A massive tax break for remittance companies?

Someone who's an expert on the law in question really needs to take a look at this post. It says that remittances companies, like First Data / Western Union and others, are getting massive tax breaks for helping "immigrants" (mostly illegal aliens) send money back home.

If that's true, I can see this story going MSM. Or, at least going to the small parts of the MSM with guts.

For more on Western Union, see "The Fastest Way To [profit from illegal immigration]". They also played a part in Colorado's guide for illegal aliens.

How would Western Union know whether or not taxes had already been withheld? Maybe SSAN's or TIN's should be required when someone wires money over a certain small amount. This might help in controlling tax evasion by illegals. Remember- immigrants don't cross the border illegally, criminals do!

This is by far the most ignorant, ridiculous claim made so far by that anti-immigrant fanatics.
