Isn't identity theft a felony in this country? Every employee that used a fraudulent S.S. number has broken some law, but the employer that knowingly conspires to assist hundreds of illegal aliens with identity theft, possibly going as far as providing the fraudulent I.D. should have the F.B.I. on their asses using any and all means to put them in prison! Since when has I.R.S. information been off limit or confidential? Starting with Al Capone, and as far as I know to this very day, the government has used I.R.S. information to put people behind bars. Any lawyers on board that could elaborate?

I believe it is. I've been telling people for a while now that illegals are the catylist for the dramatic increase of identity theft in our country.

As far as privacy laws are concerned, I think the appointed heads of these agencies (appointed by Bush) are just saying that as justification for not forwarding this information to the INS (or whatever they are called these days), local U.S. Attorney's offices for prosecution and other Federal and State law enforcement agencies. If the IRS wanted to prosecute you for tax fraud, they would have no problems forwarding your confidential information to the U.S. Attorney's Office for your prosecution.
