IRS Commissioner: Paying Taxes Is Pathway to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens By Elizabeth Harrington April 5, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman said Thursday that paying taxes is a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.
At the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., 12 days before this year's tax-filing deadline (Apr. 17), Shulman was asked about what his agency is doing to collect taxes from illegal aliens.
“You know, it’s a great question,” he said. “One of the pathways to citizenship that people believe is a good one is--even if you’re not in this country legally--to pay taxes.”
“And so our job is to make sure, if you work in this country and you have a tax obligation, that you file a tax return,” said Shulman. “That’s what we try to do. And so our job is around exactly what whoever wrote the question asked, which is to make sure taxes are paid. We’re not responsible for the other pieces of immigration law, immigration policy.”
Illegal aliens do not have legitimate Social Security Numbers that entitle them to work in the United States--or to file federal tax returns. IRS and Social Security Administration records show that every year many millions of people file taxes using Social Security Numbers that either were never issued by the government or do not match the name of the person using it.

Okay - so either way they are breaking the law AGAIN beyond illegal entry!.
1) Not paying “withholding” even though they would get it back.
2) Paying “withholding” using a Fake SSN - thus committing fraud!
So why are they still here? Then there is the little detail that folks that are here legally, but are resident aliens PAY taxes, and they aren’t necessarily granted citizenship. Seems like illegals have more rights than I do!?!

“Identity Theft Is Pathway to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens”
Jose Madrigal---the Washington State rapist---was riding the US gravy train, using some 30 identities.
=================================================
REFERENCE An illegal family of four can have an income of $30,000 a year and still qualify for food stamps----with just one identity. A single mother, with two children who has a full time job that pays $7.25 an hour has an effective income of $48,000 a year when you add all the benefits she and her children receive from the government: food stamps, Medicaid coverage, subsidized child care, school lunch program, “Temporary” Assistance to Needy Families, subsidized housing, Earned Income Tax Credit, etc......with just one identity.
========================================
REFERENCE The Federal ID that Pays Illegal Aliens Billions -----November 28, 2011
......a recent analysis entitled, “Treasury Department Says Illegal Aliens Collection Billions in Tax Credits,” revealed that according to the Department of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs totaled $924 million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit.
EITC claims---can run up to over $3000 per claim. $20 billion is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals. Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities-----falsifying apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands.

Illegal Immigrant Living In US Arrested In Tax Scam; Was Selling Fake W-2 Forms To Other Illegal Immigrants, Police Say
WDSU / FR Posted by Arthurio, March 8
KENNER, La. -- Kenner police have arrested an illegal immigrant living in La Place in connection with a tax scam. Police said Tuesday that $20,000 was seized as evidence from his vehicle. Officers responding to a disturbance Friday found Marvin Baca in an argument about false W-2 forms that he sold to another illegal immigrant for $1,500, Kenner police said.
Police said Baca was arrested and confessed to a scam, saying he has been selling fictitious W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics who are in the country illegally.
Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a social security number of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive a refund.
Baca was charged with one count of identity theft and two counts of forgery.

July 21, 2006---BERGEN RECORD, NJ
Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs
(impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)
Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.
The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution by savage South of the Border drug kingpins.
The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.
The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.
All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards.

Sounds like Obama’s IRS thinks it has the authority to sell citizenship.
Sounds like liberals are trying to add to their voter base.
This is Obama’s total joke on US. Illegal aliens steal identities, so just how the Hell are they going to pay income taxes?
Didn’t you hear? Obama doesn’t have enough beds for the illegals, so he can’t keep ‘em. (He had $1 trillion for the Porkulus bill though).
He will count those that he let go as “apprehended” though, when he wants to sound like a law-and-order guy. (Depends on who the audience is.)
Not only are they using Soc Sec numbers that do not belong to them.....
IT is ILLEGAL for them to work anywhere in this country!!!
What else doesn’t the Obama Administration NOT understand?
Do they even know what an I-9 Form is and what is required to properly fill one out???
I believe/choose the second option.
I use the same set of excuses when I have people insisting that WE learn to speak Spanish.
Are we just inherently smarter, such that learning Spanish is easier for us to learn, than for a Mexican to learn English - or are the Mexicans just lazy? Which is it, are Mexicans too stupid to learn English, or too lazy?
If we move to a foreign country, I fully expect to learn the language of that country. My grandfather spoke French, Norwegion, German and Malagashi; and had to learn English when he came here. Apparently it wasn’t too hard for him, he managed to learn English in just a few years (not numerous generations). So, which is it? Stupid, or lazy?
My parents were both immigrants. I didn’t get to know my father because he passed away before I was born. However my mother carried her very distinctive accent untill her death. However one of the proudest days of her life was when she became a citizen. As with the rest of her family here in the USA my mother through all the years, even the depression, wanted to be a USA citizen and not the USA to be her homeland. So to address your question as to stupid or lazy I would say neither is a complete cause. Rather it is that some immigrants want the USA with its bounty to become their native land. The same goes for Muslims.
Illegal aliens fill out Forms W-4 so that their employer can withhold the correct federal income tax and the IRS just overlooks this ,so the same illegal that has a fake or stolen ss # but uses on them w-4 tax form submitted to the irs and he uses his tax id to file taxes, work that one out.
The fix is in folks, they will never send these illegals back and they will never stop them from coming in. The law is dead. The USA is no longer a sovereign nation, just an international freeway.

Illegal "separatists" loot the US Treasury and extort US taxpayers to finance their activities----setting up a hyphenated Third World inside the US.
REFERENCE: The Mérida Initiative (also called Plan Mexico by critics) is a so-called "security cooperation agreement" between the United States and the government of Mexico and the countries of Central America, with the declared aim of combating the threats of drug trafficking, transnational organized crime and money laundering. The assistance includes training, equipment and intelligence.
In seeking partnership with the United States, Mexican officials point out that the illicit drug trade is a shared problem in need of a shared solution, and remark that most of the financing for the Mexican traffickers comes from American drug consumers. U.S. law enforcement officials estimate that US$12 to 15 billion per year flows from the United States to the Mexican traffickers, and that is just in cash, i.e., not including the money sent by wire transfers.
The U.S. Congress passed legislation in late June 2008 to provide Mexico with $400 million and Central American countries with $65 million that year for the Mérida Initiative. The initiative was announced on 22 October 2007 and signed into law on June 30, 2008.
