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.
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,

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?
