A divided Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that illegal immigrants who use someone else's information when filling out tax forms for employment can face criminal charges, despite federal laws that liberal justices claim should prohibit such cases.
The Immigration Control and Reform Act (IRCA) makes it a federal crime to lie on the I-9 work authorization form, while limiting how the false information can be used. Federal law also says information "contained in" the I-9 cannot be used for law enforcement other than specified exceptions -- but the Supreme Court ruled that if workers use the same information in tax documents, they can face charges.

If fraudulent information from an I9 transferred to other documents cannot be considered criminal, then we have separate but unequal justice where fraud committed by illegals is unpunishable. SCOTUS got it right
But why is there an exemption in the first place? Lie to Congress and face prosecution. Lie about immigration and get a free pass.

If I'd used false identification to get a job, I'd be prosecuted. To think four Supreme Court justices believe some special classes should be exempt from fraud laws is pretty scary.
It should not be easy to be an illegal alien. I can remember when Hispanics would learn basic English responses such as yes, no, please and thank you to avoid using Spanish in public and calling attention to themselves. Now illegals chatter away in Spanish no matter where they are and don't care. It is frustrating that so many jobs require you to speak Spanish to people who refuse to learn English.

As invaders to a country, any country, illegal aliens should be subject to all laws of the invaded country and not allowed any rights conveyed by that country's constitution.

If we can find prosecutors who will actually work these cases, this can have a huge impact. None of them can be employed in any significant sized employer without tax docs. If they are arrested for fraudulent tax docs, they will not be able to work, and they will be either arrested, jailed, then deported or the ones missed will see that this is their future and self deport.
The key will be: "are there prosecutors who will actually enforce the laws on these illegals?"
In central and south central KS there are large meat packing operations who have huge illegal worker numbers. I would bet that the Garden City and Liberal, KS prosecutors will try to protect these huge employers rather than enforce the laws.
But, we will see.

According to a local KS newspaper article on a fire at one Tyson plant in Garden City, they added this general info.
"Tyson Foods operates six plants in Kansas, employing more than 5,600 people. In the company’s fiscal year 2018, it paid $269 million in wages within Kansas and estimated its total economic impact in the state to be more than $2.4 billion. "
A hell of a lot of those workers are illegals, and a lot of that money goes back to Mexico.

Illegals get away with everything because the dems need a new underclass to hoodwink. Blacks are waking up to the fact that the dems have treated them like slaves on an inner city plantation. They think they have a chance with the illegals. That's is why they give everything to them and nothing to American citizens who may not vote for them. Money and support only go to those that vote dem.

If illegals are not fully subject our laws, then they are subject to the laws of their home countries...by definition their offspring are not us citizens

I guess the 4 'justices' think that since the illegals are democrats voters or future dems, the same laws apply to them that seem to apply to all dems, and that's that it is OK to lie to the federal government if you're a democrat.

So the four Communist judges have no problem with illegals using someone else's name for tax forms, social security cards, voting, etc.

I guess that means the lib judges don't care if an illegal immigrant uses their information.

Once again, liberals who keep saying that "no one is above the law" demonstrate that they clearly feel that some people, particularly illegal aliens who are already breaking the law just by being here, are above the laws that apply to the rest of us.

Now what happens when the person, who's identity was fraudulently used, gets a call from the IRS for an audit. And the incomes reported don't match the submitted tax forms? I've had my share of IRS run ins. When the IRS determines that your taxes aren't correct, they re-fill it our for you, for your convenience, using the 1040EZ. They send you a bill and you pay it. You have to pay it first, THEN contest the IRS determination.
I once couldn't write a check anywhere because someone in New Mexico was passing bad checks using my driver's License number.

What the ....? It took the SCOTUS to say stealing IDs and using those IDs fraudulently on Federal and State forms is beyond laws becasue the illegal filled out a I-9? Really? If we all became illegals and used an I-9 we could all get away with tax fraud. Only our silly arse goobernment woulld make crime legal if one is only illegal.

So Congress passed a corrupt special interest law that essentially protects illegal aliens who commit fraud as part of the big 1986 amnesty from US criminal prosecution, but if American citizens committed the same fraud as millions of illegal aliens have been doing all along, those American citizens would have been subject to criminal prosecution, how is that equal protection of the law? And why has that matter taken 43 years to get to the Supreme Court?

Overturning our worthless, leftist Kansas Supreme Court, thankfully.
It will be good to have illegals arrested and convicted on their rampant, massive ID theft fraud.
And it is really, really sad that the damned Congress wrote a law specifically protecting illegal aliens from being prosecuted for fraud on some of their fraudulent paperwork. Fortunately, it doesn't cover the tax fraud.
Congress is horrible to support this fraud by illegals. I wonder if these pukes will next try to make it OK for illegals to put in fraudulent tax documents, too. Illegals are immune from many US laws, that is way wrong.
