Robert, it sounds like you learned an important lesson from our visual reporting: The protesters look just like you and me. If you want to talk more about your views of what journalism should be, drop by my office here at USC and we can go for coffee. In the meantime, take another look at the the photo gallery. Make sure you see the photo of the protesters displaying the "Fuck the Police" banner in front of a row of officers. Our professional police force is trained not to be "antagonized" by such antics.

Illegal Immigration, tax fraud and future laws
Weighing oral arguments last week in the U.S. Supreme Court, offered left little option to doubt that Arizona’s S.B 1070 that the Justice Department argument by Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli, that federal government had sole jurisdiction over immigration? However Arizona’s attorney, former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, has repeated insistently that the state is not seeking to do anything more than enforce federal laws that the U.S. government isn’t managing. Clement argued that the law provides only for possible immigration law violators to be held to give the federal government the chance to step in and prosecute them. Over the last several years, states frustrated with the country's porous borders have discarded the long-held misconception that Congress is not liable for not confronting illegal immigration.

A few states have passed laws to enable local police to address the problem. It is obvious there would be little need for the states of Arizona grabbing the headlines, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana and South Carolina and the rest of the 45 states being bled by the 20 million plus illegal aliens already here. No matter that the Pew Hispanic Center analysis of the numbers of illegal migrants is dwindling entering across the border? If you can even believe it’s true? The outcome of Arizona’s battle with the Obama administration could be a pivotal point in the states rights to enforce immigration statutes, which will protect their citizens from court ordered unfunded mandates.

Just released by Eyewitness News of Indiana's WTHR TV has revealed massive tax loophole that provides billions of dollars in tax credits to illegal aliens and people living in foreign countries. The loophole is called the Additional Child Tax Credit. It's a fully-refundable credit of up to $1000 per child, and it's meant to help working families who have children living at home. Eyewitness News has found many undocumented workers are claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico. A longtime Indiana tax consultant, who remains anonymous for fear of reprisal, came to 13 Investigates to blow the whistle about this nationwide problem involving illegal aliens who are filing tax returns.

"We're talking about a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme here that's taking place and no one is talking about it," tax preparer said. The Internal Revenue Service says everyone who is employed in the United States, even those who are working here illegally, must report income and pay taxes. Because illegal aliens are not supposed to have a social security number, the IRS created the individual taxpayer identification number, ITIN. A 9-digit ITIN number issued by the IRS provides both resident and nonresident aliens with a unique identification number that allows them to file tax returns.

This ITIN number is backfiring in a big way. Each spring, many illegal aliens are now eagerly filing tax returns to take advantage of the Additional Child Tax Credit using their ITIN numbers to get huge refunds from the IRS. "We've seen sometimes 10 or 12 dependents, most times nieces and nephews, on these tax forms," the whistleblower told Eyewitness News. "The more you put on there, the more you get back." The whistleblower has thousands of examples, and he brought some of them to 13 Investigates. The examples show that the tax filers had received large tax refunds after claiming additional child tax credits for many dependents.

WTHR spoke to several illegal aliens who confirmed it was easy to get the tax loophole credit. One of the illegal aliens admitted his address was used this year to file tax returns by four other undocumented workers who don't even live here. Those four workers claimed 20 children live inside the one residence and, as a result, the IRS sent the illegal immigrants tax refunds totaling $29,608. 13 Investigates asked the illegal alien why illegal aliens should receive tax credits for children living in a foreign country. "If the opportunity is there and they can give it to me, why not take advantage of it?" the illegal alien responded. Several of the illegal aliens told WTHR they were told it was legal for them to claim the tax credit for a child who does not live in the United States. According to Russell George, the United States Department of Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the IRS has known about this scheme for years.

"The magnitude of the problem has grown exponentially," he said. George has repeatedly warned the IRS that additional child tax credits are being abused by illegal aliens. In 2009, his office released an audit report that showed ITIN tax filers received about $1 billion in additional child tax credits. Last year, the inspector general released a new report showing the problem now costs American tax payers more than $4.2 billion.

What George finds even more troubling is the IRS has not taken action despite multiple warnings from the inspector general. "Millions of people are seeking this tax credit who, we believe, are not entitled to it," said the Inspector General. "We have made recommendations to the IRS as to how they could address this, and they have not taken sufficient action in our view to solve the problem."

