It's not a question of knowing or not. The problem is,

they don't care, as long as it advances the agenda.

They know stuff like this but they won`t report on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… 10 illegal aliens in S.C. admit to bilking IRS out of $13 million

By David Dykes ? Staff writer ? April 2, 2010



Ten people illegally in the United States pleaded guilty for their involvement in a four-year, $13 million fraud against the Internal Revenue Service, acting U.S. Attorney Kevin F. McDonald said Thursday.



Nine defendants pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and for entering the United States without authorization, Assistant U.S. Attorney David C. Stephens told The Greenville News .



The 10th defendant pleaded guilty to mail fraud and illegal entry, Stephens said. Senior U.S. District Judge G. Ross Anderson Jr. accepted the pleas and will sentence the defendants later.



“This is the largest tax fraud case that I’m aware of ever occurring in the district of South Carolina,” Stephens said. “This is an extraordinarily serious, large case.”



McDonald said that between 2006 and November 2009, two tax preparation businesses, Seguros Internacionales, operating in Spartanburg and Forest City, N.C., and Poz Servicios Para Hispanos, operating in Boiling Springs, along with affiliated individuals filed more than 10,000 federal income tax returns claiming more than $22 million in refunds.



The IRS paid approximately $13 million in refunds before criminal investigators discovered most of the returns filed were fraudulent, McDonald said.

Seguros Internacionales and Poz Servicios Para Hispanos have been shut down, he said.



Agents estimate at least 20 people were involved in operating the scheme in which tax preparers knowingly claimed tax credits or deductions to which filers weren’t entitled, McDonald said.



One tax credit improperly claimed on a majority of the false returns was for child care expenses, prosecutors said. The credit can result in a refund even if no taxes were paid, prosecutors said.



Of the 10 people pleading guilty Thursday, nine were “runners” who solicited others to have their returns falsely prepared and then assisted them in getting their refund checks cashed, Stephens said.



McDonald identified them as Edgar Carrillo-Borjas, Miguel Angel Carrillo-Borjas, David Hernandez-Juarez, Ariana Canseco-Orozco, Maribel Juan-Orozco, Cristina Sanchez-Perez, Juan Carlos Carrillo-Roy, Carlos Carrillo-Rodriguez, all of Mexico, and Luis Gerardo Mora-Vargas, of Costa Rica.



The 10th person, Omar Maldonado-Cardenas, of Mexico, had an active role running the day-to-day operations at Seguros Internacionales for two years, McDonald said.

He said two other people in the case pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this year to obstruction of justice.



Juan Manuel Galban Ortega and Rodolfo Magana Escoto, both of Mexico, admitted burning documents and records associated with Seguros Internacionales, according to McDonald and federal court records.



On Nov. 17, approximately 100 law enforcement agents served search warrants and conducted interviews at various locations throughout the Upstate in connection with the investigation, McDonald said.

According to prosecutors, the 12 people who were convicted remain in federal custody and are awaiting sentencing. They face maximum penalties ranging from five to 20 years. All will be deported after completing their sentences, prosecutors said.

In connection with the case, five more people were arrested this week and charged with conspiring to defraud the United States, according prosecutors and court records.Does MSNBC know weather or not it is crime to be an illegal alien?
MSNBC, like NBC is run by far left socialists.

They are agenda driven and not concerned with giving you the truth.
Wow, is Saturday Night Live did this as a sketch no one would believe it. Too Good!
They know it is illegal to be here illegally, as do we all, but it is also illegal to violate the fourth amendment of the US Constitution, the right to privacy, witch is what the proposed law in Arizona does.
I don't think they do - it's whether not weather.
It's not a federal crime. It's a civil offense.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1325 .



Apparently the problem here is that right-wingers don't understand the difference between civil and criminal penalties. If you're feeling superior right now because you think you understand that being an illegal alien is a crime, then congratulations: you know nothing about the American legal system.



To sum up: not everything that is illegal is a crime. She's right, and you (and other self-satisfied right-winger fake lawyers like you) are wrong.
Is this a bad issue politically at this time?" Sanchez replied: "I think this is a great issue politically at this time because, for the future in particular, the Hispanic community, which is a big immigrant community and which, of course, has some of the people who are with the least documents, correct documents, it is going to be the political force for the future in this country."



You can't make this stuff up!
Being here illegally is a Federal offense; Federal agents are the ones responsible for locating/ deporting illegal immigrants. BTW, the punishment is a fine, not prison.



This law made it a STATE crime.



Perhaps there's someone else in this equation who is clueless...
Who's clueless? YOU.



IF you bothered to read your own post, you would have discovered the text on the screen was referring to the ARIZONA law just passed.



Under FEDERAL law, simply being here illegally is NOT necessarily a "CRIME" (a felony or a misdemeanor).
Nobody watch MSNBC, that's why they are facing bankruptcy, too many lies, to many bias, they make up 50% of their news.



I won't spend a minute watching them.
I think most liberals don't know, or care. Laws of any sort don't get much notice unless it violates their sexual freedom.
Weather? But seriously, they don't know much about anything. Olberman is pathetic.
Ha, Ha...

Thats about the extent of their logic.....
wateva



last time I checked...America is the home of the free....so let the free come to America



We are where the American dream is made and I don't have a problem with "illegal aliens"

besides most of those poor people do jobs Americans don't want. Cut them some slack
