Um, I guess that means they pay taxes after all. My friend Drew Seman from Immigrants List forwarded a funny little email from Dan Stein at FAIR stating
Congress Poised to Give Tax Rebates to
Illegal Aliens
Call Your Senators Now!
The
economic stimulus package traveling through Congress right now does nothing to
stop the IRS from issuing rebate checks to illegal aliens. Please call
your Senators now and urge them to take
action!
So which is it, Dan? Unauthorized immigrants are just mooching off the system and not paying taxes? Or they're paying taxes, but don't deserve equal treatment? Can't have it both ways, so pick one.
This reminds of the folks who argue in one breath that the "illegals" (there term, not mine) are just hear to get our Welfare. Then they complain they're stealing our jobs. Huh?!
Now FAIR and other morons wake up and start demanding not to give the rebate checks to the illegal immigrants, because they agree that a good number of illegals file their returns using ITIN numbers. The whole purpose of stimulating the economy, if at all there is such effect, is getting lost.
Oh B T W, the interpretation has come down to the point that all ITIN holders=Illegal immigrants. There are visa categories that are not allowed to work but file return as a dependent using ITIN.
