No mistake at all. Fire their ass, eliminate their pension, and claw back their wages to the day of their hire.

If they can't pay it, sell them into indentured servitude.

The IRS rarely catches the error because nonimmigrant workers’ Social Security numbers have the same number of digits as those of U.S. citizens, and therefore appear to be identical, accountants say.

Seems legit.

I now have a livid hatred for our government. We are in need and no stimulus check. Our government has been infiltrated by foreign operatives.

True. When I immigrated from canada, I was given a SSN that looks like any ordinary SS number. No difference. Even family members who worked here used the ITIN’s and there is no difference in the same 9 digits.

And at the same time, millions of American citizens married to foreigners are barred from receiving a stimulus check.

Haven’t received ours either. I recently read that although our cking account number is in the system on our 2018 tax return, because we did not get a refund, the irs can not use it to deposit stimulus money. You have to add it to that irs getmypaymemt site. Ugh.

Neither have the wife and I. 80 years old, born and raised in the USA, and both have paid our taxes for over 65 years. But dead people, illegals, and foreigners got theirs. Crappy IRS!!!!

You want the money back? “Send it back - now - or be permanently barred from ever entering this country ever again. Period.”

So that’s what happened to my check the IRS claimed was deposited in my bank on the 30th but was not.
