Let me ask this of you, the ITIN is only good for filing taxes, meanwhile one cannot use this same ITIN on employment applications, where it ask for SS #, no where does it say ITIN can be used in place of SS#. To have taxes deducted,it would require a SS #.

Err ya go moonshinner_09, thinking of the system like it is supposed to work for everyone.
There be rules and laws and jails for all of us regular law abiding folks, and then there be the 'exceptions' for those that make the laws, break the laws and use the laws for their own personal gain, a.k.a. crooked politicians and anyone who will vote for them.
Slavery is illegal too...and there be many who will tell you it has been abolished in this country. But anyone with eyes can see that it has only taken another form. One that is being driven by corruptocrats and their business cronies. Their corrupt system of business operations not only weakens the employment opportunities for those who legally reside in this country, it places huge demands on our entire tax based infrastructure.
Who is it that benefits the most from the illegal workers?
The American consumer? I don't tink soooo.
The American taxpayer? Not hardly.
The American worker? Hardee-har-har!
The illegally underpaid illegal worker? Maybe better than starving, but they have zero rights to protest any abuse. Who then?
Think about it. Follow the money, follow the power...you will find businesses making good profits from illegals and politicians that know how to exploit it.
Like 10 kids getting candy from a vending machine that just spits out goodies. Every one of them knows it is wrong, but who wants to spoil such a good thing?

The ITIN is a taxpayer ID number and there is a form for acceptance for it with the IRS and if not, how the heck are illegals able to apply for the eventual permanent resident status? In order to grant green card status, one must have SSS. Dude, I’m not defending illegals here because I’m probably the only Freeper who advocates placing landmines at the border. But the immigration system has holes that are big enough that also allows illegals to move up and be legal.
