Excerpts from news report:

An estimated 700-thousand people are victims of identity theft each year. It's a staggering statistic, and now, it's happened to a soldier currently serving in "Operation Iraqi Freedom."

"We received notification from the IRS, stating that there was unreported income coming from California, and we had twenty days to pay up two thousand dollars," says Melissa.

Just another fact on how far/low these illegals from south of the border will go to steal from Americans... too bad I don't live in California.. I would give this lowlife a little visit.. on behalf of this soldier and his family!

I am sure his wife would be more than willing to tell anyone where this lowlife lives...

Hey, it's the third world culture that's part of our post-American "diversity". Plenty more to come, as long as we have immigration policies that allow the world's worst people to come here and enjoy the fruits of our predecessors. Am I a nativist? You're damn right. It' my country, and I don't appreciate these people ruining it. And, I don't care who doesn't like my opinion. It's more important than the opinion of any of these immigrants, since it's my country, my nation.

I was thinking I wish she would have said the name of the employer so we could all bombard him with calls.

Why not find the person who stole the identity, confine him to a military stockade for 30 days for being AWOL, and then, when he gets out, send him to Iraq? Seems fair to me....after all, it was HIS idea.....

Cool Logic

This stuff just keeps being a repeat. Notice the employer wouldn't return their call. He won't either. It isn't hurting him. Say the Iraq soldier gets home. What's he going to think of his country filled with illegals and the government sent him to Iraq to fight terriosts.. I just hope he knows we really appreciate his sacrifice over there. But, I am sure he will agree that our country needs some war on terriosts. Then again our government would try playing the race card. Which is stupid. It isn't race its illegals stampeding our country trying to make us learn spanish. We have been a country accepting immigrants for years. This is an invasion of illegals doing illegal things after entering illegal. They just don't get it. I hope they shut this employer down and deport him along with his employee.It would serve him right.

Considering the obvious arrogance and disrespect displayed when entering this country . . . are you surprised, Arizona Bound?

These people are common criminals and should be addressed and treated as such and their so frequently claimed "civil rights" should only be honored as they exit this country.
