“I would like to follow up on the comments of my dear friends' Special Order earlier by Congressman Ron DeSantis. I know there were a number of people who spoke, but the ones I actually saw and heard--Congressman DeSantis, a dear friend, dear friend Ted Yoho, and my dear friend Jim Jordan--did an extraordinary job of laying out why we simply have to show that this House has standards, that Congress has rules, and you can only thumb your nose so far. You can only lie and defraud and, in some ways, be incompetent before there has to be an impeachment. And with regard to the head of the Internal Revenue Service, the case has been made very effectively in the prior Special Order. So I want to add on to that by reference to this article from the Washington Examiner entitled, ``IRS Chief:''--basically, the IRS chief is saying this; this is the headline--``Agency Encourages Illegal Immigrant Theft of Social Security Numbers to File Tax Returns.'' {time} 1915 It is by Rudy Takala, dated April 12. It says, ``The IRS is struggling to ensure that illegal immigrants are able to illegally use Social Security numbers for legitimate purposes, the agency's head told senators on Tuesday, without allowing the numbers to be used for `bad' reasons.'' Now, that is the IRS director's reasoning. It is okay for someone illegally in the United States to be engaged in identity theft.…”
