I believe in the old 80/20 rule. 80% are honest, 20% maybe not so much. I don't like fraud either, but I also don't like to generalize about people. You had a bad situation, but it doesn't mean that all immigrants are suspect. I hope you are able to discover this for yourself one day.
Put those babies outside for a few minutes - their temps will drop in no time - lol!!!!

Proud,
I would be careful when defining tax fraud, or tax cheat. Not paying taxes is not considered cheating since the IRS has the innocent spouse rule, the injure spouse rule, payment arrangements, currently non collectible, and offer in compromise to assist people with their tax liabilities.
Tax fraud is very specific in the tax code and should remain that specific. But in the political rality, the definition changes as the wind changes. Remember Abranoff and Tom Delay. If you guessed they were also tax cheats, you won the big Kahuna. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Hi Hudson,
I wasn't referring to tax cheats in my post. Sorry if it was misleading. I was addressing MIR's reference to fraudulent immigrants - that's all.
