I hope they got the rat baastaad that stole the money I was owed for my 2011 return a month before I even filed! I JUST got my return back after much investigation, but who ultimately pays for this? WE DO! I now have an IRS PIN #. WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE?

For the same reason my friend, that not everyone had a voter ID. The left screams of discrimination….in this case, I'm sure it'd be turned into some anti-illegal-immigrant (ooops, I mean undocumented worker) rant……yet you and I pay…and pay, and pay...

Probably not but your lack of intelligence and your racism should be.

Oh come on, hf2hvit....lighten up a little. Ordinarily I might agree with you to at least ''some'' degree..but not here. There is ''clearly'' a humorous side to this story. Learn to recognize true racism. Mislabeling it simply makes ''you'' the one who is racist...and I suspect you are. Things like this go both ways, ya know...

@hf2hvit----If there was as much true racism as you and others like you allege, there would be KKK rallies on every street corner in America. How is his question racist? After all, who is it that is going to have these kinds of cards? As the article said, criminals that steal identities. How many of the 12 million illegals in America have stolen identities? Probably a good percentage of them. So, tell me please, how is the truth racist?

The Patent Leather backpack with the lizard straps and the Gucci zipper pull were the first thing that gave the kid away.

The first tip off should have been at the beginning of the school year when the kid was buying lunch and needing change for a 100 dollar bill every single day.
