TAX LOOHOLES FOR ILLEGALS COST AMERICANS BILLIONS


Moreover, the Inspector General released a report last year showing that illegal aliens received an astounding $4.2 billion in taxpayer dollars by claiming the ACTC in 2010.

ANOTHER OBAMA HANDOUT TO ILLEGALS?
 

Inspector General: IRS Management Discouraged Employees from Discovering Illegal Alien Tax Fraud

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released a report last week indicating that Internal Revenue Service (IRS) managers discouraged their employees from detecting illegal alien tax fraud. (Fox News, Aug. 9, 2012)

The latest Treasury Inspector General report legitimizes years of employee complaints about deficiencies in the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) application review and verification process. Although illegal aliens are unauthorized to work in the U.S., they are required to comply with federal tax laws. As a result, the IRS grants illegal aliens ITINs to allow them to file tax returns.

However, the report reveals that IRS management “has not established adequate internal controls to detect and prevent the assignment of an ITIN to individuals submitting questionable applications.” (See TIGTA Report 2012-42-081 at p. 6, July 16, 2012) According to the Inspector General's findings, IRS management has:

·         Created an environment which discourages tax examiners responsible for reviewing ITIN applications from identifying questionable applications;

·         Eliminated successful processes used to identify questionable ITIN application fraud patterns and schemes; and

·         Established processes and procedures that are inadequate to verify each applicant's identity and foreign status. (Id.)

In particular, the report notes that IRS management cares more about quickly processing ITIN applications than ensuring it grants ITINs to only qualifying individuals. The report reads, “The lack of emphasis on identifying questionable applications is demonstrated by the processing time periods set for tax examiner review of the applications, the lack of extensive training on identifying questionable applications, and the criteria tax examiners are required to follow when identifying an application as questionable.” (Id. at p. 6) Even more telling of the IRS' unwillingness to stop fraud, the report notes that even if criteria and training were adequate, IRS protocol makes it unrealistic to expect employees to be able to identify fraudulent applications because the IRS accepts mere copies of supporting documentation rather than requiring the original document or a certified copy. (Id. at p. 7) The report concludes that as a result of such policies, the IRS ends up assigning ITINs to individuals with fraudulent applications — primarily illegal aliens — which enables them to commit tax fraud.

Alarmingly, the IRS has known of such tax fraud for at least a decade, following a September 2002 report revealing that illegal aliens had been using ITINs to collect the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). Under the ACTC, illegal aliens can receive tax refunds even if they did not pay any taxes themselves. Because of this, the Inspector General said, “it is essential that the IRS have adequate processes and procedures that ensure only qualified and eligible individuals are assigned an ITIN.” (Id.)

Nonetheless, cases of illegal aliens committing ACTC fraud are rampant. Earlier this year, an investigation by an Indianapolis news station uncovered that illegal aliens working unlawfully in the U.S. were claiming the tax credit for minor relatives — primarily nieces and nephews — living outside of the country, in Mexico. The Indianapolis reporter also spoke with an illegal alien who revealed that multiple illegal aliens had been scamming taxpayers by using the same address to claim the ACTC for 20 minors, when in fact only one child actually lived at the given address. His explanation: “If the opportunity is there and they [the government] can give it to me, why not take advantage of it?” (NBC wthr.com, July 5, 2012)

Moreover, the Inspector General released a report last year showing that illegal aliens received an astounding $4.2 billion in taxpayer dollars by claiming the ACTC in 2010. (See TIGTA Report 2011-41-061, July 7, 2011; see also FAIR Legislative Update, Sept. 6, 2011)Although several Members of Congress have introduced bills to eliminate the ability of illegal aliens to receive this tax credit by requiring a valid social security number, Congressional leadership refuses to act

FIFTEEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LA RAZA “THE RACE”

by Michelle Malkin

Only in America could critics of a group called "The Race" be labeled racists. Such is the triumph of left-wing identity chauvinists, whose aggressive activists and supine abettors have succeeded in redefining all opposition as "hate."

