The less fortunate??? WTF is he taking about? These people are in this country ILLEGALLY and breaking US law.
I am telling you people, the way to attack this problem is through the IRS by making everybody realize that this is about TAX EVASION, both by these illegal workers and especially by the employers that hire them. If you or me were working under the table and not paying taxes, our asses would be in jail, yet these dam wetbacks and the people that hire them get off scott free.
***....Nearly a decade ago, the IRS began giving out Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers so people without Social Security numbers could pay taxes. Since then, more than 8 million applicants have received numbers, and about 2 million are used on tax returns.
The IRS knows illegal immigrants are using the numbers to get mortgages.
"We don't have control over whatever the taxpayers do with the numbers other than filing a tax return," spokeswoman Irma Trevino said.
In addition to the ID numbers, immigrants must show that they have been in the country, worked and paid taxes for at least two years in order to get mortgages. Because many do not have credit scores, they must prove their good credit through documents such as utility and cell phone bills, rent receipts, bank statements and paychecks. The interest rates and loan costs are in line with those of buyers who have Social Security numbers.***

Yep, you'd think the IRS would be very interested in millions of tax evading employees working for millions of tax evading employers.......however, I don't ever recall the IRS *also* stepping in (filing charges) in an immigration matter.
(on the other hand, if you are Joe CITIZEN, the IRS will pursue you FOREVER)
