Undocumented migrants don’t benefit from FICA, but do benefit in many states from healthcare and most states from public schools. Regardless, it’s criminal for DHS to steal private IRS data. When is the “small government” MAGA going to care about all their government overreach and abuse??

Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on. C’mon people, let’s be Real! The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!

Trump is the Only president to choose a ProRussian for campaign manager. During the 2016 RNC, Russians strolled around the room greeting folks. Republicans were Mute. Nothing to see…move along. Yes Trump is a Russian asset.

The idea is to damage every single department of the government! Until they no longer function as they are supposed to; then Mr Trump and his cronies will have every reason to take over everything because it’s non-functional! “Our congress” isn’t doing a damn thing to stop any of it! They’re guilty

There’s going to be a thriving cash only economy among migrant and immigrant populations, and a corresponding drop in tax revenues. 4th Amendment violations aside, this is so stupid and outrageous in its economic effects that it’s almost laughable.

We certainly need to stop all of those immigrants from paying taxes and contributing to Social Security! What nerve! Immigrants are paying taxes without getting any benefits? They must not be very smart. We don't need these awful people who change our diapers (adults), care for our children,

clean up our messes, care for our lawns, run businesses and create jobs, clean our homes, work in slaughter houses, and work in snake infested fields, picking our produce. They're eating our pets and taking our jobs! I want to work in a snake infested field in 90 degree heat picking lettuce! WTF!

But I thought immigrants without legal status didn’t pay taxes? Isn’t that what they rattled off a few months ago? Gosh I feel like I’ve had whiplash 27 times in the last week. Vaccines are bad- wait they save children’s lives.TARIFFS ON EVERYONE CRASH THE ECONOMY! Jk let’s wait 3 months. Now this.

Exactly. Pretty sure Trump has be an employer of “illegal aliens”. There’s going to be a huge worker shortage ( farm workers esp. ) & food prices will go up way more & your deficit will be huge again also ! Only his brain & duck are small.

Just ignore all the insider trading from the White House and hunt down grandma because she didn’t have a unique social security number or valid birthday in the system. (Hint, before the 1970s it was common that only the working spouse had a social security number and it was shared by the other)

Well, actually undocumented immigrants have to pay tax and have very limited or even don't have any benefits. These are all posted on the government websites. But people just choose to ignore the truth and trust the stupid rumors.

Alternative headline: Our sensitive and previously undisclosed IRS data is being used to target TAX PAYING people should always remain confidential.

Looks like the ‘stable genius’ turned “Wall Street sorcerer” just face-planted his own pump-and-dump spell. Abracadabra, you’re still broke, markets are down and 401ks are still being eviscerated. #Winning 😐

Three resignations in less than 90 days. And deputies and support staff. Days before tax deadline. Unbelievable. This is further evidence of this regime's plan to force chaos and collapse on our agencies, then privatization for the felons' greed.

I have a hard time with this,why in the world would you want to deport them if they are working and paying taxes? I think they are needed, they are probably doing the jobs most Americans wont or cant do. If all these jobs coming back to America these people will be needed. Just get the criminals out

Because they won't get fired on camera and whatever they say will get spun as from a "bitter fired employee". Resigning very publicly let's them get the message out. They know they're out either way

The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service resigned after the Treasury Department and Homeland Security reached an agreement to share tax data from some immigrants living in the country without legal status. To find the 'immigrants,' they had to search every American's Tax and banking Details!

Im a little torn on this as I respect this man for this heroic stand but it does nothing and although NPR is reporting it now, the news will be forgotten in a day or two at best. So I see the ethical stand he is making & understand it but I think he may have been able to do more from the inside 🤔

Undocumented workers pay taxes using what is called an ITIN number, which you can get if you don't have a SSN. The IRS is agnostic about citizenship, and just wants to collect taxes. This move will harm now tax paying people who have traded services for wages, and paid taxes on them.

No it doesn’t and no they aren’t. Immigrants use TIN’s to file taxes and have been assured by the US govt that they can pay taxes w/out fear of reprisal. So now we repay these people by using the data and money they voluntarily gave to deport them. Just one more betrayal

Right, let's deport people who actually pay their taxes instead of the billionaires who don't pay taxes, or a living wage, and take corporate welfare by us subsidizing their employees with Medicaid, housing and food assistance. What could possibly go wrong. 🙄

Remember when lying Donold and the new Republicans said they were going after criminal immigrants? Why are they going after semi documented immigrants THAT ARE WORKING AND PAYING TAXES? Because oath breaker wants big beautiful numbers and they can’t find criminal immigrants?

…the citizens keep losing the people we need most in government, the gate keepers…but it seems possible that Pres Elon already has that info downloaded on some main frame hidden away somewhere for later use…