Both Barack Obama and John McCain will speak this week in San Diego at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the Latino organization whose name is Spanish for, yes, "The Race." Can you imagine Obama and McCain paying homage to a group of white people who called themselves that? No matter. The presidential candidates and the media have legitimized "The Race" as a mainstream ethnic lobbying group and marginalized its critics as intolerant bigots. The unvarnished truth is that the group is a radical ethnic nationalist outfit that abuses your tax dollars and milks PC politics to undermine our sovereignty.

*

Here are 15 things you should know about "The Race":

15. "The Race" supports driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

*

14."The Race" demands in-state tuition discounts for illegal alien students that are not available to law-abiding U.S. citizens and law-abiding legal immigrants.

*

13. "The Race" vehemently opposes cooperative immigration enforcement efforts between local, state and federal authorities.

*

12. "The Race" opposes a secure fence on the southern border.

*

11. "The Race" joined the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in a failed lawsuit attempt to prevent the feds from entering immigration information into a key national crime database -- and to prevent local police officers from accessing the data.

*

10. "The Race" opposed the state of Oklahoma's tough immigration-enforcement-first laws, which cut off welfare to illegal aliens, put teeth in employer sanctions and strengthened local-federal cooperation and information sharing.

*

9. "The Race" joined other open-borders, anti-assimilationists and sued to prevent Proposition 227, California's bilingual education reform ballot initiative, from becoming law.

*

8. "The Race" bitterly protested common-sense voter ID provisions as an "absolute disgrace."

*

7. "The Race" has consistently opposed post-9/11 national security measures at every turn.

*

6. Former "Race" president Raul Yzaguirre, Hillary Clinton's Hispanic outreach adviser, said this: "U.S. English is to Hispanics as the Ku Klux Klan is to blacks." He was referring to U.S. English, the nation's oldest, largest citizens' action group dedicated to preserving the unifying role of the English language in the United States. "The Race" also pioneered Orwellian open-borders Newspeak and advised the Mexican government on how to lobby for illegal alien amnesty while avoiding the terms "illegal" and "amnesty."

*

5. "The Race" gives mainstream cover to a poisonous subset of ideological satellites, led by Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA). The late GOP Rep. Charlie Norwood rightly characterized the organization as "a radical racist group … one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West."

*

4. "The Race" is currently leading a smear campaign against staunch immigration enforcement leaders and has called for TV and cable news networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves -- in addition to pushing for Fairness Doctrine policies to shut up their foes. The New York Times reported that current "Race" president Janet Murguia believes "hate speech" should "not be tolerated, even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights."

*

3. "The Race" sponsors militant ethnic nationalist charter schools subsidized by your public tax dollars (at least $8 million in federal education grants). The schools include Aztlan Academy in Tucson, Ariz., the Mexicayotl Academy in Nogales, Ariz., Academia Cesar Chavez Charter School in St. Paul, Minn., and La Academia Semillas del Pueblo in Los Angeles, whose principal inveighed: "We don't want to drink from a White water fountain, we have our own wells and our natural reservoirs and our way of collecting rain in our aqueducts. We don't need a White water fountain … ultimately the White way, the American way, the neo liberal, capitalist way of life will eventually lead to our own destruction."

*

2. "The Race" has perfected the art of the PC shakedown at taxpayer expense, pushing relentlessly to lower home loan standards for Hispanic borrowers, reaping millions in federal "mortgage counseling" grants, seeking special multimillion-dollar earmarks and partnering with banks that do business with illegal aliens.

*

1. "The Race" thrives on ethnic supremacy -- and the elite sheeple's unwillingness to call it what it is. As historian Victor Davis Hanson observes: "[The] organization's very nomenclature 'The National Council of La Raza' is hate speech to the core. Despite all the contortions of the group, Raza (as its Latin cognate suggests) reflects the meaning of 'race' in Spanish, not 'the people'-- and that's precisely why we don't hear of something like 'The National Council of the People,' which would not confer the buzz notion of ethnic, racial and tribal chauvinism."

The fringe is the center. The center is the fringe. Viva La Raza?
