What happens if the IRS “accidentally” cuts someone a refund check that is too large by few thousand dollars, and they deposit it anyway?

If they didn’t use their real names or birthdates their applications should be considered fraudulent and therefore null and void.

“inspector general found that the immigrants used different names or birthdates to apply for citizenship”

Thankfully, this tactic would never be used for registering to vote and voting. /sarc

Just another method for government to let our country be overrun by barbarians. Slow national suicide.
