Analyst's note: When are the American taxpayers going to 'stand up?' I almost forgot, we have a lot of Americans actually now dependent on government and a shrinking number of taxpayers NOT even paying taxes. When you call for public assistance you are now told "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic!" 1-888-678-8914. We even have Gang of 8 are cramming last-minute, hand-written amendments into immigration bill. Add all this to the illegal immigration and ask yourself, "How is that going to work out?"
Other questions include:
"Why is the IRS sending tax refunds to illegal aliens in the first place? If they worked in this country (legally or illegally) they should be paying taxes and they should not be entitled refunds. That’s not even saying anything about the obvious fraud going on here.
Perhaps if the IRS wasn’t so busy chasing down Tea Party and pro-life groups, they would have noticed the $46 million they sent to one address."

from CNS:
The Internal Revenue Service sent 23,994 tax refunds worth a combined $46,378,040 to “unauthorized” alien workers who all used the same address in Atlanta, Ga., in 2011, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).
That was not the only Atlanta address theoretically occupied by thousands of “unauthorized” alien workers receiving millions in federal tax refunds in 2011. In fact, according to a TIGTA audit report published last year, four of the top ten addresses to which the IRS sent thousands of tax refunds to “unauthorized” aliens were in Atlanta.
The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to unauthorized alien workers at a second Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.
Other locations on the IG’s Top Ten list for singular addresses that were theoretically used simultaneously by thousands of unauthorized alien workers, included an address in Oxnard, Calif, where the IRS sent 2,507 refunds worth $10,395,874; an address in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the IRS sent 2,408 refunds worth $7,284,212; an address in Phoenix, Ariz., where the IRS sent 2,047 refunds worth $5,558,608; an address in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where the IRS sent 1,972 refunds worth $2,256,302; an address in San Jose, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,942 refunds worth $5,091,027; and an address in Arvin, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,846 refunds worth $3,298,877.
Since 1996, the IRS has issued what it calls Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to two classes of persons: 1) non-resident aliens who have a tax liability in the United States, and 2) aliens living in the United States who are “not authorized to work in the United States.”
