But they aren’t paying into FICA or SS. If they are, they’re doing it with a stolen or fraudulent number.

+1x10¹⁰ This needs shouting from the rooftops. The ONLY way illegals would be paying Federal taxes is through stolen identities.

I’m thinking, how hard could it be to investigate this?

The President asks SocSec Admin to get a list of SSNs that are being used at different companies, simultaneously. Easy, I think. SSN is being used by one person working at Taco Bell, another person working construction, another person working at Applebee’s, another person working for a landscaper, another person working at a meat processing plant. Have SocSec Investigators[they have their own, armed investigators] show up to each place on a Tuesday and ask to interview that person. And have him/her produce their SS card. EZ-PZ. Business doesn’t even have to get in trouble, the first time, but they are encouraged to take part in the EVerify program.

Take each of them into custody for fraud, Identity theft and a quick flight out of the country. You’ll see folks dropping like flies once a few of these stories start getting around.
