"Imagine my surprise when I found a pile of IRS 1040 tax returns among the tons of trash at a lay-up site used by illegal border jumpers near the Mexican border west of Douglas, Arizona. There are dozens of such places where the thousands of border invaders change clothes, discard trash and wait to be taken by their coyote to their pick-up location for moving on to Phoenix or El Paso or Houston.
The IRS 1040 forms were filled out and had been used. Hey, who says illegal aliens dont pay taxes?
I collected the 1040 forms and we noticed all had claimed Earned Income Tax Credits and all also had claimed around nine deductions for children. The average refund was around $4,000. It occurred to me only much later that the American taxpayer may be funding the coyotes $1,500 fees for smuggling poor Mexicans, Salvadorans and Iraqis and Vietnamese across our southwest border.
When I sent the 1040 forms to the Social Security Administration and the IRS, I was told that the practice described in the FORBES article was the one being followed in dealing with these returns. I tried to amend the appropriations bills for the IRS to be the practice, but I got nowhere. My Republican colleagues didnt want to hear about it and were ticked at me for bringing it up.
Illegal aliens use the system to report income and also gain every possible refund the tax law and IRS collusion allows. Who can blame them when the welcome sign is in bright green neon letters?"

Most illegals probably work under the table.
EITC is both a tax and an investment. The Left gets it both ways.
Isn’t it nice of our government to help these fraudulently documented foreigners to rip us off?
Of course, they are always going to "help" them with OUR money!
Seems like if someone else was paying in to your Social Security fund, your monthly benefits at retirement would be a few dollars higher.
I wonder why it never seems to work out that way.
Does this mean that the person using a stolen SS# is also able to collect retirement benefits? So, IOW, one SS# results in more than one retirement account?
Or are the SSA employees somehow siphoning off the excess money paid in, and pocketing it? All it would take is computer know-how.
Answer - NO, "Why I ask?" "Because its not your money."
"It has gone into my SS account, that makes it mine."
"That money was erroneusly paid into your account by another person and that person's employer, so it belongs to the other person's SS savings." I continue, "But that person is illegally using my number, doesn't that matter?"
On and on it went but the end result is SS gets quite a bit of unaccounted for money that is needed for the shortfall each year. Social Security loves it when that happens because in cases like mine, they know someone else has illegally used my number and SS knows they will never have to pay it out!
