WASHINGTON - Two federal agencies are refusing to turn over a mountain of evidence that investigators could use to indict the nation's burgeoning workforce of illegal immigrants and the firms that employ them.
Last week, immigration cops trumpeted the arrests of nearly 1,200 illegal workers in a massive sting on a single company, but they admit that they relied on old-fashioned confidential informants and an unsolicited tip to get their investigation going.
It didn't have to be that hard.
The IRS and the Social Security Administration routinely collect strong evidence of potential workplace crimes, including names and addresses of millions of people who are using bogus Social Security numbers, their wage records and the identities of the bosses who knowingly hire them.
But they keep those facts secret.

Ping!
The next business to take down is the private garbage haulers.
You know it's amazing when you think about it. The various govt agencies are more than happy to supply a legal taxpaying citizen's info to one another in order to go after them for tax crimes, childsupport etc... BUT dare not go after an illegal scam artist and his/her scam artist employer through the same method!
They are everywhere!
What you said!
BTTT!
What is ironic is that a lot of kids will grow up, allready qualified for full Social Security benefits (40 quarters), that some illegal worked for....strange cosmos.
Great tagline!
No Allen trashers on this thread yet. Surely he must be somewhat responsible for SS's ineptitude./sarc
I work for a construction company. One of our cleaning girls had worked for us for over two years, when we were notified by the IRS that her social security number was bogus. We told her that there was "a problem" with it (benefit of the doubt) so she could perhaps correct a legit error. She went home and didn't return.
C'mon, TWO YEARS for the IRS to figure that out?
They're ordered to ignore this by someone's authority. The answer? Illegals are paying millions into Social Security and Medicare, that they will (it's assumed) never take back out.
Social Security Reform having bombed out, this is our governments way of postponing the baby boomers' meltdown.
Thank the Dems. Thank AARP.
Until Citizens stand up for their rights, the illegals will hold sway.
We need a couple hundred million march on DC!
Why should they? Follow the money. Both the SS and IRS are making money off of it.
How/why is it that some two bit attorney/judge/critter can demand the President or Pentagon release records, regardless of how it may effect our national security, but the IRS and SSA don't have to?
Last I looked, that Allen thread from last night was still going!
Not correct. They don't credit your account when the names don't match.
However, they do keep the money.
Good point, the coffers are being filled!
Hopefully same illegal didn't screw up their credit while using their SS number.
I missed that one....thanks!
Government corruption to the tune of $6 BILLION a year. Just wait until the illegals all sue for reparations.
