Identity Theft:
Illegal Aliens’ Stock and Trade
As Congress delved into Facebook’s “scraping” of users’ personal information last week, illegal aliens are using stolen identities to loot Americans and the government.
- In California, an illegal alien fraudulently collected $360,000 benefits using a series of assumed aliases.
- In Florida, a four-time deportee pleaded guilty to “aggravated identity theft” in using false documents to evade immigration authorities.
- In Wisconsin, one illegal raked in $1,058,827 in tax refunds using bogus Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITINs).
Not a week goes by without some major identity-theft case hitting the news. Commentator Victor Davis Hanson, who had his identity stolen, calls such thievery “the great unspoken twin of illegal immigration.”
Indeed, identity theft is one of the chief crimes committed by illegal aliens as they raid the U.S. Treasury and rip off taxpayers.
The Washington Times reported that 87 percent of online tax filings with an ITIN showed income associated with a Social Security number that could not possibly belong to the filer.
In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service identified some 1.3 million cases in which illegal aliens used illegitimate or inconsistent Social Security numbers to file tax returns.
Worse yet, Treasury investigators found that the IRS paid out $3.4 billion in tax refunds to known illegal aliens in 2015.
In light of the rampant fraud, tougher federal penalties for “aggravated identity theft”became available in 2004. Aggravated identity theft applies to various immigration offenses, including “false personation of citizenship,” as well as “theft of public money.”
That’s all well and good. But according to a Treasury Department examination of suspect federal tax returns from 2011 to 2016, not a single case was referred for prosecution. So the business of identity theft goes on with only token resistance.
One obvious fix is to get rid of the fraud-prone ITINs altogether. Citizens and legal residents don’t need them; they have Social Security numbers.
If jettisoning ITINs is not possible, or not enough, the IRS should at least be required to communicate with the Department of Homeland Security to check which Social Security numbers may have been used by illegal aliens. Current policy that bars the IRS from exchanging information with DHS is worse than nonsensical; it’s aiding and abetting criminal aliens to continue gaming the system.
The enormity of it all might make Mark Zuckerberg blush.
MEXIFORNIA
under LA RAZA SUPREMACY RULE: CA has the largest and most expensive prison
system in the nation. Half the inmates are Mexicans. Half the murders in CA are by Mexican gangs.
In Mexico’s second largest city of Los Angeles, 93% of the murders are by
Mexicans.

"The
state of California and the sanctuary city laws that make it a safe-haven for
criminal illegal aliens is likely responsible for at least 5,000 crimes that
were committed by criminal illegal aliens released by local authorities rather
than being handed over to federal immigration officials."
AMERICA vs MEXICO: CLASHING CULTURES

Mexicans cheat, distribute drugs, lie, forge
documents, steal and kill as if it’s a normal
way of life. For them, it is. Mexico’s
civilization stands diametrically opposed to
America’s culture.
AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY
REPORT: The assault to finish off the
American middle-class is NOT over
“The report noted
that many illegals
don't have jobs or have difficulty in landing
good jobs because of local laws.”
“However, it
identified several states that
have begun easing employment laws so
that illegals can get a job.”
