32,121 could get as much as $4,008. It is estimated that illegals got $22 billion EITC refunds.....it probably is much, much more.

ONE ILLEGAL WITH MULTIPLE IDENTITIES RIDES THE US GRAVY TRAIN An illegal alien w/ wife and five children violates our borders. He gets a job mowing lawns for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that low wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, so each year, he files an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free.
The one identity qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks, faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI if they fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.
Plus illegals don't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

IRS “Rule 2. You Must Have a Valid Social Security Number (SSN)
To claim the EIC, you (and your spouse if filing a joint return) must have a valid SSN issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Any qualifying child listed on Schedule EIC also must have a valid SSN. (See Rule 8 if you have a qualifying child.)If your social security card (or your spouse’s if filing a joint return) says “Not valid for employment” and your SSN was issued so that you (or your spouse) could get a federally funded benefit, you cannot get the EIC. An example of a federally funded benefit is Medicaid.If you have a card with the legend “Not valid for employment” and your immigration status has changed so that you are now a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, ask the SSA for a new social security card without the legend.”I copied this from IRS Publication 17. It states that you must have a valid SSN to get the Earned Income Tax Credit.

THE LUCRATIVE PHONY ID BUSINESS---DOCUMENTS FOR A PRICE
NORTH BERGEN, NJ -- July 21, 2006 -- Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, L/E said.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses for any state in the US, passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution from savage drug cartels operating in the US.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout.
L/E approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately. The Texas brothers consented to a search.
Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.
All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street. Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 fake Social Security cards. ####

CONSIDER THIS Organized latinos are putting out vast amts of agit-prop.......wanting politicians to think they are numerous....and have large numbers of votes to pressure pols into facilitating their political agenda.
Fact is most of these people have numerous identities. They get SS nos for anchor babies and use the nos themselves to suckup numerous US govt freebies using multiple identities.
Illegals are more likely to be collecting government checks than picking crops, despite the incessant latino propaganda.
Illegal Jose Madrigal, the Washington state rapist, had some 30 identities.
Another illegal (one of many) collected $3 million in UI checks under multiple identities.
Illegals are well-briefed on US law WRT getting on the gravy train----most of the US tax dollars they score are sent back home to Third World hellholes where they intend to retire.......as the US govt checks keep rolling in.
"Impoverished illegals" buy identities like they were doritos .....the "poor" aliens lay out several thousands of dollars for each identity.
