The Austin IRS shovels millions of dollars to illegal aliens who claim not only their own children living in Mexico, but nieces and nephews as well. No proof that these children even exist is required by the IRS, which hounds U.S. citizens for documentation of every deduction.
Some refunds are over $30,000....which the happy illegal then uses to buy a car or truck for cash. And the U.S. taxpayer doesn’t even get a thank-you note.
Hey, a voting bloc is a voting bloc.

“...but IRS criminal investigators can’t refer a case directly to the U.S. Attorney’s Office without approval from Justice Department attorneys in Washington.” experience.”
Having worked there many years ago, I see things have not changed at all in 30 years. One AUSA I was working with on a violation separate from a tax charge, called the DOJ and asked when he was going to get the tax referral case. The DOJ attorney said he had many problems with the levels of proof. The AUSA said to him “hey hump, when you get tired of trying that case on your desk, get it down here as the guy wants to plead guilty”. And so it goes.
Now with Holder in charge at DOJ, I wonder how many of his people he will feel are being screwed by the man and direct his attorneys to not send any matters forward if the person is on some kind of public aid. Add to that mix individual crooks who are big donors to His Excellency especially if they were former governors.
Still won't be Nirvana but would help.
Both my sons live in Tampa. One complained that when he filed, he was given $1k less than what he computed on his returns, but the IRS gave no explanation for the difference. For him and his family, living on a salary of less than $26k per year this was a huge loss. Makes one wonder...
Knock me over with a feather... how can it be?
What’s next? That folks who break the law to come here illegally ALSO break other laws once they get here?
And then... that the sun will come up in the East tomorrow!
I can’t breath - how can it be?
More than 10,000 people remain on a waiting list for federally subsidized housing in Hillsborough County.
10,000? Look state by state and you'll see waiting lists for assistance are described as years long. Preferences are given to minorities, women and women with children.
The #1 solution is jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
This is the part were the "I got mine" types swoop in and attack those just trying to get by because they can't find someone to hire them in Obama's economy with 85 million (or more) fighting over available jobs. I say to those snarky asses: SHUT-UP & HIRE or watch out, your time may come.
