[b]Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. -- A federal grand jury indicted eight illegal immigrants Wednesday on charges of stealing tax refund checks from Texas workers and using phony IDs to cash them in Kansas.
The indictment accuses immigrants from Mexico and Honduras of using fraudulent Texas driver’s licenses in the names of the legal workers whose refund checks were stolen to cash them in Wichita and Hutchinson. It charges them with conspiracy to defraud the United States, illegal re-entry, forgery, aggravated identity theft and possession and use of fraudulent documents.
The dozen or so tax refund checks identified so far in the case were processed at the Internal Revenue Service Center in Austin, Texas, and mailed to apartments in Austin, Houston and Dallas, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson said.

We could be seeing a precedent set here in this.
If these people are found guilty of these charges, and the identity theft, SSNO theft and so on are in that, then we need to use that to further push legislators and local politicians to vigorously go after all of the illegal aliens who use SSNO's who are not theirs, and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the laws (you know, like how it would be pursued if it was an American who stole someones identity?......).“In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned.
