"DHS officials ask IRS to use tax data to locate up to 7 million immigrants
The agencies have still not reached an agreement on sharing information. But immigration officials now say they’re seeking records on millions of people suspected of being in the United States without authorization.
Federal immigration officials are seeking to locate up to 7 million people suspected of being in the United States unlawfully by accessing confidential tax data at the Internal Revenue Service, according to six people familiar with the request, a dramatic escalation in how the Trump administration aims to use the tax system to detain and deport immigrants.
Officials from the Department of Homeland Security had previously sought the IRS’s help to locate 700,000 people who are subject to final removal orders and had asked the IRS to use closely guarded taxpayer data systems to provide their names and addresses.
The two agencies have still not reached an agreement on how much data, or how, IRS will share.
But immigration enforcement officials on Thursday increased the volume of their request, according to the people familiar with it, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of professional reprisal. DHS officials initially said they would send preliminary queries about 2 million taxpayers, and eventually seek help locating 7 million individuals, the people said."
Illegals who are working need fake SS numbers to work. The gov't has never been serious about cracking down on this practice until now.
Cut off the jobs and benefits and they will self deport.
