First, the bad news: The data breach is massive, and contains tons of information that you'd probably rather keep private. Every state compiles voting records after each election, and while the information is not usually public, it's not impossible to obtain legally, either. In order to vote, citizens disclose their names, addresses, birth dates, genders, ethnicities, dates of voter registration, party affiliation, e-mail addresses (optional) and party affiliations.

It gets worse: The database contains records of the candidates for whom people voted since 2000.

From there, the government adds a voter ID number, information about absentee voter status and whether or not a person is on the Do Not Call list. It gets worse, however: The database also contains records of the candidates for whom people voted since 2000.

Question: Why is the records of who you voted for kept in the same database as the name, ramk and horsepower database?

If you are a veteran, you know there's really only one time the Pentagon cares about you -- when it has to inform you that your personal data has been exposed to hacking.

That has happened to me, and millions of others.

Just recently, the Office of Personnel Management admitted that between 2 and 25 million personnel records were exposed to hackers.

So the next time a dentist demands your SSN, pause and consider whether a dentist could protect your data when the federal govt could not.

Any American with an Hispanic name is a prime target of the 12 million illegals. Two years ago my personal information was being used by at least two illegals, it costs me lots of money and months to clear up. I hired an attorney and went after the two identified as using my data, even though I handed the evidence to the police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement on a silver platter; neither would pursue charges against them. It was explained to me that it's so common they don't pursue identity theft by illegals, they wouldn't even talk to the illegals, it's seen as harassment since the current view of the administration is that the illegals are being "forced" to come up with fake information, just to get by, due to no clear path to citizenship. I was told my only path was to sue them in civil court but good luck with that one.

Apparently that is one basic way in which illegals operate illegally within America.

They'll steal one valid SSN and then 20 illegals will use that until somebody catches it.

[sillydaddy]

That "somebody" is usually the IRS.

Not only do the illegals use these SSNs to get jobs.....

They file federal tax returns to try and get the Earned Income Credit using their illegal kids.

Wouldn't that trigger an IRS action? 20 people filing for the same tax return would cause me to question the tax return and begin to ask questions.

Under Obama the IRS's resources are targeted upon the enemy, those who don't support his agenda. The IRS has actually helped illegals commit tax refund fraud.

IRS Sent $46,378,040 in Refunds to 23,994 ‘Unauthorized’ Aliens at 1 Atlanta Address. CNSNews.com) - The inspector general’s 2012 audit report on the IRS’s handling of ITINs was spurred by two IRS employees who went to members of Congress "alleging that IRS management was "requiring" IRS employees to assign Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) even when the applications were fraudulent.” In an August 2012 press release accompanying the audit report, TIGTA said the report “validated” the complaints of the IRS employees.

The Internal Revenue Service sent 23,994 tax refunds worth a combined $46,378,040 to “unauthorized” alien workers who all used the same address in Atlanta, Ga., although IRS workers noted the same address was being used they were told to send the checks, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA).

That was not the only Atlanta address theoretically used by thousands of “unauthorized” alien workers receiving millions in federal tax refunds in 2011. In fact, according to a TIGTA audit report published last year, four of the top ten addresses to which the IRS sent thousands of tax refunds to “unauthorized” aliens were in Atlanta.

The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to unauthorized alien workers at a second Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.Other locations on the IG’s Top Ten list for singular addresses that were theoretically used simultaneously by thousands of unauthorized alien workers, included an address in Oxnard, Calif, where the IRS sent 2,507 refunds worth $10,395,874; an address in Raleigh, North Carolina, where the IRS sent 2,408 refunds worth $7,284,212; an address in Phoenix, Ariz., where the IRS sent 2,047 refunds worth $5,558,608; an address in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., where the IRS sent 1,972 refunds worth $2,256,302; an address in San Jose, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,942 refunds worth $5,091,027; and an address in Arvin, Calif., where the IRS sent 1,846 refunds worth $3,298,877.

Perhaps the most remarkable act of the IRS was this: It assigned 6,411 ITINs to unauthorized aliens presumably using a single address in Morganton, North Carolina. According to the 2010 Census, there were only 16,681 people in Morganton. So, for the IRS to have been correct in issuing 6,411 ITINS to unauthorized aliens at a single address in Morganton it would have meant that 38 percent of the town’s total population were unauthorized alien workers using a single address.

TIGTA said there were 154 addresses around the country that appeared on 1,000 or more ITIN applications made to the IRS.


Since 1999, the IRS has issued what it calls Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to two classes of persons: 1) non-resident aliens who have a tax liability in the United States, and 2) aliens living in the United States who are “not authorized to work in the United States.”

So how many IRS people do you thing we're fired? ZERO, in fact Obama's Immigration Czar who designed the scam with Obama's appointed IRS Director to reward illegals for coming and staying in the United States were given bonuses.

Controversies
Iraqi Intelligence Service documents

On October 4, 2004, CNS reported that a "senior government official who is not a political appointee" provided CNS with 42 pages of Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) documents which were then translated from Arabic by two CNS translators. CNS reports that the official told them that the documents answer "whether or not Iraq was a state sponsor of Islamic terrorism against the United States. It also answers whether or not Iraq had an ongoing biological warfare project continuing through the period when the UNSCOM inspections ended."[5] Details can be found at Cybercast News Service: Claim of Hussein's WMD, Ties to Al Qaeda.
False claim about Paul Begala

A July 15, 2005, CNS article claimed that Democratic strategist Paul Begala said that Republicans wanted to kill him and his family. [6] Begala vehemently denied this, claiming that when he said, "They want to kill me and my children if they can," he was referring to terrorists, not Republicans. [7] CNS refused to retract the claim, insisting that "[t]here was nothing unclear about what Begala said."[8] Then-CNS editor in chief David Thibault challenged Begala for his "unmistakable and outrageous coupling of terrorists and Republicans."[9]
Attack on John Murtha

A January 13, 2006, CNS article assailed the military record of Democratic Rep. John Murtha, a former Marine who has heavily criticized the Iraq war. The article quoted people who were either former political opponents of Murtha or who were dead or incapacitated casting aspersions on the two Purple Hearts Murtha earned while serving in the Vietnam War.[10] The next day, the Washington Post repeated the article's allegations.[11] Critics likened the CNS article to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth attacks on the war record of Democrat John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign as another example of conservatives attempting to discredit the military credentials of Democrats in order to blunt their criticism of the Iraq war.[12]

Just saying.