The IRS tells WTHR it can do nothing to change the current system unless it gets permission from Congress. In other words, according to the IRS, closing the loophole would require lawmakers to pass a new law specifically excluding illegal immigrants from claiming additional child tax credits. Congressman Dan Burton (R-Ind.) is frustrated and ready to act.

Rep. Burton and dozens of other House Republicans have co-sponsored a bill that would essentially authorize additional child tax credits only for US citizens. House Resolution 1956 would require tax filers to provide a valid social security number to receive an additional child tax credit. "This rampant abuse of hardworking taxpayer dollars is just wrong," said Rep. Sam Johnson (R – Texas), who authored HR 1956. "It's time we close this tax loophole and put a stop to the child tax credit sham."

HR 1956 has sat idle in the House Ways and Means Committee for almost a year.

However, language from the bill is now included in a package of proposed budget savings measures that House lawmakers are expected to consider in May. While the budget package may have enough support to pass the House, it is expected to die a quick death in the Democratic-controlled Senate."This should not be a partisan issue because we're all concerned about saving taxpayer dollars and not wasting them on fraudulent things like this," said Rep. Burton.

It is not just Republicans who are concerned about the issues; Democrat Senators have taken action as well.

Last fall, Senator Claire McCaskill (D- Mo.) sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman asking him to stop the agency's payments of additional child tax credits to undocumented workers. "This is deeply problematic and must be remedied," the senator wrote. "I'm a taxpayer, and the thought of me paying for 24 people who are living in one trailer boggles my mind, especially when you tell me most of them are still living in Mexico. That's unconscionable." said Rep. Burton.

"It's cheating the American taxpayer," Burton said. "We all believe in humanity and humanitarianism, but we've got a $15 trillion national debt. We can't subsidize the whole world."

As the Congress continues to wrangle over mandatory E-Verify, the Obama Administration has issued a statement that it is getting ready to introduce a big expansion of the electronic application. A second law to support The Legal Workforce Act H.R. 2885 is to amend the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 (H.R.140); the country cannot maintain in subsidizing billions of dollars being extracted from the 50 states? Bad politicians should be thrown out of office, not excluding state Governors, Mayors, Judges and all elected officials, and replace them with Fresh Tea Party leaders who will insure everybody gets their fair share of the American Dream and enforce all laws attributed to the Constitution and the Rule of Law. “NumbersUSA” is maintaining a data base of all related information and you should investigate their website for the latest news. In addition read the circulation of daily media from both sides of the aisle in Congress at “American Patrol”. Both these laws if enacted by Congress, if pushed by the voters would without doubt begin the repatriation of unknown numbers of foreign national back to their country of origin, by self deportation.

Voters must stipulate from GOP House speaker, John Boehner (R-OH) and Dave Camp, (R-MI) the Chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee to stop blocking the 50-state E-Verify bill. They are disinclined to allow the E-Verify bill to stop illegal aliens from stealing Social Security numbers to obtain U.S. jobs. If you are really feeling vigorous, why don't you put in a call to one of Mr. Camp's offices: 202-225-3625 Washington, DC (Ways & Means) 202-225-3561 Washington, DC (personal office) 202-224-3121 Washington, DC (Capitol switchboard) 989-631-2552 Midland, Mich. (district office) 231-929-4711 Traverse City, Mich. (district office?)

The ‘PEOPLE’S’ Constitutional Tea Party will enforce our immigration laws, that will represent the people, will introduce a well regulated farm bill so Guest Workers can arrive here and then mandatory depart after their contract expires, with no amnesty. That the farming and agricultural commerce will pay the benefits for their labor and not the state’s taxpayers. There will no importation of migrant poverty anymore, cutting off access to welfare, food stamps, and section 8 housing programs. Don’t need or should we accept any new low skilled workers, instead we need to supply our own citizens with more occupational programs. Further we must safeguard our voting system which has been compromised by the far left, its Liberal associates and Democrats. These entities those are adamant on allowing no states rights to demand the use of official picture ID to vote. Illegal aliens are voting and will again in local, state and federal elections. Another set of regulations to amend, would be a careful examination of the current visa system allowing around a million legal immigrants annually into the U.S. No further violation can be tolerated from businesses and we should only permit the highest brains in engineering, the sciences, mathematicians and computer technology professionals to immigrate.

I find it very odd you don't show all the radical protesters wearing scarves and antagonizing the police officers. These don't look anything like the photos that have been posted on many other media outlets. Talk about bias, unbalanced reporting.
