An anonymous listener to “Con Games” complains ever-so-crankily about illegal immigrants who add dependents to their taxes like there’s no tomorrow. “One of the ruses employed by in-the-know illegals (and they are as a group surprisingly ‘in the know’),” he writes, “is to claim a large number of dependents because this increases the net size of their weekly paycheck. This works well for them insamuch as they often have no intent whatsoever to ever file an income tax return because it is their plan to have moved on to another employer, and another, and each and every time they arrange to have the least amount of money deducted from their checks….after all when tax time comes, they don’t care that their single status would require that they make up the less than appropriately withheld difference…they won’t be filing or paying taxes anyway. In other words, the only shot that the government gets at their income is through the deductions that come in for each pay period, and this little maneuver has side stepped that access to those taxes rightfully due from the illegal.”
