File this under "Proof the USA is screwed beyond belief".

The refund numbers below work out to anywhere from $190 to $3000 each,
with the average being $1600.

Just from the examples given in this story, the IRS handed out a total
of $85 million in refunds to a total of 53,750 "unauthorized" alien
workers - with the refunds sent to a total of just 10 different street
addresses.

I imagine that the residents of those addresses installed extra-large
mail boxes for these special deliveries...

few years back the IRS nailed a group of ~30 people that ran this scam in
the Dallas area. the little folk received chump change and the big dogs
pocketed the heavy cash under 'refund anticipation loans'.
