[Rhodes22-list] Reduce your federal income tax (political humor)

[Luis Guzman]

Dave,
   
  Ilegal aliens can obtain an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
   
  As defined by the IRS:
   
  "An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service. It is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a 7 or 8 in the fourth digit, example 9XX-7X-XXXX.
IRS issues ITINs to individuals who are required to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
ITINs are issued regardless of immigration status because both resident and nonresident aliens may have U.S. tax return and payment responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code.
Individuals must have a filing requirement and file a valid federal income tax return to receive an ITIN, unless they meet an exception."

Luis,

This doesn't have much to do with sailing, or the Rhodes 22, but I'm 
curious, how does and illegal alien file a tax return? Do they have legitimate 
SSNs? Are they somehow putting themselves at risk by acknowledging they are in 
the country with a tax filing?
