*Prosecutor Busts Illegal Immigrants With Tax Records -- But Is It Legal?*
GREELEY, Colo. ? Immigrant advocates say they've seen nothing like it before or since: A prosecutor looking for illegal immigrants seized thousands of confidential tax records from an income tax preparer popular with Hispanics in this northern Colorado city.
*The October seizures led to identity theft and criminal impersonation charges against more than 70 people, and prosecutors allege that as many as 1,300 suspected illegal immigrants were working using false or stolen Social Security numbers.*
But the American Civil Liberties Union said the documents of as many as 4,900 people were seized, many of them legal residents, and that the probe was the "equivalent of a house-by-house search of innocent homeowners in order to find a suspect believed to be somewhere in the neighborhood."
Two judges have agreed, ruling that Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck had no probable cause to seize the records. Buck is appealing, however, and a ruling in his favor could open up a new avenue for prosecuting illegal immigrants. . .
The charges have been ironic for immigrants like Horacio Arturo Cervantes. The 42-year-old father of four from the Mexican state of Chihuahua *said he had been HONEST about paying taxes, even though he was in the country ILLEGALLY, because he was hoping for a path to U.S. citizenship.*. . .
Many of those caught in Operation Numbers Game continue to insist they did nothing wrong.
"If it's a crime to pay taxes, then the IRS should also be charged because they're the ones who gave us the ITIN," said Maria Eugenia Rey, 37, who is in the country illegally, along with her husband, Luis.

So according to the ACLU, EVEN if you're in this country illegally, EVEN if you've STOLEN someone's identity and are using that stolen identity to work in this country, the U.S. has NO right to prosecute you or throw you out of the country??!! OR, if the I.R.S. issues you a TIN based upon assuming the info you provided is legal and correct, IT'S the I.R.S.'s fault for allowing the illegal alien into the country and the I.R.S. is JOINTLY responsible for the illegal activities of the illegal aliens!!
Good Lord!!
