Why can't socialist security cards be swipable like credit cards and a system put in place for immediate verification?

Because that would make too much sense. After all it's not like the states don't already do something like that for drivers licenses now is it?

Probably because too much of our economy depends on illegal use of SS numbers. Any serious effort to restrict the use of SS numbers or to adequately protect them from misuse is met with a lot of protest by every kind of group from illegal aliens to major financial institutions.

Misuse of SS numbers results in fraud in employment, medicare, banking, credit card use, etc. These frauds result in a few prosecutions while putting billions of dollars in circulation within the financial community with no penalty to those who profit by those transactions.

That would be too easy. The answer: because the illegals could no longer be able to use stolen SSNs. You think this giant loophole is not permitted for a reason?

I vote for arresting the sob who is using the stolen number.
