"He hasn't declared himself guilty, and he won't declare himself guilty because he hasn't committed a crime," said Rey.

I really get sick and tired of illegal aliens acting like our laws dont pertain to them and they will do whatever they want to.

I can explain ITINs there are billions of dollars in American property owned by people who are foreigners living overseas. The ITIN was created by the IRS to assist them not illegal aliens. If Cervantes or Rey owned stock, CDs or real estate and were paying taxes on income from that they would be acting in the spirit of the law. Using it to pay taxes earned here working as illegal aliens they are not.

What a MESS

No ITIN numbers unless you are have legal status. And ITIN should be for business ONLY, and children shouldn't be counted in the business deduction and foreigners are not to have any other deductions on a 1040. How are illegal using ITIN getting EIC and why are they even being allowed to file a tax form 1040. They should only be paying taxes via ITIN numbers, and they shouldn't be allowed standard deductions, exemptions credit, and etc....

Our governments have been so busy attacking American Citizens and careless about the 50 million illegal immigrants breaking so many laws.

So who in this group of criminal crooks KNEW they were committing a CRIME.

INTERESTING Watch the elected official and courts, daily

Thanks for the explanation Richard. I'm no tax Attorney by any means... BUT if they were using someone's SS# and claiming the taxes on their ITIN's , the person who's SS# was being used is still being taxed , correct? And someday they will get a bill on the unpaid taxes, this is how a lot of people discover they have had their Identity stolen. So it takes the REAL person YEARS to straighten out the mess.
If this isn't a crime I don't know what is!

Thanks JD2.

Excellent question. I think it depends. For those of you in the DFW area, let me know if I'm wrong. I have watched the news everyday since 1990 or so. Most crimes that they reported were committed by black people. Over the years up to the present, most of the crime stories are about hispanics. There has been a major demographics shift in Dallas to where now black people are targeted by latinos. I wish the MSM here in DFW would at least report on these peoples immigration status. It is hardly ever mentioned.

Obama: Check Immigration Status of Inmates in Jails

Obama: Check more immigration status of inmates
By SPENCER S. - HSU Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is expanding a program initiated by President George W. Bush aimed at checking the immigration status of virtually every person booked into local jails. In four years, the measure could result in a tenfold increase in deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes, according to current and former U.S. officials.
By matching inmates' fingerprints to federal immigration databases, authorities hope to pinpoint deportable immigrants before they are released from custody. Inmates in federal and state prisons already are screened. But authorities generally lack the time and staff to do the same at the nation's local jails, which house up to twice as many illegal immigrants and where inmates come and go more quickly.
The effort is likely to significantly reshape immigration enforcement, current and former executive branch officials said. It comes as the Obama administration and Democratic leaders in Congress vow to crack down on criminals, rather than illegal immigrants who otherwise abide by the law.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano "has made that very clear" that her top priority is deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, said David J. Venturella, program director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"We mean this, we're serious about it, and we believe we need to put in an all-out effort to get this done," said Rep. David E. Price, D-N.C., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee for homeland security, who has led calls to remove illegal immigrants convicted of crimes after their sentences are served.
The program began as a pilot effort in October and now operates in 48 counties across the country. This year, it will screen fingerprints from 1 million local jail bookings. It is operating in Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Boston and Phoenix, according to ICE, and will expand to all local jails by the end of 2012.
Under the new program, the immigration checks will be automatic: fingerprints that already are being run through the FBI's criminal history database also will be matched against immigration databases maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. The effort would not catch people who have never been fingerprinted by U.S. authorities.
Based on the pilot program so far, the agency estimates that if fingerprints from all 14 million bookings in local jails each year were screened, about 1.4 million "criminal aliens" would be found, Venturella said. That would be about 10 times the 117,000 criminal illegal immigrants ICE removed from the country last year. There are more than 3,100 local jails nationwide, compared with about 1,200 federal and state prisons.
The program, known as Secure Communities, "presents an historic opportunity to transform immigration enforcement," said Julie Myers Wood, who launched the program last year as head of ICE under Bush.
In his proposed 2010 budget, President Barack Obama asked Congress last week for $200 million for the program, a 30 percent increase that puts it on track to receive $1.1 billion by 2013.
The program could help answer for the first time a question that has been intertwined with debates over immigration policy: What portion of the illegal immigrant population in this country has committed non-immigration crimes?
But even some supporters of the program are skeptical about whether it can be implemented smoothly and if there will be sufficient funding. A surge in deportation cases, noted Stewart Baker, former DHS assistant security of policy, would require more prosecutors and immigration judges, detention beds and other resources.
Venturella also acknowledged that integrating federal, state and local databases is complex and that the capabilities of local jurisdictions vary across the country. Some counties may take several years to be linked in.
"It's a good program. It's a very expensive program," said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy for the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington think tank that advocates tighter immigration controls. "I don't know if it's feasible or sensible for all state and local governments."
Venturella said ICE will give priority to deporting the most dangerous offenders:national security risks or those convicted of violent crimes. Based on initial projections, the agency estimates that there are about 100,000 of these "Level 1 offenders" and that deporting them would cost $1.1 billion over four years. Removing all criminal illegal immigrants would cost $3 billion, ICE said last year.
Critics say that deporting the worst criminal illegal immigrants does not go far enough because it would not deal with an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States or deter further illegal immigration.
"If the Obama administration abandons immigration enforcement in all but the most serious criminal cases, then they will create a de-facto amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants and will encourage even more illegal immigration," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Tex., ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.
He said the Obama administration should complete construction of a border fence, enforce laws against illegal hiring and deport illegal immigrants before they commit crimes.
Amnesty International and immigrant advocates warn that the change could lead to wider use of immigration checks in other arenas and the "criminalization" of illegal immigration. Read more.

Now make it public record President Obama, who is in illegal status? We the public want to make sure the government and police are working and enforcing Immigration Law. Just say "On Hold For ICE".
