This is a perfect example of how liberals take a problem and make it yours

Identity theft is a crime. A serious crime. Social Security theft is a crime. A serious crime.

Identity Theft

Identity (ID) theft is a crime where a thief steals your personal information, such as your full name or social security number, to commit fraud. The identity thief can use your information to fraudulently apply for credit, file taxes, or get medical services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and money to restore your good name. You may not know that you are the victim of ID theft until you experience a financial consequence (mystery bills, credit collections, denied loans) down the road from actions that the thief has taken with your stolen identity.
Stealing a social security number is a felony.

Guadalupe García de Rayos is a convicted felon. She is also an illegal alien. She was convicted of identity theft in 2008. She made use of a stolen social security number to gain employment in the US. Read how this was characterized by AZ Central:

Garcia de Rayos has a felony criminal impersonation conviction. The conviction stems from a 2008 work-site raid carried out by then-Maricopa County Joe Arpaio's deputies. The raid revealed Garcia de Rayos, among other unauthorized workers, had used a Social Security number belonging to someone else to illegally gain employment at Golfland Sunsplash amusement park in Mesa.
See how it was necessary to include Joe Arpaio, reviled by the left for enforcing immigration law.  Garcia de Rayos was finally deported and the MSM absolutely lost its mind over an illegally alien convicted felon being deported.

Scott Pelley:

One of the president's recent orders prioritizes the deportation of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. Well, Carter Evans found a woman caught by this order who had been allowed to remain in Phoenix under president Obama's immigration policy.
Lester Holt:
In Arizona, an undocumented woman at the center of an immigration uproar has now been deported after 21 years living in the U.S., she was arrested yesterday and shipped back to Mexico today. Now the family she leaves behind is voicing their outrage and pointing fingers at the president.

Identity theft is costly. Along with credit card fraud, identity theft is estimated to cost US consumers $16 billion in 2016. And it's not just the money.

It's been nearly three years since Brian Bateman's identity was stolen, and he still finds it painful to talk about.

“Just the thought of doing this interview had me stressed all weekend," says Bateman, a 38-year-old teacher in Morristown, New Jersey. “I don't mind talking about it, but it's just a reminder that every time I think I'm finished dealing with this, something else happens."

Bateman's identity was stolen in 2011 as part of a large East Coast identity theft ring that has landed at least seven people in jail. The ringleaders used stolen identity attributes to open credit cards in the victims' names, then changed the victims' address information to reroute their mail and hide the evidence. Although Bateman had no money stolen, the crime's effects have lingered. “I still get collections notices," he says. “I get 1099 forms for jobs I never held."

Bateman is proof that even when there are no lasting financial effects, identity theft is far from a victimless crime. The emotional toll can be significant: between the hassle of changing bank accounts and passwords to worries of repeat crimes and lack of trust, being a fraud victim can lead to both psychological and physical distress.

Donald Trump promised to deport illegal alien criminals. The LA Times frets that felons will be considered felons for the purposes of deportation screening.

What drives some of crazy is liberal inability to accept consequences of one's actions.

They certainly have no problem demanding that you accept the consequences of their actions!

How Trump’s doing it is how I would do it. Get rid of the illegals who committed other crimes first. Then go after the rest.

PING!

Not sure its the same thing to have somebody emptying your bank account or using your credit card vs using your ss number to work. While both are illegal, the former seems far nastier to me.

I saw a documentary about a guy that had his identity stolen and was used for employment in a state hundreds of miles away from where he lived. He provided proof to the IRS that it was not him working in two places, and they said too bad, that it’s not their job to go after identity thieves, only to collect from the social security number. For years that poor man had his earnings confiscated to pay taxes for the thief.

The identity theft prevention industry has been good to Rush Limbaugh for well over a decade. Am I the only one who has noticed that peculiar symbiosis?

Then her “family she left behind” should grab their probably stolen stuff and haul their asses back to be with her. Mother is a criminal - a thief - that means her kids are criminals in training.

Identity Theft began with the digital age.
Everybody is out there.
My company uses a different source of the same protection for every employee.

Rush has a sponsor that pays good money for him to tout their product.

Here is a funny one. Back in HS my idiot pysch teacher had everybody do mock interviews on the other students.

I have everyone’s name and SSN from that class. I found that notebook about 10 years ago. The class was 1981.

You're right; it's not just about the money. It's also about all the time it takes to straighten out the problem and the mental anguish it causes the victim. I've been an investigator for over two decades and have seen illegal immigrants and organized crime rings either steal, buy fake IDs (some else's SSN or DL), and/or pay for lists of social security numbers for about $10 - 25 each. And they really seem to care dhow many problems it causes their victims. They're just in it for the money or trying to get ID they can use to buy cars, rent apartments or houses, government benefits, or employment (need the SSN for the IRS). Many citizens don't even know their SSNs have been stolen u til they apply or credit.

That is a good way to check yourself. Apply for credit from time to time if your not worried about your credit score.

Background check for free.

Make identity theft by an illegal a capital offense. No deportation or prison, they face the firing squad.

This isn’t about stealing money, it’s about putting down a socialist democrat condoned invading force.

Illegals need to be treated like foreign enemy combatants, not like domestic court cases.

The feds deal with illegals; not states, counties, or cities.

This includes federal agencies. If federal workers refuse to enforce the law, then they can sit in federal prison too.

Good point. State defense forces should thus be mobilizable too, blowing out the water that a state cannot do the feds job the feds refuse to do according to Obama

In a followup story the children went to Mexico after her deportation and were with her in Mexico just across the border.

To travel to Mexico one has to have a passport, or passport card.

This brings up a few questions:

When did the children obtain these documents? It could not be after she was arrested, since it takes a while for a passport to be issued.

Had they visited Mexico before?

If they went without a passport, how are they getting back?
