Most people don't realize that in order to legalize their status undocumented are required to get an INIT number from IRS in order to pay payroll taxes and file every year forfeiting their refunds as a requirement for their immigration application. But White voters are getting their racist porn now.
Privilege especially a foundational one that goes back to the inception of our nation is like a drug. Most don't even realize they enjoy it until something threatens it. The fact that White America is faced with the fact that they will be a minority in a generation has freaked them out.
Look up Curtis Yarvin, his philosophy and connection to Peter Thiel who bankrolled Vance’s senate run and what is happening makes a lot of sense. Felt like a conspiracy when I first read it but damn does it explain a lot of what’s going on with DOGE. Trying to irreparably break the federal gov
Sounds a lot like the old Grover Norquist line about shrinking the government until he could "drown it in the bathtub," to help rich guys like his dad who felt aggrieved they were expected to pay taxes like everyone else.
Nah, Yarvin is a monarchist. I will never forget the time he was visibly upset in public on behalf of the French slavers killed in the Haitian Revolution.
If it’s broken, then agencies will all of a sudden ‘have no choice’ but to pay the billionaire tech brats to take over. 🤷🏻♀️ oopsies. See how easy?🤬 infuriating
Facing frozen funds, San Antonio & Catholic Charities will give up migrant information to feds-“including their names, contact information & a detailed & descriptive list of specific svcs provided”-it’s money owed to them plus a notice they’ll receive no future funds & should shut down operations
"An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a 9-digit number the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues to people filing a tax return who are not U.S. citizens and do not have or are not eligible for a Social Security number. You can only use your ITIN for tax reporting purposes." 👍
I wouldn't know how to define "a lot" but yes, I do believe there are many people taking the legal and ethical path toward citizen-participation. And in the recent past (you know, before the orange slob was installed) by law, filing a tax return was not any kind of immigration jeopardy.
Yes there are b/c the IRS, as a rule, never shares tax filing info with DHS. The IRS’ focus in on getting tax payments, even from illegal or criminal activities. People unlawfully present wont file tax returns if they know the IRS will report them to DHS, so the IRS never reports.
I can tell you my husband has done taxes professionally for 30 years, and he's never seen one person file this way. This year, they have sent numerous, clearly American Citizens, requests to prove their identity through something called ID Me.
I love it when I'm honestly ignorant of something (it happens a lot) and someone is just like *here ya go*
And tosses out information I probably should have already known.
At least it meets the 3 doge criteria: wastes perfectly good tax dollars ensuring there’ll be fewer tax dollars; perpetrates fraud that they’re saving money; and abuses people magats love to hate.
Why isn't this a crime? See 26 U.S. Code §§ 6103 and 7213. The former is really long but on a quick skim I don't see any authorized disclosure that these thugs could exploit lawfully.
Of course, it's way easier to go after people who follow all the laws. Actual criminals tend to do things like hide and run away and sometimes fight back. Much quicker and safer to score political points by rounding up some boring, law-abiding folks.
JFC, gotta keep their rage monkeys happy with a 24-7 live stream of deportation even if it crushes the lie of "immigrants getting bennies without paying a dime"
If you have not noticed, does not matter, even legal people, your fellow human beings, are being deported to foreign prisons to be tortured. People who did all the right things and waited in line and are naturalized citizens are being deported.
Stop Gaslighting. This is not a debate. This is fact.
that's all he's gone after. low hanging fruit, people in the legal system trying to do it right. Driving them back into the dark . Even Reagan knew that wasn't what we wanted https://www.boundless.com/blog/reagan/
So they’re paying payroll taxes that they will NEVER be able to collect on (social security) and doing jobs that are below everyday Americans? But yea let’s lock them up
I was told years ago by my conservative father that the reason why government agencies didn't just compare files and share them was because the info gathered was for service reasons and it would be tyranny if the govt went fishing for criminals without reasonable suspicion
*suspected* undocumented people…
this *administration* is clearly having a hard time identifying the violent criminals that trump is so eager to deport

To be followed by bad faith claims about deficits and budgets.
Then rhetoric about why old ladies and schoolchildren don't deserve food mor disabled healthcare, because "fiscal responsibility"?

Because all this was being stolen from immigrants, while MAGAs accuse immigrants of stealing services.

This can't be said enough.
