Undocumented Aliens Get $10,000 or more in Fraudulent Tax Refunds
Watch this video and be shocked and outraged. The IRS has known about this scheme for years. One of the reasons that this massive tax fraud is allowed to continue is so that millions of potential undocumented Democrats can afford to continue to live here and vote for the party that is slowly destroying our country.

Before some of my liberal readers cry that the problem is exaggerated:
FactCheck.org, 11 May 2012, Tax Credits for Illegal Immigrants
Q: Does the IRS pay billions in tax refunds to workers who are in the U.S. illegally?
A: Yes. The Treasury Department’s Inspector General determined that $4.2 billion was paid in 2010, up from less than $1 billion in 2005. Leading Democrats are resisting a bill that would stop future payments.
...
The IG report stated that more than 2.3 million persons who did not have Social Security numbers valid for working in the U.S. got an average of roughly $1,800 each in 2010 in child tax credit refunds. That included 9,000 illegal immigrants who each got a total of $10,000 or more by retroactively claiming credits for tax years prior to 2010.
There is nothing the IRS can do because the law is ambiguous on the matter and Congress refuses to do anthing about it:
The Washington Post, 2 Sep 2011, Undocumented workers got billions from IRS in tax credits, audit finds
Although undocumented workers are not eligible for federal benefits, the report released Thursday by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration concludes that federal law is ambiguous on whether these workers qualify for a tax break based on earned income called the additional child tax credit.
...
The audit recommended that the IRS seek clarification on the law and check the immigration status of filers with taxpayer indentificaion [sic] numbers.
IRS officials, in response to a draft of the report, agreed to consult with the Treasury Department on the law. But they said they have no legal authority to demand that filers prove their legal status when the tax agency processes returns.
Changes to tax law are partly to blame for the explosion in refunds for additional child tax credits in recent years, auditors found. Before 2001, filers needed to have three or more children to qualify — and to owe more Social Security taxes than earned income credits.
But those requirements have been eliminated and the allowable refund for each child doubled. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 also made the refund easier to get, auditors found.

National Council of La Raza, 30 Jan 2012, Latinos Oppose Changes to Child Tax Credit
Congressional leaders have proposed a change in law that would make children in the lowest income families bear the burden of paying for the current payroll tax extension. The offset under consideration would block taxpayers who use the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from receiving the Child Tax Credit.
Rather than asking millionaires to pay their share, this ill-conceived policy would make low-income families pay more in taxes instead.
More than 4 million Latino children and their families would face greater hunger, poverty, and other severe hardships if this proposal is enacted, with negative consequences to the entire nation immediately and for years to come.
If I had a criminal mind, I would make a deal with poor people in Mexico to let me buy adopt their children in exchange for splitting whatever fraudulent tax refunds I get by declaring those children as my dependents. But think about it: if I can suggest a legal way to make money from something that is obviously a fraud, and Liberals don't want to fix it, what does that say about the Democratic Party?
