Money deducted from wages for Social Security is money the illegal immigrants will never see again, said Pedro Rios, San Diego office director for the Quaker organization. Illegal immigrants also pay sales tax every time they go to the store and other federal and state taxes every time they buy gasoline, he said. True for every other citizen as well.

Maybe I don't understand this properly, but if the person has a fake SSN and having it deducted from their wages, why wouldn't they also try to file for the Socialist Redistribution Act a.k.a. earned income credit? I'm sure a lot of them do.

I heard this past week on Glen Beck that Illegals were refunded 10 BILLION dollars this past year via the IRS. (also read it on the minutemen project website; 10B in 2002)

The IRS has issued more than 7.4 million taxpayer ID numbers over the past 10 years to Illegals. The Illegals say that they are filing, not b/c of the refunds but b/c "they want to do the right thing by the government" sure.

TEN BILLION dollars was given back to illegal aliens in income tax refunds (EIC) in 2004. And of course the government knows where they are!

TEN BILLION.

BECK: This is insanity. You know, I just saw a number -- and tell me if this number is right, if you even have it -- I just saw a number on, in 2004, what we paid illegal aliens in tax refunds, 2004. Do you know this number?

CAMAROTA: Yes, I believe -- the figure I`ve heard is about $10 billion. That`s based on estimates that the Treasury Department has done itself, $10 billion they paid back to illegal aliens.

BECK: That is insane. We`re paying them $10 billion, and we can`t arrest them, we can`t even find them, we don`t even know -- $10 billion? And now we`re giving them Social Security, one that we don`t need another country to sabotage for us. We`re doing it ourselves. The whole thing is going to collapse.

CAMAROTA: Yes, and what`s worse than that is, that the IRS issues them tax I.D. numbers so that they can then file their income tax with their false Social Security numbers so that we can give them their $10 billion back.

BECK: OK, all right. So the last thing here -- let me just role play here for a second. I`m an illegal alien. I have to now go to the government and prove to the government that I have a fake I.D., that I bought a fake Social Security card on the street in the black market, and then the government rewards me for that, right?

CAMAROTA: Yes, in effect, sure. Once you get legal status, then you apply for the credits that you earned while you were an illegal alien. And the way you do that is like you said: You show your false documents. You bring out your bogus tax returns, and so forth.
